This video is a supercut of all the mentions of “the game” from season 1 of The Wire. It’s pretty amazing what John Johnston is doing with the software he found that automatically creates supercuts from video files based on … Continue reading →

This week was focused on inspiration and reflection on the radio shows. Everyone did such a great job on their radio shows, I was so impressed! Unfortunately, I was unable to live tweet about one, so instead I did two more inspire post   The Wire Episode 5- Avon is out of jail! Avon got released on parole, but he

Here is another design assignment that inspired me. You can locate the original here. This inspired me because if you have seen The Wire, you can clearly tell that this is the Greek. He is perfect to put a barcode on because ‘everything is always business’ to him. The way this assignment was executed was perfect. The barcode is placed

Today’s daily create: What would I change about my past? Hoo boy, one of these kinds of posts! Who doesn’t have moments where they look back and wish they could change how things happened? Still, in the grand scheme of things, my decision of what to change seems relatively minor compared to some of the […]

DSTW 76.5 was such a great radio show! It was well put together and a lot of effort was apparent. I love how you guys played different characters! The news theme was great, very accurate of what happens in Baltimore. They did a great job summarizing main events in The Wire from crime, drugs, murders, Avon, and the docks. The

This week, I was introduced to the existence of a site filled with works of fellow ds106ers that inspired people to keep on creating art. I enjoyed the concept, and have to give kudos to whoever created the site. It’s a great way to share our favorites, and bring some recognition to the artist.  That […]

I was inspired by so many of the student radio programs, they were amazing. But that’s fodder for a whole ‘nother series of posts. For now I want to focus on one commercial from the brilliantly conceived and executed WireBuyers … Continue reading →

Yet another inspired work from ds106 this week, this one from Mariana Funes. What I like about this work is that it was itself inspired by Kris Hooks’s suggestion that I looked like I was doing the Vulcan Mindmeld in … Continue reading →

Today’s Daily Create was to imagine you get a pass to go back in your life and change something or do it differently. Being very college-focused right now has also gotten me thinking about my previous college life when I earned my first Bachelor’s degree a million years ago.  I goofed off a lot and […]

This is a minifig I bought many years ago. Because of ds106, I now know where the inspiration comes from.

Last TDC of the week completed with no time to spare. I’m not sure if I dropped the ball on this one but this was the first thing to come to mind when I saw those 30 circles that I would be responsible for filling. So Welcome Class of 2014 DS106 and Wired game players!

So here are 30 Doodles from today’s TDC. I rather enjoyed doing this one. Each one is meant to be a series (going down). 1. Add one line and increment for each circle. 2. Draw a circle then increment for each circle. 3. Draw a square then increment for each circle. 4. Draw a triangle […]

Today’s Daily Create was the Thirty Circle Challenge.  I had heard of this before as a creative workshop exercise and also as an icebreaker at seminars, but this was my first experience doing it.  Starts out easy, and if you’re in the groove, you can knock ‘em out.  I got interrupted and stalled, but was […]

I did today’s daily create, which was to complete the thirty circle challenge.  

For today’s daily create, I took the 30 circle challenge. This was actually harder than I expected. I started to run out of ideas towards the end, despite the fact there are so many options! After I finished, so many idea came to mind.

I love what Ien harris did with the create a cartridge cover for an Atari 2600 game assignment. How can I refuse an 8-bit game based on The Wire? Makes me want to learn how to code these old school games so I … Continue reading →

I really enjoyed this week. Getting to reflect on what others have done (and what we have done) was really nice. It was a good community-building week. I wish I had more time to go through my classmates’ posts and see what they have been up to,  but unfortunately I don’t. :/ It was nice […]

I did today’s daily create. This might be the earliest I have ever completed one. I also took my time doing it–mostly because I was procrastinating writing a paper >.< I decided to draw things that I liked or that described me. I struggled to think of that many things that I liked so some […]
