There once was a dog named Jessie. She was part of a lovely family of 5. She was treated as if she was the parent’s own child. They loved taking Jessie on walks, to the dog park, to friend’s houses, and so much more, but little did they no that Jessie lived a very lonely life … Continue reading The Story of Jessie, The Once Lonely Dog

One more week to go! I feel like this semester has flown by, but I guess that’s what happens during summer classes.

Movies are one of my favorite things out there, whether it be a comedy, romance, horror, etc… The effort that goes into a movie and the special effects and acting are what really can make or break it. Everyone has seen their fair share of really good movies that can be watched over and over, … Continue reading Reading A Movie

So, does anyone else get extremely awkward when recording themselves or am I the only one?? Looking through the video assignments this week was tough because a lot of the things were recording yourself and  I freaked out a little. I finally just came to the realization I needed to suck it up and just … Continue reading A Day In My Life

We were asked to read a poem out loud, but not in  normal way, in a way where the words are repeated. I found a short poem online that was deep, but short.

Assignment: http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1616/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Reading Reading A A Poem Poem … Continue reading Reading Doubles

Do you ever watch a movie or a TV show for the second time and find yourself noticing things that you never did before, or hearing things you never did before? This assignment helped me do just that. Not necessarily just seeing new things, but it helped me to notice more the detail and the … Continue reading Dexter: The Analyzation

If there is one week that I think has gone by slow so far, it has for sure been this one. I think it’s because I just started a new job and I’ve been busy, but oh my gosh I am so glad it’s over! Audio week was definitely a tricky one for me. I … Continue reading Weekly Summary 3

When looking through the list of stories to choose from to listen to the one called “Doppelgängers” really caught my eye. I’ve always been fascinated how people from complete opposite sides of the world could look like each other. Not necessarily does the term doppelgänger mean that two people look the same txt are not … Continue reading Doppelgängers: Food vs. People

Whenever I think of Canada I think of their term “eh” and their popular maple syrup and bacon. So, obviously I had to include those terms in the speech bubbles.

For this assignment we were asked to create a voicemail using a character from a TV show or movie in a way that they would. I’m actually surprised I chose this assignment to do because one thing I hate is to make my voicemail on my phone. I hate hearing myself speak because that voice … Continue reading If Khalessi, Mother of Dragons, Had A Voicemail

I have a love/hate relationship with those new songs that come on the radio every other song. I love them because they are super catchy, but also hate them because they are catchy. Even if I don’t necessarily like the song, I always end up getting it stuck in my head and that usually lasts … Continue reading What’s That Song?

For todays daily create, the object was to tell the rest of the story based off of this: http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1609/ I decided to go with a new idea they were testing at a car factory. The idea I came up with was a repellant that does not allow cars to hit people/things and hurt them. I … Continue reading New Repellent for Cars!

This week deals with audio storytelling, and to be completely honest, I got a little nervous. I have never done anything where I have to record myself talking or doing something without my face being in the picture; I don’t like listening to myself on audio as I know a lot of people don’t. After … Continue reading The Art of Audio Storytelling

Today’s daily create was to find something that was almost the number of ds106, but not exactly. I tried to think of something interesting and was a little stumped. Then I started thinking of sports and jersey numbers, so I figured what better way to do that then use my favorite football team, the Steelers. … Continue reading DS106 or DS160?

Nowadays everyone seems to have a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and any other social media account out there. Anyone that does have one of these most definitely will relate to the cover of this book. Whenever I meet new people it always seems like the first thing they say is, “Do you want to be … Continue reading Are You My Friend on all my Social Media Accounts??

Well, week 2 is over just like that! I feel like this week went a lot smoother for me then last week just because I felt more comfortable with doing the assignments.

As I said in the post I made for the DesignBlitz, this weeks goal was to find different things around me, in my everyday life, that I think represent concepts of design. I thought I would do a good job with this because I have had experience with doing things like this in the past … Continue reading How Do I Feel About the DesignBlitz?

This weeks goal was to find things such as ads, signs, objects, etc. that display either good or bad principles of design. I thought I may have a little bit of an advantage because I have taken art classes in high school before and that was always a big portion of the class, finding things … Continue reading DesignBlitz

For this GIF we had to focus on eye movement. I wanted to do something creepy because when I think of eye movement, I think of scary movies and the weird puppet dolls. I looked up dolls eyes moving and found one on the Elf on a Shelf. I have a younger sister who is … Continue reading Eye See You

  This assignment was a little different for me because I have never tried to make a GIF before. The GIF assignment was to create a sports highlight reel, so obviously I had to choose my favorite football team. It is hard for me to think of important plays that happen because there are so … Continue reading Here We Go Steelers!!

We have all probably had that one time where that weird ad pops up on our computer, followed by what seems like a million more. This is what is known as a virus. I can say I have had a pretty nasty virus on one of my computers before and lost just about everything on … Continue reading The Secret Virus

If there is any type of car that I love, it is hands down any type of Jeep. I currently have a Jeep Liberty, and my dream car that is actually reasonable is a Jeep Wrangler, but my dream car that isn’t necessarily reasonable is the new 2015 Jeep Chief. It gives off that surfer/beach … Continue reading Jeeps For Life

I remember when 2 truths and 1 lie was popular when I was younger. It was one of many little games that my friends and I would play. I don’t think I have ever played and described something else other than myself, so was little trickier to come up with something to say for DS106. … Continue reading 2 Truths, 1 Lie

I love these Daily Creates! I wasn’t so sure about todays, though, because that’s a little embarrassing to try and open a water bottle with your feet, but I did it anyway and somehow succeeded! It took a while to do, so good thing Twitter only allows 30 seconds on their videos or mine would’ve … Continue reading Human or Monkey?
