For the second assignment of the week, I decided to do one where I take a song, reverse it, and take a small snippet (30 seconds), and see if someone can guess what song it is! My thinking was to choose a song the has very level high and low peaks. That way, if it …

For this summary, I listened to “Moon Graffiti” on Soundcloud. Right away, the audio starts out with futuristic beeps that put the listener right into the universe of the story. The introduction to the story is interspersed with static, and … Continue reading →

The final post of the day! Huzzah!!! For today’s audio reflection, I finally listened to “Moon Graffiti” and oh boy, I loved it. For those of you who don’t know, I love space…I love watching live streams from a satellite, stars, space robot battles and the such. I wasn’t too sure what to expect with “Moon Graffiti” however. The beginning…

Oh yeah! I was born to type with comic sans… Today’s daily create was the design a doctorate degree of some sort for the DS106 program and I think I did a freakin’ phenomenal job if I do say so myself. #ds106 #tdc2011 comic sans is honestly appropriate for all occassions; can i be a doctor now? pic.twitter.com/uPf39PBzoQ — Taylor…

Oh jeez, hello! Today has been incredibly crazy but I was able to make some time to record a special audio assignment today: A song that means something to you. As soon as I read the assignment details, I immediately wrote it down for the week and I’m so excited to share it with you all. Please keep in mind…

My bed isn’t like the one in the front room. My bed sits on a metal frame with tiny plastic wheels that carve into the pale blue carpet of my shared bedroom that faces the backyard. Breezes drift through my open window, carrying the fresh scent of young green leaves which does little to dispel …

For today’s summary, I’m going to talk about audio storytelling references from TED Radio Hour and ScottLo! – TED RADIO HOUR – This audio clip talks primarily about a woman and MIT professor named Sherry Terkle (Lord, I hope that’s spelled right…) and her life up until the point where she was asked to…
