Here we go, folks. All right, so I haven’t been able to post any updates about this project because, well, there haven’t been any. I’ve been too busy with other stuff and this is the first chance I’ve gotten to actually just sit down for any significant amount of time and do stuff for this ...

Boom. Last remix assignment. This one’s worth 4 stars. Still a lot, and I feel like the stars system for remix assignments needs balancing, but I’ll leave that for future ds106 generations. For this assignment, I had to take a “Play in the Big Leagues” assignment and “Turn Up The Cheese” on it. Make it ...

Okay, you guysssss! So for my next Remix assignment, I had to read somebody’s “What’s Inside” assignment in a “Popular Girl” voice. So naturally, I chose Chelsea Mageland’s. I think this assignment speaks for itself. Press play, then click on the image below to follow along: Apparently that’s worth 6 stars? Again, kind of a ...

So the remix assignment was to take a fantasy TED talk and flip the mood on it. I thought about my old Vader Talk assignment and immediately had this idea: Pretty fun to do. Just had to pick the right image of Luke, cut him out, and blend him into the background by darkening him, ...

UPDATE 2: I switched to Vimeo for now. UPDATE: It’s being blocked for copyright infringement. I just submitted a dispute claiming it falls under the protection of copyright law that allows nonprofit educational use without permission of the copyright holder. We’ll see how that plays out. Either my video will stay up, or my entire ...

Antiques Roadshow – Show and tell about a family heirloom (it doesn’t have to be old). Tell the world in a 5 minute or less video why ds106 is the greatest thing since… (cat breading?) Celebrate religious architecture with a photo...

Okay, and that’s a wrap! Trapped in the Closet with Dr. Love has just broken free from the closet and is ready to broadcast: Recording the final stretch was a bit of a challenge, trying to think up about three minutes of solo material, but we definitely needed it. Dr. Love just hadn’t played a ...

Let my tale be a warning: If you’re going to submit an assignment, make sure it hasn’t already been submitted yet. I made a “Greetings From…” postcard for my apartment and was going to submit that as a design assignment, but lo and behold, one “Michael Branson Smith” already has the monopoly on it, and ...

“Take a photo depicting your favorite type of weather.” Sunny and warm – perfect for lounging outside. “Where’d your name come from? Record a video in which you describe how you got your name, or where you got your name ...

No hints, no explanations, nothing that could give it away.

“Take a photo that represents your current job, or a job that you once had.” POOR. “Take a photo of your most prized possession.”

For those who wanted to know how I made the rain effects in this picture… …here you go: Unable to display content. Adobe Flash is required.

If you haven’t heard of the “Umbrella Man,” you really need to check this video out. But basically, he was this guy that happened to be present at the JFK assassination, and even though it was a bright and sunny day, he had an umbrella out. Conspiracy theorists, go! Well, turns out he was at ...

I have an unhealthy love for Shaun of the Dead. I’ve seen it more times than I can remember and I evangelize it to anyone I come across who hasn’t seen it. Designing a minimalist poster for it isn’t even an assignment for me; it’s just another Friday morning. The only thing I had trouble ...

“I like brooding in the rain.” “Also: mourning the death of my parents.”
