So I saw the Visual Assignment 340 and I’ve always wondered how pics like that were done and figured now was the time to find out. It’s quite simple, I don’t know why it took me so long to do. Here’s my final product. It’s a picture I took, either in Scotland or England, of […]

Valentines day is upon us again and I decided to create nerd valentines for the second year in a row. What’s more is I’m posting this BEFORE Valentines day, instead of a day late like last year. This year’s crop includes more Star Trek, some Community and one from Doctor Who. (Let it be known […]

My dear friend Sarah K was one of the people whose blog was hacked. She was deeply upset with this and was talking with our friend Elena about it. She and Elena came up with a brilliant idea of making a gif from Star Wars: A New Hope where Leia contacts Obi-wan Kenobi to assist […]

Here’s my first attempt at an animated movie poster, as well as my first real post for DS106 pt 2! It doesn’t really look like the other animated posters but this was my take on them. It’s basically the “frame” of the real movie poster. I removed most of the original image, except the candles […]

I’m not in DS106 (or even at school anymore) but I wanted to share this here. I made a mash-up of Ned Stark and Ned’s Declassified High School Survival Guide ( a show on Nickelodeon about how to survive high school… I had a lot of free days this summer, ok). I took pics of […]

I realized halfway through making this that my last post dealt with Harry Potter but at that point I didn’t really care about that because Harry Potter is awesome. Did you know the trailer for the last installment came out yesterday? Yeah, I watched that while procrastinating. Later in the night while I was procrastinating […]

When my roommate Steph came up with the “On This Day Assignment” I knew exactly what I wanted to do for it. And finally, 2 months later I quit procrastinating and did this.     I did a simple version, just took a screenshot of a Harry Potter movie duel between Harry and Voldemort and […]

As I have mentioned before I am a history major and I love broadway and musicals. One musical that combines this is 1776 which is about the Continental Congress leading up to the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence. Sounds super exciting to non-history loving people I am sure. Anyways I was doing […]

Quite awhile ago Karen, (Yessss this Karen, who loves her Zac Efron btw ->), posted on my facebook wall that she and her family were talking about the Civil War and how they wanted to see Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis in an epic lightsaber battle and challenged me to make a picture of it. […]

As usual with these articles they went over my head. Lately however whenever I think of mashups I think of the overuse of mashups on Glee. I like how in the Dr. Mashup article it talks about the terminology and how remix and mashup are different things. Remixes are things made using the same source […]

This is super dooper late. I talked with Jim Groom but I don’t think I expected it to be this late. Two jobs + Classes + Full Weekend of Rugby is not conducive to getting a lot of stuff done. I know I said I was going to do Edward Scissorhands Gmail but I thought […]

Hopefully I remember to put this in drafts until Friday afternoon-ish because I would hate for this to leak out. If I do forget and post it before Friday afternoon right before rugby, and you know Karen, don’t tell her. (That means you Scooby, Charlotte, Ivania, CMohr, Molly, Steph, Sarah, and Jess… I think that […]

I saw this assignment pop up the other day and thought it looked fun but had no idea what to do. Then, on what turned out to be an almost 6hr trip from Fredericksburg to Philly, I thought of something. I remembered reading a list of ridiculous warning labels like a chainsaw’s “Do not attempt […]

Hope everyone’s break is going fine. I’m back at Mary Washington for the day before heading to Philadelphia. My roomie has been here all break because of student teaching, but, because of that she goes to bed early and thus I decided to make these gifs (also because I haven’t posted in awhile and I […]

Since I’m very indecisive and because there’s so much awesome stuff made by you guys this is going to be a long post. First off is Jess’s Daily Shoot photo 455. It’s of the sunset and the colors are just amazing, especially behind the black of the trees. After talking to Bryan Alexander and Alan […]

This is a day late but I wanted to make these, and I had no time before this. The first one is from Firefly where shiny means “good, great, neat, cool etc.” Second one is Star Trek. Sure Vulcans don’t show emotion buuuut I don’t care. I wanted to make cheesy valentines. The next two […]

I made another Gif! Yaaaay. I think these are kind of addicting. I had planned to do another 4 icon movie post and/or a minimalist movi poster buuut I ran out of time before rugby working on this and I am going to go take a nap before I work from 10:30pm-2:30am (fun times). This […]

This is my silly attempt at a Gif. I made it from the intro to Season 4 of Psych which is an amazing and hilarious show. This character is Shawn Spencer and he’s convinced the Santa Barbara Police Department he is a psychic and he makes these weird hand motions alot of the time when […]

Today we had our class over the radio in what I compared to Roosevelt’s Fireside chats. I liked it. We got a group six people in my apartment (Steph, Jess, Catherine, Colleen, and Sarah) all in my living room. We hooked up my laptop to computer speakers so it would be loud enough and settled […]

I actually started this before class this evening so the Star Wars overload in class did not (entirely) influence this. Just motivated me to finish sooner. Good thing I don’t have class tomorrow. Tell me have you ever googled “How to type out Chewbacca noises?” I have. It’s not very helpful actually.. This took a […]

Five Card Story: Strange Journey a ds106 story created by MeganMc flickr photo by cogdogblog flickr photo by paulhami flickr photo by paulhami flickr photo by nessman flickr photo by paulhami The journey was a long one, and we had had very little direction except to “keep straight.” We continued forth until we reached a […]

Behold my art. Try not to laugh, hopefully you can figure out what the icons are supposed to be. Also, I hope you can guess the movie. Can you guess it? Can you can you can you? The fire is a little lame… but fire is hard to draw. The movie is Castaway with Tom […]
