Wow! I feel like I’ve come to the end of a long journey. Back in January, I had no idea where my Learning With Digital Stories (INTE 5340) class would take me. I’ve gone down different paths this semester and seen many things and read many stories of adversity. In the process, I’ve been inspired … Continue reading "INTE 5340 Final Portfolio"

Another fun DS106 Daily Create.  Could have used a photo from Colorado a couple of days ago, but the sun finally came out!

(“Red Rocks at Night” by David Amirault from www.ozskier.com under CC BY SA 3.0 license) Daily Create Assignment this week.  Fun work, especially with this photo of Red Rock Amphitheater, which just announced this summer’s Film on the Rocks line-up!

I may visit Yosemite National Park one day, but I’ll never view it from this angle!

Studying from home. Wishing I was on campus, but enjoying spring.   ***I was not in the best mood when I wrote this, but it’s my current perspective of on-line education.**

              It’s tough to write a Twitter story in less than 140 characters! @ds106dc #tdc1521 #ILT5340 Earl looked over his snowy land and realized he needed nothing more in life… except maybe a pair of long johns.

Made this DS106 Design Assignment and added a Coen brothers twist.  If you’ve ever seen The Big Lebowski, you’ll understand the context.  Very simple design using (gasp!) Microsoft Power Point.

These DS 106 Daily Create assignments really help me work on my Adobe Illustrator skills from time to time.  Gives me some idea on how I could use the application.

… but it’s not happy hour yet.  Dang it!  Had to plan to get this photo at Union Station in Denver.  Fortunately, the clocks inside were set correctly.  The ones on the outside are not always so precise.

I was amazed at how quickly I was able to put this DS106 Assignment Bank project together.  With all the movie audio, including songs and some soundbites, is available on a CD, it makes things much easier.  This was a favorite soundtrack to listen to back in 1995.  In Madison, a person could hear “Son … Continue reading "DS106 Audio Assignment: Movie As Radio"

It’s nice when you can create simple things in Adobe Illustrator.   Hopefully, people understand the play on Roman numerals.

This DS106 Video Assignment didn’t take too much time to record, but it did take a while to think about what I was going to say.  Most of it is light, but I do talk a bit serious for a couple of moments.  Recorded this with my iMac webcam, cut together in iMovie and even … Continue reading "DS106 Video Assignment: Dear Sixteen Year Old, Me"

This DS106 Daily Create assignment took longer than I thought.  Haven’t used Adobe Illustrator much so I threw this together using Google Drawings.  Took a little while to find some simple clipart online.

This week’s Daily Create took a little creativity: Turn a William Shakespeare quote and use an Old West Speak Generator to create the cowboy version.  I chose the following from Julius Caesar: “Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.” Here’s the Old West Speak Version.  Interesting.

This is a small part of a whole something.
