When I saw we were working with audio this week, I wasn’t very excited.  I haven’t worked with audio before, so I was dreading it. Doing something new is scary! But on Tuesday I decided to stop pouting about it and just jump in. Though it probably would have been smarter to start from the ...

This week I only managed to get three Daily Creates done. Wednesday The task: Retitle a movie poster to make it more accurate. WAIT! This was my suggestion! I was so excited to see it up there, and then when people started posting their movie posters, I got even more excited! I’m so glad people ...

Super frustrated this week! Every time I had time to listen to the DS106 radio, there was either weird music or a story. The stories were interesting, but I always seemed to miss the first half. I eventually made it to two stories this week. Listening to DS106 Radio I was going to use another ...

For one of the first assignments this week, I had to watch a few videos on audio storytelling and write some “nuggets” about them.

I listened to ...

I wanted to hear a variety of stories, so I took on The Truth from this week’s assignment list. I listened to them once during the week, but I also went back today, before writing this, to pay more attention to the noises and sound effects. (Each heading is the link to the story) Third Party So, ...

I learned a lot this week by working on audio stories. Mainly how perfectionism and indecisiveness do not work well together, but I learned some other things, too. For this week’s assignment, I created a bumper for DS106radio. As per this wikipedia article, a bumper is a brief announcement, usually two to [fifteen] seconds that can ...

This week I submitted a few daily creates. Describe one small thing that brings you joy, for example driving under an underpass in the rain.

This week I created a few daily creates. Take a photo of something that makes you go “NOPE NOPE NOPE!”

This week I submitted a few daily creates. Retitle a movie poster to make it more accurate.

Let me be honest. This week was rough. I had way too much due for my other classes between Tuesday and Thursday on top of the five or six meetings I went to. After last semester, writing my 30-40 page history thesis on top of all my other papers and work seemed impossible. But I ...
