    Cloud and Tifa

    by
    Here is the original assignment. They were best friends as kids. They told stories, and made promises to one another. All was fine until the war began. Cloud joined the military so Tifa would notice him; this is an important memory to him. Tifa: Talk to me. About anything, some important memory to you… Now that … Continue reading Cloud and Tifa

    Digital Story Flakes

    by
    Here is the original assignment. Do you know your favorite cereal? Maybe it’s a sugary kind like Reeses’ Puffs or Fruity Pebbles; or, maybe it’s a healthy kind like Raisin Bran or Special K. Either way, you have probably identified over the years one that you love and cherish. This article is not about your … Continue reading Digital Story Flakes

    Quality work… I think not!

    by
    Here is the actual assignment. Enrepreneur.com states that no one should work more than 80 hours in two weeks. One reason for this is that the quality of the produced work will suffer due to worker exhaustion. You might think that working beyond normal hours would only slightly reduce the quality of production. This is not often the case as detrimental contributions … Continue reading Quality work… I think not!

    Through My Window

    by
    Here is the original assignment. I walked out from my room. A long hallway stood between me and happiness: a window that peered off my deck onto the grassland and roads below. How could I cross this impeccable distance? There were so many distractions in the way. First, I stumbled over my cat. Meooow! “Jeter, what … Continue reading Through My Window

    Apple + Amazon = Applezon

    by
    Here is the original assignment. If I could merge two companies together, I wouldn’t merge Apple and Amazon. The two companies provide vastly different services and products to their customers. I would, however, combine their logos into an epic melding of the two. Behold all that is Applezon.

    Car Love

    by
    My girlfriend and I would always watch the Cartoon Network show Regular Show. We liked the show a lot, so we named our cars after two of the characters. My car Mordecai is on the left, while her car Benson is on the right. Below are our two cars ‘kissing’. Below are the characters from the show. You … Continue reading Car Love

    Buffer Overflow!!!

    by
    No one will understand this except for the true nerds. Here is the original assignment. Basically, the story behind this photograph is that I am a huge nerd. I made traffic signs that appeal to programmers. The reason the signs are yellow is because yellow indicates caution. The ‘<<‘ and ‘>>’ are shift operators in … Continue reading Buffer Overflow!!!

    Hey DS106’ers! Let’s start off this blitz strong with an FU to those who are offended! Be bold everyone! Human emotion ‘Human emotion’ just emanates from this photograph, can’t you tell? The expression of dislike toward completing idiotic tasks. A true masterpiece. Self-reference is a beautiful thing.

    Week 4

    by
    Audio storytelling, woooooo! <crickets> I wrote about talking to machines, or Russian chat-bots, whichever sounds more convincing. I pretended to have taught a communication class in which a student who had no concept of good communication tried to introduce himself. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see myself putting together a puppet, so I only made 3 daily … Continue reading Week 4

    Audio Storytelling

    by
    What did I learn this week? I learned how to record sounds from my computer, appreciate radio, and not much else. What did you struggle with? Not going insane. It’s a pain to edit audio and enjoy the process. At first I struggled with obtaining the sound files I wanted to use. Having a soundboard … Continue reading Audio Storytelling

    No gimmicks here. I'd write a self help book that helps people without a forced theme. @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1345 pic.twitter.com/yMVGdzJ4GV— Chris Zimmerman (@sanctum10) September 15, 2015 Tweet

    Talking To Machines

    by
    Check out the original audio. Overall, how effective do you think audio was for telling the story? Using audio as a medium was perfectly fine. Many ideas of the story, such as instant messaging, are easy to visualize and do not require video. There was a ton of post-production. If video were included, I’m sure … Continue reading Talking To Machines

    Another wonderful day. Time to print an awesome cat picture! Oh no, out of paper again. I could have sworn we had bought more rolls. These cats are losing their color!

    Nuggets of Storytelling

    Week 3

    by
    What is Storytelling? Storytelling is this… Digital Storytelling is this… What did you learn this unit about your notion of storytelling? I learned that I’m pretty godawful at it, and that I find it to be more of nuisance than something useful. Where might it apply to your interests or studies? It’s a good way … Continue reading Week 3
