For our final project we are supposed to create a story through four different medias. I am thinking of keeping the same theme I have talked about with my character. While I probably won’t incorporate my character, I am going to write about a love story. A story about a man and woman who weren’t … Continue reading "Final Paper Progress"

For this assignment, I went back to the which ds106 character are you quiz I made for buzzfeed a few weeks ago and incorporated vastly more characters and questions. I created a spread sheet with all the characters, their descriptions for the outcomes, and their answers to the various questions. I hit a hiccup when […]

What would Merrill be interested in if he was given access to the internet? Well, I don’t know that Pinterest would be the first place he would end up, but if he did, I have created a Pinterest board that is his style. I just thought of things that he would be interested in, given […]

This week was the worst week when it came to stress and schoolwork, because professors want to have every group assignment/15 page essays

Every time that I am inclined to do so, I am amazed, or maybe appalled, at what the internet has become. Instead, in this case, of coming across tumblr or 4chan, there was a few pleasant surprises. I did not complete all the assignments that I found interesting, but I did acquire a few more […]

This assignment is to, using google translate, find something that does not translate well across languages and give some thought to it. Given the western theme of the class, I thought I might take it just a step further, and since many western saying are idioms, mix them up and see what I come out […]

The penultimate week is now over! I used the web and all of its tools this week to create our own stories, starting off with Storytelling Within the Web, where I edited the code of a webpage to change the narrative and purpose. Next, I told a story on an Amazon item for Three Moon … Continue reading Week 13 Summary

In this 2 star assignment, I had to find a website that was in a foreign language and laugh at how awful the

I really liked the change up in assignments. I have never created something like the website mash up before. I

In this assignment, you use Google Maps to tell a story, whether it is historical, or something you personally experienced. I used Google maps to show my visit to Seattle, WA, which I did to watch The International, a multi-million dollar tournament for Dota 2. This was 2 years ago, and at the time, it was … Continue reading Web Assignment – Google Map Trip

In this assignment I had to use a Mozilla Firefox tool called X-Ray Goggles to edit a copy of a webpage’s html coding.

Week 13 brought about the web. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I guess the creativity came out of using web applications to produce stories and ideas. I guess, at least to me, it’s difficult to define this medium. I started out the week by completing a story using x-ray goggles. The Web … Continue reading "Week 13 Summary"

Original text: 根據72分局消息稱，6日上午7時50分，一名年僅15歲的女子在乘坐地鐵R車時被一名亞裔變態男性侵，根據受害人口供表示，案發時R車正行駛至4大道交36街，突然坐在女子身邊的一名年約20歲的亞裔男子開始偷摸受害人大腿和後背。受害人驚慌之下在Dekalb大道站逃出地鐵，但是該變態男竟仍不放棄，尾隨該女子一同走出地鐵，並繼續揉搓受害者後背，直至女子逃出地鐵站，男子便慌忙之下逃離現場。 For this assignment, I simply looked up a Chinese news article and took a section out of it to be plugged into google translate. The resulting translation did not make much sense to say the least. According to news that the branch 72 , at 7:50 on the 6th , a 15 … Continue reading "Web Assignments – Google Translate Fail"

For this assignment, I decided to base the story on Merrill Shale having sold his wagon and upgraded after he started raking in poker winnings. I originally tried with both Autotrader and Ebay motors, but the code was seemingly too sophisticated for X-ray googles, so I went to craigslist instead, which turned out to be […]

I found this assignment extremely interesting. The first part of the assignment asked us to think about open source tools: Count the number of open source programs you are using on your computer today. How many commercial software programs could be replaced with free and open source alternatives. I counted 4 commercial products on my … Continue reading "Web Assignments – Privacy on the Web"

I created an email advertising for tourism in Tombstone, Arizona, a town I’ve used a couple times in past assignments. This assignment uses the website Vertical Response to create this ad, and actually allows you to send it out to people, but a) I didn’t have emails to send it to, and b) I don’t … Continue reading Web Assignment – Email!

https://thimbleprojects.org/aslupek/54892/   I really struggled getting this assignment to work the way I wanted it to.  I intended to make a page with a baseball card being sold of myself.

I’m gonna admit, I used a friends pinterest account to gain access to their website. This is because I’m tired of creating all these darn accounts and trying to keep up with them. I’m a simple person, and I guess this can be conveyed into my dream room. I screen shot each image I found … Continue reading "Web Assignments – Create Your Own Room"

  This is the Webpage for Andy the Bankrobber.   This was difficult to get a clear image of my created webpage.

  This is the trip that Andy the bank robber took to rob three banks in the west. He began his trip with the Bank of Denver, then he traveled to the Bank of Albuquerque, then the Bank of Arizona.  These banks allowed for him to collect over $500,000.   This assignment required me to […]

This these are the three accounts that Andy the Bank Robber on the internet. This assignment was difficult in making sure that they all have similar connections to each other and were able to reflect a character from a time period before there was an...

This assignment has you create a story using an Amazon review. To find a product to review, I used the Random Amazon Product website, searching until I found something interesting enough. I ended up with this adjustable tree pruner, and it looked like a weapon to me, so I made up a fake review posing … Continue reading Web Assignment – Three Moon Wolf Stories

Well this week certainly was a roller coaster. Being a web week made it so much fun for me. I especially love that I get to find new web tools like some of the ones I used for assignments and play around with them for a little bit. I did 10.5 stars worth of assignments […]
