BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): From this course, I gained a tremendous amount of capabilities to tell stories in the digital world but also left a lot on the table.
When I first started the semester, there was a wide, open space in my mind, not knowing what I’d be …
World War I Flying Aces and the Music! Movie
At first, I thought about doing a short movie of popular aviation songs from 1918-1938 but it became apparent that I should focus on how an event like WWI flying aces and then Amelia Earhart’s last flight was memorialized in music …

This remix is intended to be one of opposites–find a completed assignment and create its oxymoron, something that is contradictory to what was made. My first assignment is the lower SoundCloud link, called Quote of the Day and it’s from my Audio Assignment 210. I pulled a quoted from my …
I clicked the REMIX IT from the Write a Movie Review, and up popped “Where’s Waldo? It.” The task is to slip Waldo’s name quickly into an audio assignment. I chose a voice-over narration that I had previously produced that also had background sound of an old airplane flying, just …
For MashupAssignments1864, Mash Thyself, Before Ye Trash Thyself, I took the two pieces of work from previous assignments and added them to my Exercise and Socialize video. Surprisingly, they all worked together, basically with a common theme of getting up and moving with your people, because you’re happy! I stretched …
This is one of my favorite songs–I refer to Don’t Rain on My Parade as my lifelong mantra in a previous blog so let’s keep up a good, joyful thing going! I was working on MashupAssignments2124 and immediately thought of the Glee version with the lead singer Lea Michele and …
This mashup is for Assignment 771 and was a no-brainer because I’m a tremendous fan of the film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Ever heard of it?? Of course, it had to come out in 1984, which is relevant as it plays off of George …

#tdc3730 #ds106 I was Today 4 years old when I learned to read on the World Book Encyclopedia. It started with lot so pictures and went from …
Last week, I detailed the technology of how I produced my movie and it was pretty much the same but much more efficient this time around. Just to recap, I used CloudConvert after downloading everything using the Firefox browser from YouTube, getting video in MP4 and audio on MP3. The …
For this VideoAssignments1537, “Exercise and Socialize” we’re supposed to record a video of ourselves, taking a neighborhood walk and play a song in the background that the neighbors would enjoy. Not being sure if I can record a video while playing music on the same iPhone (and knowing that as …
Just learning about the Golden Ratio was fascinating to me, from a sculpture who came to visit a few years back when I had a bed and breakfast at my home. He explained that it is very pleasing to the eye, that people feel comfortable, when they see a composition …
What a challenge! First the expenditure of time was at least 12 hours to produce this four minutes and 20 seconds. Six hours on Monday, and I forget when I started on Sunday but it was somewhere between six and 10 hours on Sunday. Why so long?? I know nothing …

Wade, Katie and I have started discussing final project ideas and are just in the brainstorming phase. We are thinking of a video format for the project and want to include the theme of joy of creativity, which will definitely be exhibited by our work! The assignment says the project …
We never knew what was going to happen in our lives. Some young people, early in high school and after, had it all planned out. They set themselves on a trajectory with a plan of education, training, family, maybe the military, where they planned to live and what hobbies they …
My skills have blossomed, and so has this photo collage! What was once a static set of five photos is now a photo video with background sound. Wonders are not ceasing. I took the five images from VisualAssignment2109 and decided that if these are supposed to be Places of Peace, …
Tonight’s DS106 Radio featured Death of the Painter and Coroner’s Tale at the 8 p.m., slot. My team, Radio7, created Death of the Painter and it was fun to listen to our brainchild live! It was also a little surreal to hear it “over the airwaves.” I was using my …
#tdc3709 #ds106 Now, I like veggies, all veggies until it comes to the things that rip holes in your stomach. I hear that Ghost Peppers are almost the hottest on the Scoville scale, really close to the Caroline Reaper. I'm having none of them. Zip, zilch, nada, nein. pic.twitter.com/wDl88AFXxU

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Radio7’s Radio Show, “Death of the Painter” is complete and posted to SoundCloud by Wade, with a total run time of 44:51. Here is the show, for your listening enjoyment:
Over the spring break, I reserved rooms at the HCC so we could record the …
This week has been wonderful to finally work with people who I’ve only been observing through their creativity online. I was happy to meet SIX real people in our meeting on Monday and to participate in our collective creative process! I wish we had collaborated together since the beginning of …
Our group, Radio7, is doing well, having finished our first week in the creation of our radio show that will be ready to air on Friday, March 11. We have a vision and a task at hand with some granularity. We know we are producing a murder mystery radio show …
This bumper is for AudioAssignments2616, part of our radio show that we’re putting together. I don’t want to give any more away so suffice it to say, I found two pieces of sound: background music and birds chirping. Then I recorded a message to keep listening to Radio7 for the …
For this audio assignment, I’m bending the rules a bit in the interests of the radio show project. How about a dark take on Audio Assignment 1745, “Good Morning Message to the Village? It’s still a message to a village, that is, our village in DS10,6 and a message of …
For our radio show design project, I decided to create a generic logo for our radio show group. We are named Radio7. It’s simple, clean and there are seven of us doing a radio show that could always morph into something other vision! We didn’t want to be tied down …
Design Week was easier from the perspective that the apps were more straightforward and easier to use, saving a lot of time. This was a much less aggravating, and much more Joyful week. Bob would be in a more blissful place this week if he were taking the course and …
Yes, this is Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society, one of my favorite movies of all times. But that is not the famous quote that I chose for Design Assignments 1974, “Favorite Movie Quote.” I do have the famous scene of Williams standing on top of the desk, …
Inventing a Public Service Advertisement (PSA) for Design Assignment 817 that may fit with my long story and our good friend Bob’s theme of Joy in all that we do, well, seemed to be to get out of the house and go hang with your peeps! Imagine that what you …
For DesignAssignments 1887, Motivational Poster, the task was to find an image and design a poster for that situation. I went at it backwards because my mantra for many moons has been to Keep the Forward Momentum Going, and that also (hopefully) will fit in with my long story and …
