Creating a set on flickr was a bit confusing because of how outdated the tutorial was but I was able to figure it out quickly. I chose the five best photos I had uploaded. I tried downloading a plugin to allow the set itself to be embedded on this post but it refused to work […]

I must admit, I had a lot of fun doing this assignment. I got to be creative with some of the photos I took for this assignment, and I’m pretty satisfied with myself with the photos I obtained. All the photos I took were based in my room and some parts of my dorm. I […]

Hey guys! While on my way to street hockey today, I thought to myself, hey, it’s beautiful out and there’s a lot of things going on that makes life the beautiful thing it is. I recorded some sounds from nature and other such commotions outside while on my walk towards hockey. Enjoy!

I apologize for my very very poor artistic skills, but this is what I think Professor Polack looks like!

I was born and raised from Northern Virginia, and I became accustomed to this radio station. I turned it on today and I heard a local traffic report and the station playing the song “Black Widow” by Iggy Azalea. This station is known to play a lot of popular, mainstream songs, which sometimes they play […]

This week was pretty eventful to say the least. I learned a lot, especially in terms of audio and radio. I started out by listening to Ira Glass’ video and I thought that was very motivational. He put […]

For my two audio assignments, I decided to do the Car Chase Commentary (3.5 stars) and my attempt on Weather Imitations using only sound effects and things within arm’s reach of myself. Here is the video I used for the Car Chase Commentary (there’s some comms in the background of the video, so I suggest muting […]

The daily creates this week were pretty fun I must say. I started off this week by taking a picture of a stranger, who introduced himself as Devin, and he happened to be a classmate in my Math 471 class. He gracefully accepted my request to take a picture him, and I began to start a […]

For the listening to stories assignment, I decided to choose the “Talking to Machines” one because out of all the options available, this one intrigued me the most. I definitely recommend a listen to this because it covers a lot of interesting topics. They start off by interviewing a man named Dr. Robert Epstein, who […]

I don't know about the other listeners, but I think we could do better with the music selection here. #ds106radio — Kevin Le (@solidsnake487) September 21, 2014 I tuned onto the DS106 radio today, along with about 12-15 other listeners, and right away, I was disappointed with the music selection. I was hoping they would […]

Ira Glass and Jad Abumrad covered a lot of topics in such short amount of time. Ira Glass begins by describing the building blocks of audio, which are anecdotes and moment of reflection. Anecdotes are basically used to enlighten boring stories into something much more vibrant and interesting. Also, they can are meant to constantly raise questions and answer […]

Sorry this is so short, I had to capture some quick footage before my phone died.

Here’s Ryu, my family’s German Shepherd, gracefully relaxing on his throne. (Sorry I posted this yesterday but somehow the post did not become official, so if it’s okay, I am going to repost this today.)

This is Devin, a classmate in my Math 471 (Real Analysis 1) class. He has been sitting next to me each class day this semester so far and I questioned myself on why I haven’t introduced myself to him yet. He told me that he loves playing ultimate frisbee, and is on the UMW club […]

However, this taught me how to be creative with myself and how to think […]

Morton Schmidt and Greg Jenko are former classmates in high school who meet again at a police academy, as they both attempt to become police officers. Schmidt was a nerd in school while Jenko was a jock. They end up becoming friends at the academy as they help with each others’ weaknesses in the program […]

Sometimes, I really love Sleeping because it makes me feel all Zesty and alive when I wake up Scintillating I know Since it is one of my favorite things to do, which is Sleep.

For any of you guys that are stressed over studying or just bored in general!

As I am navigating through the in[SPIRE] page, I was aiming for something I thought I found humorous and somewhat clever/witty. I was intrigued by a post called “iPad in the fridge” by Kevin Shavalay, and it made me laugh right away once I saw the picture that was attached to this post. Not only does it provide […]

For today’s daily create, I decided to try and replicate the slope formula, or more commonly known as M = rise/run. Enjoy!

This is my attempt on a lune poem, and it describes what I do routinely (not each day, but often) and that is make myself some breakfast. However it does not look as fancy as it is being presented I might add, as I am only capable of making cheesy eggs and ham inside a […]

Storytelling can have a lot of different meanings according to multiple people. For me, I view storytelling as an action centralizing around one individual: the storyteller. That individual sets the tone of the entire story by introducing a bunch of significant elements that will piece the story together as the story goes on. Storytelling does […]

After watching Michael Wesch’s lecture, I can say that I really enjoyed it, despite it’s length. I can relate to the part where he explained how students are not usually interested in lectures or just seem to not care, admittedly, because sometimes a professor can make a class not enjoyable just the way he or she […]

I was so accustomed in using my iPhone, that once I got on a computer, I kept pressing the spacebar twice in hoping a period would appear after my sentences.

It’s pretty interesting on how Campbell starts out by explaining how people used to have trouble using the internet. It is really remarkable on how back then, the internet was so foreign to almost everybody and comparing it to today, where literally everyone can use it. The fact that in today’s age where the internet […]

After listening to Scott Lockman’s podcast, I found that he is very informative and forward about his views of the DS106 course. My initial judgements are that he seems to be a very great person to interact with and that he wants to help the students in DS106 to succeed. He has a really good […]
