Here is an audio that inspired me. You can locate the original here. I absolutely love how this was done! One person did the whole thing, it is inspiring what you can do with just your voice. Here Frank and...

I was really impressed by The Baltimore New Radio show. The music, well researched facts, and news stories made it seem like an actual news show. I love how they merged the truth and fiction throughout the show as this is very much what The Wire is–a realistic representation of a … Continue reading

Let me just say: I REALLY enjoyed listening in on the WMAD Radio Show and Discussion. I had a few problems in the beginning getting everything set up, but it all ended up working out in the end. The group… Continue Reading →

Today’s daily create required us to delve deep into our inner child (laugh) and create a winter picture.  I choose to Google a card template and to decorate it.   I drew a little snowman and added some winter song lyrics.   I think that this tdc was pretty creative because it required you to think …

I tuned in to ds106 radio tonight to listen to the members of WMAD radio discuss the central theme of corruption in The Wire. To support their topic, they bring up moments and characters from the show including the Baltimore PD, the Barksdale crew, and Sobotka’s dealings with The Greek. Production-wise, there were lots of […]

Today’s TDC was a drawing challenge. To my surprise I was required to do a winter drawing. ? Why are we rushing the frigid cold? Anyways my favorite image of Christmas that everyone is obligated to deal with, regardless of the Caribbean scene that they may rather enjoy are snowflakes. Besides everyone chose to highlight […]

We have arrived! Our radio show has been launched and for the most part we are satisfied with our finished product. Our hopes as a group is that BWRS will bring you all 25 minutes of enjoyment.

Of all the amazing moments in The Wire, possibly my all time favorite is Bunny Colvin’s a paper bag speech which sets the stage for legalizing drugs in Hamsterdam during season 3. So when Paul Bond took this monologue and … Continue reading →

For today’s daily create, a winter drawing was created. What says winter more than a reindeer in some snow! Personally, I am not ready for winter to come! I do not enjoy the snow, so I had to think of something happy about winter. Of course, Rudolph came to mind so that is what I did to make winter coming a

TDC 1019: Make a Winter Drawing

This week we had to look at the works that our classmates did that inspired us. A lot of the works that I was going to post, were posted by other people, (they beat me to it!!) but that was alright since I have definitely been inspired by more! It was also really nice to […]

Today’s daily create is titled “Make a Winter Drawing”. Believe it or not, this was my favorite thing to do when i was little. I would draw pages and pages of snowflakes, snowmen, and the occasional Christmas tree. This was pretty fun and brought back all these memories. Since Winter IS really coming, i’m getting […]

Inspiration Three The reason I chose this piece is because of the amount of contrast. There were obviously contrasts in the colors of the photos themselves, but also in the viewpoints. Some are scenes with the Sobotkas, some are with Stringer and Avon, and some are with the homicide unit. It also covers many of the important […]

Inspiration Two   I loved this assignment! I actually commented on it when it first came out. I think it’s awesome how Jessica used the stuff we are learning in DS106 to create something completely unrelated to the things we talk about. I also enjoy it because it was made with an online program. It […]

In this installment of the ongoing video discussions, Paul and I were joined by Syd Bauman and Travis Peed for a really stimulating and far-ranging conversation on season 3, episode 6 of the The Wire: “Homecoming.”  Travis and Syd came with their A-Game, and … Continue reading →

“The Baltimore Wire Radio Show”  brought to you by Kisha, Desa, & Melinda     That pesky Sound Cloud was giving us a hard time regarding copyright regulations so I’m posting our show on my blog for now until we … Continue reading →

This week was inspiration week and I really liked it because it gave us the time to think and reflect on everyone’s work. Everyone in the class has done such awesome and clever work and I was happy to have the time to look through it all. We had to post three assignments we were […]

For my second daily create this week I made my dream snowman for the make a winter drawing assignment. I will make it one day and I have high hopes for it!

With the beginning of week 9 here at UMW, we’ve officially crossed over the half way mark for the semester. The wire106 internauts have been amazing, they’ve published more than 1400 posts so far and created six original radio shows … Continue reading →

Inspiration One I was very inspired by this photo because I felt like it had a message.  The book Gone Girl is a sort of dark, thrilling read. You can really get the feeling of reading the book by looking at this picture. The only source of light in the picture is the candle. The way the […]

For today’s Daily Create, I had to draw a winter scene.

Today’s Daily Create- Make a Winter Drawing

I really enjoyed The WireBuyers radio show. It was very interesting right from the start. I feel as if someone came in and was listening they would have been totally

The third piece of work that I posted to the in[SPIRE] page was this book cover created by Jeremy. I was inspired by Omar and his scar in this picture.

The second piece of work that I posted to the in[SPIRE] page was this great venn diagram made by kmahone247. The reason I decided to post this to the in[SPIRE]

The first piece of work that I posted to the in[SPIRE] page was this lovely logo created by Lauren Brumfield. The reason i posted this to the in[SPIRE] page is

What I thought was going to be straight up serious news on DS106 radio, turned out to be a dark comedy about topics that would actually show up on the news. I love how Meredith was consistently the radio host since that gave us a anchor point to go back to after the different news […]

On Wednesday at 8:30pm, i tuned into DS 106 Radio. I wasn’t sure what to expect. The directions for our radio show were very vague. For our group, we did a radio talk show. This didn’t mean EVERY group did. I realized this once i listened on the “Wirebuyers” radio. When i first tuned in, […]

One of Blindside Archive’s assignments inspired me after I decided what assignment I wanted to work on. I saw the assignment Row Row Polyphony and thought it would be an interesting thing to complete. However, I was slightly baffled as to how and what I wanted to do for the song to have it overlap […]
