I absolutely LOVE photography. I am the annoying friend who always wants to stop for a picture. My friends are just used to it by now. In high school, I took four years of photography and absolutely loved it. Plus I had an incredible teacher, so that definitely made the experience even more enjoyable. I […]

The daily create assignment for today was to make your own 2048 game. I used to be addicted to 2048. I would play it ALL the time. It was bad. Haha! I decided to make 2048: Lilly Pulitzer edition because I wanted to see bright colors. All of the Lilly Pulitzer prints bring a smile […]

What is a droodle?   “Droodles was a syndicated cartoon feature created by Roger Price and collected in his 1953 bookDroodles. The trademarked name “Droodle” is a nonsense word suggesting “doodle”, “drawing” and “riddle.” Wikipedia.” That was the example given in […]

Week two definitely went a lot better than week one did for me. I was able to post things without struggling to figure out how to do it. I also got the hang of how to do new things. I have really enjoyed seeing everyones tweets on twitter. I downloaded TweetDeck, which has made Twitter SO […]

The Daily Create Assignment for 1/23/2015 was to make an eye selfie. When I saw the assignment I was like make an eye selfie? Okay! So I got out my Nikon and started trying. It was a bit hard at first because I have never taken an eye selfie, but once I got the settings […]

The Daily Create Assignment for today was to record myself yodeling. I do have to say, this is quite possible the weirdest thing I have ever recorded.

This week, we were assigned to read several pieces of noir. The required piece for this week is “The Postman Always Rings Twice” by James M. Cain. This piece was pretty racist in my opinion. There was a lot of stereotyping happening in the beginning. At the end of Chapter 2, things took a turn […]

The Daily Create Assignment for today was to make a cat, on a synthesizer, in space. At first I was like what on earth? Then I was like oh whatever, just go with it. This class has definitely made me think out of the box and jump out of my comfort zone. I would never even […]

I think overwhelming is an understatement when describing this week. I added ds106 late on Wednesday night and have been trying to figure everything out ever since. I am not very technologically savvy, so I knew going into it that this class would be a challenge for me. Instead of calling it a challenge, I want to […]

The Daily Create Assignment for Thursday, 1-15-2015 was to create a fobot. What is a fobot? Well I used my resources to find out.
