Final Project – The Making of Stuck in the Gutter of Boredom This is the story of Neil Stewart, an eighteen-year-old gas station clerk in the small town of Greenhill, where the hills are in fact not green but brown. For both the Red Hound Poster and Newsletter, I started with blank pages in Canva. They […]

Final Project – Stuck in the Gutter of Boredom This is yet another normal, boring day for Neil. Sitting in the gas station, sipping on something he grabbed from the back room that didn’t have a large sticker on it, and listening to the rain outside. It’s just Greenhill’s Red Hound Gas Station. Nothing ever happens […]

Weekly Summary Week 4 So we’ve reached the end of yet another week in our time here on this blog. It’s been a fun ride, I guess? Four weeks of four different mediums of representation on the digital space and four weeks of adventure. This week went by faster than the rest. Firstly, I had […]

Video Assignment Week 4 – # 1 What Do You Love?    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/what-do-you-love/ Number of Stars:  This is called pure self-indulgence. I love my puppy, wow, it’s just that I love him enough to take hundred of photos of him. I know I’ll probably regret it later on, but I just love him so much. […]

Comments for Week Four. I made my first comment on this blog. The video was adorable and felt like a video one might see on a college website encouraging students to attend the school. The second comment I made on this blog post. It was a very amazing travel guide and I felt excited to […]

Daily Create Week 4 – # 4 Try Not To Scream When You Read Today’s Daily Create! #ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1986 I don’t know, therefore I don’t know. pic.twitter.com/Pgo90JgqZF — De. Norman (@de_normal1) June 17, 2017 http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1986/ I don’t even. Don’t click on things on the Internet. It’s just weird and strange. I just did a […]

Summary of Reading Movies. As I began reading the article written by Roger Ebert, I felt as if this would be a pretentious person talking about movies the way English teachers talk about symbolism or metaphors. They find meaning where there is none and attempt to make a bigger deal about the topic than anyone […]

Look, Listen, and Analyze. I chose to look, listen, and analyze Ocean’s Twelve “Oh He’s Mean” Scene. First, I looked at the video with the volume off. The camera is weirdly aimed at the person in bed as if we the audience were keeping this man company. The transition is tough when he turns on the light […]

Daily Create Week 4 – # 3 Surrealistic Bridge Poster #tdc1985 #ds106dc #ds106 The world is filled with impossibilities but for a mermaid in love, she would create anything absurd. 🧜🏽‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/ZVXKnzCLFN — De. Norman (@de_normal1) June 16, 2017 http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1985/ I love and hate paradoxes. They make me angry but happy. They make me feel like a […]

Daily Create Week 4 – # 2 I Am Nervous #ds106 #ds106dc #tdc1984 Ha, ha, don’t you mean my state of existence every day of my life. 🥔🤪 pic.twitter.com/JJvh25TRuz — De. Norman (@de_normal1) June 15, 2017 http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1984/ All I could think of was a potato. Because it is true, I am a nervous potato at […]

Video Assignment Week 4 – # 2 Lyric Video Snippet   http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/lyric-video-snippet/ You can find the lyric cards that I used here: https://www.canva.com/de_norm. I decided to take Hasley’s Castle (Huntsman Version) and turn it into a music video. Firstly, I needed to acquire the song and converted the lyrical video available online into a mp3 using […]

Daily Create Week 4 – # 1 Panorama clone yourself #tdc1983 #ds106 #ds106dc Why have multiple me, when we can have multiple puppies (I just did this today before I saw this.) 🐶🐕🐩 pic.twitter.com/4p8OyaIkC4 — De. Norman (@de_normal1) June 14, 2017 http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1983/   Yeah, I’m not taking any more selfies, plus, who doesn’t want to […]

Weekly Summary Week 3 Welcome to the end of Week Three. Not the most interesting week besides having time to play a video game and fix my messed up gifs. I did get to go to my sister’s high school to watch her get about a dozen scholarships and, for the first time, none of […]

Comments of Week 3 Guess who knows how to make comments on things? This little alien that is me. Yes, I am pretty sure this week is Mass Effect themed. I only played it once this week, and I’ve only finished the first one. (Got really scared to do the Suicide Mission and still haven’t […]

Summary of TED Radio Hour and ScottLo. For the ScottLo Episodes, I listened to the first one. At first, I thought this would be a parody of some sort as he began, especially with how bored and unsure he sounded. In comparison to what Ida Glass talks about, I felt as if he did not have […]

Week 3 Reading – Moon Graffiti  As this audio journey began, I was sucked into the time of Neil and Bud, sitting right behind them on the ship in space, wondering what was wrong. Everything felt enclosed, as if I couldn’t move and really might not want to. Then, in a snap, I landed back […]
