    A Titanic of Movie (Ha!)

    by
    One movie that I have been forced to watch over and over, due to my dating life, is the Titanic. Every girl I have ever been with has either been obsessed with this film or The Notebook, sometimes both. As much as I would like to bad mouth the movie, overtime I have secretly started ...

    The Live Outdoors Radio Show Review

    by
    I thought this show was well done. The opening was nicely done and the beat was pretty catchy. The introduction also did a nice job introducing the show and the content that was going to be covered. The show had some very good ideas, such as the Bear Grylls guest speaker, product reviews and the ...

    Is there an Edge to the Heavens?

    by
    The episode “Is there an Edge to the Heavens?” is amazing, and I found it very entertaining. They did a great job with their vocal expressions, transitions, sound effects and content and created something that I loved to sit and listen to for twenty minutes. They used various techniques, including ones to import outside audio ...

    ¿Entonces cuál es la mala?

    by
    For the last of my 4 stars I decided to put my years of Spanish classes to work. The joke I found didn’t have a title unfortunately, so I just picked out a line from it that I thought would work well. I recorded that myself, downloaded the guitar music track and the laughter. The music track wasn’t long enough to cover ...

    We’re Married!

    by
    This is for the Autotune Something assignment. Considering this was only 1 star, it took me awhile to do. For some reason I could not get Gsnap to make it obviously autotuned. I started out with songs, so I assumed maybe it was something with the audio type that was interferring. I then tryed the ...

    Visual Assignment – Colorize Your World

    by
    For my last REQUIRED entry, I decided to do something silly and “colorize my world”. I remembered that my favorite cartoon character growing up was Johny Bravo, so I decided to have him as my subject. However, I felt one picture did not do the man justice. He was so full of enery, never giving up when ...

    Visual Assignment – ReCaptcha

    by
    I love the idea behind this assignment. I have stared at countless Captchas wondering ” what in the world is that?”, I would even go and Google a word out of curiosity(usually with no luck). However, I digress. For this assignment, the ds106 gods gave me the captcha “Homeip Elected”. Upon seeing this, immediately thought of a  family at home, ...

    I have seen this photo all over the internet, and many people I know have seen it at some point. This makes it well known, to me at least. However, I cannot recall who the subject is. It has been on the tip of my toung for days now! Once I either find it or ...

    My brother is home!

    A few years ago, my brother became a full fledged Marine. I went to his graduation from bootcamp, and I could not express how proud of him I was. I was so happy for him. My family and I dreaded the day that he was to be sent to war, but we knew it was ...

    What is Web 2.0?/Assignment 3

    by
    My initial thought when looking over the first page of the article was not very great. The article seemed fine, however it confused me from the very beginning. As I continued to read on, I think I started to understand the concept a bit better, but I have a feeling that I may still be ...

    Comforting Sound

    by
    The majority of the comforting sounds I could think of where from home, which I unfortunately don’t have access too. HOWEVER! I remember when the viral sensation “Friday” came out and everyone was going around singing it. The semester that came out was a good one for me. I met some of my best friends and had a ...

    Unfortunately, the conditions that I had to work with for this assignment were somewhat limited. I had been at class literally all day and wasn’t able to get to work on this create until around 9pm. Obviously, at this point, the sun is gone and I had to try to find a large enough light ...

    Object in Motion

    by
    I had a little too much fun with this project. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but it would have made the assignment much more time consuming. Instead, I downloaded the free trial of Avid Studio, which I felt would be handy to have for later assignments anyway, and messed around ...

    Assignment Two

    by
    I thought the article, “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure.”, as well as the video, “No More Digital Facelifts: Thinking the Unthinkable About Open Educational Experiences.”, were both very interesting and had nice, thought provoking concepts. I was interested early into the video when he began speaking about the “Three Recursive Practices”. Everything he touched in with this topic hit home ...
