Dear future ds106ers, Have you ever been in that relationship that is hot one second and cold the next. Yes, than no. In, than out? Okay, if you didn’t get the Katy Perry reference watch the music video.  Anyway, ds106 will take you for a ride from the very start where you learn how to […]

Dear Glee, your themed episodes featuring Britney Spears and Lady Gaga have been interesting endeavors. Please never try to invade the movies. Sincerely, Good Television   Glee Image 1, Glee Image 2, Pirates of the Caribbean Image.

Originally when I thought about what I wanted to do for my mashup, I figured it would be something with pictures and photoshop.  However, I was having trouble doing something I liked. I created some creepy mix of aladdin and jasmine as Mr. & Mrs. Smith (the movie).  After watching some of the examples of […]

I took this picture on a hike on Mt. Rainier in Washington.  We were on a section of the mountain that looks like it could be the face of the moon; completely barren and covered in rocks.  This was in stark contrast to the flowery meadows that we had been hiking through the day before.  […]

Hello fellow UMW students, I left my digital camera sitting on a bench in front of Trinkle this morning. (Yes, stupid me). I’ve looked everywhere and asked the police if anyone has turned it in yet. (No luck). That’s why I’m asking you to ask your friends or if you hear of someone talking about […]

Once I got going with this assignment I started to reallllllly enjoy it! Editing the html was quite easy, including pictures, as long as they were on flickr. Where I did struggle was with the advertisements at the top of the page.  For some reason it is duplicating the ads after I’ve saved the .html […]

Fredericksburg makes the list as one of the top cities to travel to in this months National Geographic edition. I’ll be editing this National Geographic page with the must-do’s and see’s of Fredericksburg (there are more options for writing below the big picture).  Biggest choice – deciding what picture to use to feature our city!

This picture is from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship from 2010.  UMW is the boat closest to the bottom of the screen.  We came from last  off the line to winning in the final sprint of the race. (Very rarely can a crew come from behind to win!) It is, hands down, my favorite race of […]
