Week one of DS106 and I am slightly overwhelmed with the amount of work it seems to be. Setting up each account was kind of a pain because I wanted new accounts specifically for this class, and navigating new sites like Flickr and Soundcloud were more time consuming than I thought they would be. Luckily, … Continue reading First Impressions

I was riding through a field when I thought about a year prior when we were warming up at a three-day event. This picture illustrates what it was I saw while at the event. The memories are so fresh in my mind that they start to come into focus.

Found this picture that was taken of me at an event over the summer. My horse and I were outside the jump ring awaiting our turn. I had looked at the jump course earlier that day and had walked it when the ring was open for walking the course. I am not sure whether or …

For my multimodal introduction I decided to use each platform for the different words of introducing myself. On Twitter I simply searched for a gif using the key word “hi”. Then I went about recording my first audio clip on Soundcloud. I downloaded GarageBand and recored my less-than-one-second clip of me saying “my name” and … Continue reading This Post is Busier Than a Bee

While procrastinating and realizing the week is almost over and I have only completed one daily create *shrieks*  I decided I must complete today’s task… and I had no inspiration. While looking at other people’s replies I realized, I want to crop something out of one picture and paste it onto another, but I don’t … Continue reading Hats off to You

University of Mary Washington class of 2017, taking DGST as my final course at the university. I served as … Continue reading Who am I →

This is my second attempt to create blog for Digital Storytelling. At least I’m learning a great deal. I have had fun stretching my comfort zone by using twitter, flicker and now a blog. Great stuff! Over the next 4 weeks I will attempt to […]

I really like pixel art, but I’m no pro. I decided to do 256 Points anyway. I used to spend a lot of time editing Pokemon sprites and making Frankenstein’s monster-esque trainers and Pokemon, but I thought I’d stick with today’s theme and go Animal Crossing. So here’s my boy Bob the cat.   Here … Continue reading Back to your roots, Bob

Someone’s been into Erik’s house and messed with all his stuff. They left a letter saying six things were changed, but in reality, they changed seven things just to drive him crazy. I wonder what he did that made him deserve such a thing. This is another one I’m particularly happy about because the only … Continue reading We Amélie the guy

It’s my very first post! I’m so ecstatic to begin this course and learn about using technology creatively and effectively. I will be running a Pinterest in addition to keeping up with the other sites involved in the course, since it is one of the few social media sites I can use capably. I have […]

For my second visual assignment, I chose to do “What a Crappy Font Will Do” not just because the title made me chuckle, but because I do get some sick kicks out of seeing serious companies use comic sans or papyrus. It’s always spas that use papyrus. What’s up with that? Here’s the first of two … Continue reading Would you buy this paper? Or join this hoity toity community?

Daily Create Week 1 – # 2 Three Wishes http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1962/ Twitter Link Reply If I could have three wishes, what would I wish for? Huh. That’s been a question since elementary school. Back then we gave simple answers, like lots of cheese. Now with the world, as it is, though, the first wish would be […]

This one took a long time, both in choosing my wishes and in cobbling them together.

Tuesday’s Daily Create asked that we talk about our favorite childhood toy and post a picture if we still had it. I was (and still am) one of those people who can’t look into the eyes of a stuffed animal without knowing in my heart that they’re alive and have souls, so I have had … Continue reading I stole my favorite childhood toy.
