My second assignment was a lot of fun. I decided to do the 60-second day video and chose to do it on a Wednesday because that is when The Blue & Gray Press is made. The newspaper takes up my entire day for the most part and that is definitely reflected in this video where […]

This assignment was really fun! I was browsing the video assignment bank when I saw it. I immediately started asking my friends around me for words. I didn’t tell them what it was for so I could make it better. It actually came out as a small story, which I was impressed! The hardest part […]

Grant Potter’s ds106 bumper inspired by The Wire is not only awesome, it also captures a brilliant moment when you get a sense how confined Bodie Broadus’s world is. He thinks the radio is going out, but the fact is … Continue reading →

This shot is staged in a visually interesting way. There’s the car and the tree on either side of the shot and the door in the background behind the two people. I also enjoy that the trashcan says “Believe.” Herc usually appears as a big guy, but he looks rather … Continue reading

This assignment was pretty easy. The hardest part was deciding what to take video of. All I did was download the app on my iPhone, set up an account, and record! I then uploaded it straight to twitter and embedded the tweet into this blog post! https:/...

I did today’s Daily Create, which was to take an experimental water photo. I didn’t have an puddles on hand, so I dug this gem up from five years ago.

Snoop I’m really digging Snoop thus far. I’m very intrigued as to her story. She’s the kind of character that I’d love to see pop up in Orange Is the New Black. I love all the colors in the background. She looks like a spider, a black widow luring in an … Continue reading

For today’s daily create, I had to write a smart alec’s version of a haiku. I hadn’t done a haiku in years, and decided to make a joke about how outdated it feels. Of course, the joke is on me, as I had to write in cursive just a while ago for the GRE test. […]

Today’s TDC required the creation of a haiku. Instead of writing it in the traditional 5/7/5 format I followed the creator’s example of 4/5/4. My current situation is “The Struggle is So Real” so I used that status as the driving motivation for my haiku which can be found here.

For my first assignment I chose the “name that book” assignment. I used Vine to create three images that correspond with the three main words of a book title as follows: The _____ of _____ ______. It was easy to make and fun to think of ways to express the book title. Good luck figuring […]

Original Scene from The Wire I found the That Bleeping Censor Assignment, and I really wanted to do it. I of course immediately thought of the scene from season 1 of The Wire, where McNulty and Bunk are investigating an old crime scene, and the only phrases they say the whole scene are “fuck,” “mother fucker,” […]

I just want to read With a sweater and hot tea. Done with school for now. I did today’s daily create on making a smart alec haiku and had a little fun with it. It was easy to write because it is exactly how I am feeling as the semester gets even harder.

The above GIF is from an episode of The Wire from Season 2. The docks are ubiquitous in season 2, and this particular image is a visualization of a cloned machine that captures the vanishing container—presumably filled with illegal cargo. … Continue reading →

I love these minimalist shots toward the beginning of the episode at the crime scene.   The empty chair and the fact that we don’t see the part of the room where Stringer usually stood are great insights into the grief and sense of loss hitting the Barksdale crew. I … Continue reading

The tweet along between commentators George Pelecanos and Joe Chappelle from S03E11 of The Wire. This episode was climactic for several reasons.    This was one of the major climactic episodes where one of  The Wire’s major characters Stringer Bell is killed.  However, not only for this climactic moment was I intrigued by the commentary but …

Martin Buber once said, “An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” Well that’s a valid statement...

We had some confused ds106 beavers for the Daily Create who needed some captioning help.  Here’s my rendition, done in MSPaint:

Bill Cosby once said, “Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing.” Well to my...

For one of my Video Assignment the first Video Assignment that I have decided to do is the “This is My Story” assignment. You can check out this assignment here “This is My Story“. For this assignment I decided to talk about how one day I pulled a muscle. I wrote out my story first […]

This was such a great shootout set-up with a twist ending. Very Omar. I should have been more cognizant of the fact that it’s episode 11 and it was a quote from Stringer. These patterns matter. I like how brightly lit the room is as well as how light colored … Continue reading

The first Daily Create that I did this week was the “Caption This”. For this Daily Create I had to Caption this photo or do a creative edit on it. I saw that a lot of people put captions on there picture so I decided to dress up my beavers give them so accessories to […]

11/3/14: TDC1030- Caption it!

This is my Survival Video. I was pretty nervous when I did this video. I did make a few  mistake when I talked about who this video was for which is Cousin I said that the video would be for my cousins when they finish college I actually meant to say when they finish high […]

This was another great week in ds106. When I first saw that it was video week I almost panicked. I didn’t know what to expect other than a lot of

For my second in[SPIRE] post I decided to post Barefoot Brittany’s video to the wall. I loved every second of her video and I came to realize that we have

For my first in[SPIRE] of the week I decided to post this Where Are They Now post to the wall. I found this piece inspirational because of the colors and

For my second daily create I decided to do the Sleepy Shot daily create. It didn’t take much to create my picture. I simply laid down in my bed closed

For my third video assignment I decided to change it up a little bit. I did the assignment called Where Do You Want To Go (3 stars). The original version

For my second video assignment I decided to do the Today It’s All About Me assignment (3 stars). When I first saw the assignment and its description, I automatically thought
