Huzzah! I made it to the end of Week 2 in ds106 and compared to where I was at the end of week 1 I’ve come a long long way. If I was to grade myself on last week I would give myself a D maybe a D+ or C- …
So today’s daily create was to make a photo to represent the friendship we want to have with @iamtalkytina so that’s just what I did – hope she likes it.
So this is kind of a working post because there is a lot more I need to learn about Creative Commons than I know right now, but I needed to get what little knowledge I have in my brain down on the blog. As I learn more about this I …
So, long time listener first time blogger about Scottlo (kidding, he’s only had 14 for the ds106zone and I’ve been kind of bad at keeping up with it.) So anyways, I usually listen to Scottlo while I’m at work which is a nice break, except for a few of them …
So I needed one more star to finish my audio assignments for the week and it had to be related to The Twilight Zone. I was looking around at the 1 star assignments not really finding any that I could relate to the show that well and finally ended …
So this week Jim asked us to go on a “Design Safari” to learn more about the concepts of design that DS106 encompasses. Below are my four examples of: form/function, unity, typography, and color.
I found my design elements and #designblitz images around where I live in Arlington, Virginia. At …
So I based this audio assignment off of The Twilight Zone episode “The Midnight Sun.” The assignment was to create a fake 911 call which I did by myself on garageband. The actors are a skeptical operator and a victim of the midnight sun’s heat.
It’s pretty silly but probably …
So this assignment was called “Taking Back Spam” and it was pretty simple: to find a piece of spam and read it out loud in our own way. I added a little extra sentence at the beginning to convey my own feelings about the spammers and what it sounds like …
Well this was kind of an embarrassing/funny assignment to do – I recorded myself singing the same opening verse, from Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah” 4 times. I sang pretty much the same all four times (I’m no musical harmonizing sensation) but on one of the tracks I used the ‘deeper vocals’ …
So this assignment was called “The contest nobody could win” and we had to take 6 audio sound clips less than one second each. So here are six song clips, some are pretty easy to guess but let’s see if you can guess all six??
hint: they all have to …
So for this assignment we were supposed to record a journal entry we wrote as a teenager (I was 19) and really capture the mood of it through effects.
I recorded my entry on Garage Band, I’m and audio noob so I didn’t do anythign too fancy but I …
So in The Twilight Zone episode “The Midnight Sun” Mrs. Bronson goes completely cray because of the sweltering heat. She takes one of Norma’s paintings of a waterfall claiming she can hear it and presses herself on to it.
This assignment was to create a “bird call” for someone and, …
So for this assignment we were supposed to download something that was normally autotuned and autotune it, I decided to choose a clip from The Twilight Zone episode “Time Enough at Last”
It was actually really boring autotuned and you couldn’t tell it was autotuned really at all except in …
So today’s dailycreate was to “Post an authentic sounding comment to the Coursera blog as a fictitious, MOOC loving student.” I posted a comment from the voice of a “frustrated freshmen:”
“I hate having to go to class! My professors are sooooooo boring and it’s so annoying have to walk …
So for this post I decided to focus on the Twilight episode “The Eye of the Beholder.” Which is the first Twilight episode I ever saw…it’s also the creepiest I’ve seen to date.
Anyways, for this design assignment we were supposed to “Seussify” an episode from The Twilight Zone. …
Today’s daily create was to write a story from the point of view of our favorite food, but not say what it is! Here’s mine can you guess what it is?
“I hear a waterfall and the bubble of a fish tank. Ugh I’m being rolled around, I feel dizzy …
So for this assignment we were supposed to take the cover of a well-known book and re-design the cover to give off an entirely different meaning – soooo basically an awesome assignment creatively.
After some brainstorming and some giggling to myself I came up with this:
I got the image …
So for this assignment we had to choose a word and express what it meant all in one type face and here’s what I did:
Figure it out? Pretty random, huh?
Difficulty: 2 stars
Disclaimer: This isn’t animating correctly, but I’m working on it……
So I decided to try out the “animate a movie poster” assignment, which basically, based on the title, is self-explanatory. So, this is titled “The Great Womp” for two reasons 1. I wanted to do The Great Gatsby and 2. …
So, I decided to base another one of my assignments on a Twilight Zone episode. I again based it on, The Midnight Sun, but only because it was really appropriate for the assignment, in my opinion. I promise I’ll vary it up for my next Twilight Zone related assignments …
Since I have the luxury of Netflix at my disposal it’s very easy, and enjoyable, for me to watch all of The Twilight Zone episodes. Today I watched “Time Enough At Last” as well as “The Midnight Sun.” I didn’t watch “The Eye of the Beholder,” because I’ve already seen …

Somehow I deleted my invaders gif post and it wasn’t in the trash anymore, so here it is up again!
So I finally made my “Twilight Zone” Gif! Based it on the episode “The Invaders.” The gif I chose was when the main character hears the sound from up in …

So I watch this show on Showtime, well it used to be on Showtime, it’s over now, called Weeds. The main character, Nancy Botwin, is notorious for chewing on straws so I created this little gif of her chewing on one. It’s not that great but I thought it captured …
