    Visual Assignment II — The Most Important One!!!

    by
      I have attempted to contact the good doctor on the ds106 minecraft server, but to no avail.  My attempts to detect any human-controlled mobs failed due to server settings, and I had to battle a spider in hand to hand combat.  My journey will now take me south of Giruvegan, far more to the ...

    by
    There were many other things discussed in today’s video from the good doctor, but I’ve choosen a few that stood out to me, and I decided to express my opinion(s) of them.  This shall, unless directed otherwise by the CMs, be the way in which I respond to the good doctor’s videos.

    Blog Experiment — Post II

    by
    Looks like I got Twitter Tools working sufficiently.  Now I’m just fishing through my settings, looking for a way to widen my side bar.  Two of the items break through the right margin of it.  Do I think it will do any harm?  Not really.  It’s just aesthetically annoying. As for the good doctor’s video, ...

    by
    So, let’s get into my blog customizing experience…Cue “More” tag below: The Akismet spam protection:  Done.  Just select a personal account and drag the slider over to $0.00.   They email you the code.

    I just had to change the passwords of EVERY service I signed up for for this class because I misplaced my password sheet. Hopefully, it’s sitting around here somewhere and not in the hands of some idiot.

    My Responses to Campbell and Wesch

    by
    Let’s keep the format simple and the responses succinct. (Post-Writing Comment):  Okay, I lied.  Sue me. Campbell’s essay: Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  And no, not in that way… Campbell’s essay: The idea of letting students build their own cyber-infrastructures — roadways between their Facebooks, Flickrs, Twitters, and all their other externally hosted pages — and connecting ...

    Response to Dr. Oblivion’s Intro.

    by
    Being an introvert, I’m not really driven to share myself with total strangers, especially ones that can fabricate a persona with the tools that I’m using to broadcast myself.  Nevertheless, some of the activities the good doctor mentioned seemed fun, and the course syllabus outlines a few topics that really take up a lot of ...

    My First Animated GIFs

    by
    This one was from Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22:  You Can (Not) Advance.  It didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. This one, however, turned out beautifully.   It’s Sasuke from Naruto Shippuden using Amaterasu on Madara Uchiha.  It wasn’t his intent, though:  His brother planted that in his eye for a one-time shot. They’re ...
