This week I just worked on my video. As I’ve had more pressing projects, I haven’t really dove in deep to making this video. However, I have a solid concept for it. I think it will turn out well.
This week we reviewed the test and talked about the upcoming video project. I realized what I did wrong on the test, so I think I will do well on the make up test this Monday. I messed up my math when choosing the right amount of binary digits needed …

This week we delved into the chasm of subnetting. Subnetting involves working with binary a lot, so I’m grateful I have prior education on subnetting. The whole process is not incredibly difficult, but it is a little tedious. Once I understood the principle of it, I was able to do …

I found this particular lab to be more fun than the others. This kind of thing is more in my line of work. Getting everything together and working wasn’t all that hard. The fun part …
In week eight, we continued our studying of binary and how it applies to networks. Again, binary is mostly review for me, so most of what we went over isn’t worth writing home about. All of that binary stuff has been ingrained in my brain never to leave again. One …
This week we got started on a new unit. We got started on binary and touched a bit on sub netting. This mostly review for me, as I remember being bewildered at the concept of binary my freshman year. I didn’t do that well on my test, though. I plan …

Assignments
The I’m Ready For My Close Up Assignment had me take a close up shot in a movie, and change the background. I chose to use a close up of Bradley Cooper and put him on Hoth.
This assignment was essentially the reverse of the other mash up assignment I …
The This Doesn’t Belong Here assignment had me photoshop something where it doesn’t belong. I chose to put myself into a scene from Pulp Fiction. I definitely don’t belong with gangsters in tuxes.
I used a green screen to make cutting myself out easier. I used Adobe Photoshop. I used …
The Two Movies, One Line Assignment had me mash up two lines from two movies and make them one. I chose one of my all time favorite movies and one of the funniest TV shows to hit the silver screen.
This was nothing too advanced for me. I just downloaded …
The Mini documentary assignment had me make… a mini documentary.
I wanted to be creative with this. I didn’t want a run-of-the-mill documentary. Thus, I decided to do one over a baby. The baby can’t talk, so it was mostly a voice over with footage that illustrated what the voice-over …
The Winnebago Man was skillfully put together by the production team. The storytelling of the story is perhaps the most impressive part about the film. The film opens up with a clip of the documentary creators arguing with the Winnebago Man on camera. It gets our attention and sets the …
The Why So Serious assignment asked me to take a serious part of a movie, and overlay it with comedy audio. So I did just that, mixing the Bobadook and Seinfeld.
For those who don’t know, The Bobadook is an Australian horror movie that got a lot of critical acclaim …
The Song Visualization Assignment told me to make a video where I display pictures to tell the story a song is telling. To this, I went with none other than the legendary Tenacious D!
This was fairly easy to me. Find the pictures, put them on the time line, fit …
Week 8 was a fun week. The class stitched together the radio show for ds106 Tuesday afternoon. We all had separate parts to edit that we mashed together to make the final product. Reagan and I did most of the stitching together as the class supervised. I think the radio …
Make It 800% Slower had me take a song and slow it down by 800%. I used Andy Mckee’s acoustic guitar tune “Hunter’s Moon”. This assignment was pretty simple for me, but hey, four stars is four stars.
I used Reaper Studio for this. I tried doing it with Audacity …
The Combining Covers assignment has me combine a cover of a song with its original. I chose “Simple Man” by Lynard Skynard and Shinedown’s cover of it. I ended up spending more time that I wanted on it, but I extended my work time because I enjoyed doing this assignment.…
