Any time I think of evil Guinea pigs it reminds of me that south park episode where the Guinea Pigs were just wrecking the town so I made this daily create with that in mind.

This week was all about to design. The main feature of this week was the design safari. I started out the week by looking at what each of the ten characteristics of design meant and then tried to photograph examples of each throughout the week. It was not exactly difficult to find examples but I […]

I decided to the Children’s Book Cover assignment worth 3 stars. As a kid there was one book that I would always have my Mom and Grammy read to me. It is a book that I will likely read to my own kids. This book is The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. It is a […]

My friends and I always joke around saying that we should make a band and an album. So when I saw the assignment Your Big Break I decided that it would be cool to make that a reality. This was a three star assignment. Breaking news! Long awaited debut album for Dunsparce has finally come out. […]

While looking through all the design I was having a hard time of thinking which assignment I should try next. I ended up finding the Scene Poster assignment worth 3.5 stars. I decided to make a poster for another one of my favorite shows Regular Show. I think that I made a gif about the […]

The design safari set out to have me looking for different types of photography opportunities. I was able to utilize some of the skills that I learned last week about photography and apply them to this week where I was trying to find ten different concepts about design. There was color, typography, metaphor/symbols, minimalism/use of […]

I woke up this morning the day after OktoberFest and did not have a hangover or any of that nonsense associated with drinking. However when I went to go look in the mirror I did notice that one of my eyes was open significantly more than the other one. Then I realized why. The huge […]

For the Minimalist TV Poster assignment I decided to make a minimalist poster of one of my favorite tv shows, Aqua Teen Hunger Force (also known by several other names if you know the show). To truly capture the show I needed to include the whole gang in one minimalist poster. They are what the […]

For the design assignment One Story/Four Icons I had a hard time deciding what movie to do. I was thinking of a classic like Star Wars but I have already done plenty of assignments based on that. Then I was trying to think of some comedies that would be good to do four icons with. […]

Hey guys I made an empathy map for today’s daily create tell me if any of you guys can relate to what I’m feeling in DS106 right now!

I did this daily create a couple days ago but was too busy to make a blog post about it so here is Captain Fluoride, everyone enjoy him and his merry men!

Enjoy the dancing cup everyone!

This week had a focus on visuals and photography. Before we got into any of that the first thing we had to do was form our radio groups. So my roommate and I joined group 2 we were also joined by Thomas who I know from Spanish class, Cooper who my roommate is friends with […]

The final Visual Assignment I decided to tackle was the Common Everyday Object. I thought this would be a cool one to do since there are plenty of everyday objects around my dorm room that I use on a regular basis. Since I happened to watching some football while working on my assignments I figured […]

There is an epic new band with a wacky name known as Jean-Claude Bastos de Morais. Their music has been sweeping the nation and have quickly gone gold. If you guys couldn’t tell I decided to make the album cover. This assignment was very fun since I listen to a lot of music, and generally […]

So today while eating lunch I was drinking a can of coke. I was struggling to think of ideas for the visual assignments for this week. Then I looked at the required visual assignment for the week, Apophenia and decided that my coke can should be utilized in the assignment. So I started out by […]

Gotta listen to my jams, like my ear buds?

This week we were given ten tips to improve how we take photographs and none of these tips required buying any gear. David duChemin lays out ten easy tips in his book TEN: Ten Ways to Improve Your Craft Without Buying Gear. The ten tips he laid were useful and I kept them in mind […]

Once I found we were making sets I decided that I was going to make two separate sets. One was going to be for my best pictures from ds106 so far and the other was going to be for something that I am excited for and is coming out very soon. I dedicated this second […]

The photo blitz was a difficult but interesting experience. It put the pressure on my to come up with interesting and creative photos as quickly as I could. Twenty minutes did not seem like a very long time but I found myself taking photos and trying to be imaginative. I ended up doing the blitz […]

Today I recorded the sounds made at the cage by Russell basketball court. The UMW street hockey club was in action.

I am from Massachusetts so on my way to work I would typically listen to Boston’s alternative radio station 92.9. Today when I tuned in they happened to be playing a song that I enjoy by the Foo Fighters- My Hero. Hope everyone enjoys!

I made this image to represent a song by Alkaline Trio called Calling all Skeletons. Hope everybody enjoys Grim also, gotta love that Jamaican Grim Reaper.

This week was a huge learning experience for me. I learned about audio and radio. I started out the week by listening to Ira Glass, whom I found to be motivational for me. He taught me about the building blocks for a good story, and also described how hard it is to find a good […]

Using Audacity was a struggle at first. I looked up several youtube video and how to websites to get me started. Back in high school we used to use garage band to work on assignments like this so I started to get the hang of it once I realized Audacity was a more complex version […]

This week we had to listen to DS106Radio. I found the whole experience somewhat confusing. Looking at the status page still made it unclear who was actually the host and also I was not sure when the show was live or not. I tuned in on two separate occasions. The first time I tuned there […]

I started out the week having to meet strangers which was an awkward experience. Asking people for pictures was strange but I had a group who let me sit at their table and take a picture of them just enjoying lunch. Next I had to describe how I was feeling on a particular day. This […]

BurpeesForBobby!! Sorry I draw so bad but hopefully Bobby gets the rules now!!

My title for this post might seem strange to those of you who did not decide to listen to the radio program that I did, but if you did not give it a listen I highly recommend it because it had a lot of really interested topics. I decided to listen to the radiolab’s episode […]
