Currently we’re going through the four possible futures presented by Bryan Alexander, with bulletpoints by Professor Lockman in class. How will the infrastructure of schools have changed by 2022, and what effect will it have … Continue reading »

      So, what stood out the most for me in the first five paragraphs of the reading was the term creative citizenship, and the sentence it goes with: “...higher education largely failed to empower the strong and effective imagination that students need for creative citizen ship in this new medium.” I’ve never heard this term … Continue reading »

    A very simple assignment this time around – I originally thought about doing something video related, but realized I wouldn’t have time to edit it together before the deadline tomorrow… so here we are! The assignment this time is the Photo It Like Peanut Butter assignment from the visual category – which I believe I haven’t … Continue reading »

    March 12, 2012
    Okay so, to preface this I haven’t actually written fiction in however long it’s been since the last time I had a fiction assignment in high school, and the same goes for fanfiction, and so this feels awkward publishing. But this section is all about doing assignments in categories outside of your comfort zone – … Continue reading »

    March 5, 2012
    During this new section of Cyberspace and Society, we’ve been prompted to try to do each DS106 assignments from a different category because some student – aka me – have a tendency of just sticking to one category – aka my beloved design category. So, I spent a bit of time throughly browsing all the options … Continue reading »

    So, I know Professor Lockman was talking about us branching out into the other categories when choosing assignments, but I had this one in mind from before so I decided to go through with it anyway! Might as well make the most of it before we change the requirements before the next section, right? Take … Continue reading »

      Create a film-based book cover using the aesthetic framed by Spacesick   Now, this isn’t nearly as minimalist and thought out as the original ‘I Can Read Movies’ image series by Spacesick, but I figured I’d give my own spin on it. I did a few tests where I tried to do something closer … Continue reading »

    Since for the next section of our class we’re putting an emphasis on inforgraphics, I figured it was as good a time as any to mention one of my favorite sites for the past few years: Information Is Beautiful They mayke, yeah, beautiful inforgraphics that combine being informative with being visual appealing and easy to … Continue reading »

    January 28, 2012
    Today started with an earthquake and ended with a headache. Today’s short-lived outing went to Shimokitazawa, to see the annual tengu-matsuri for the second year in a row. My shots from last year were nicer than the ones I’m left with this year, but I blame the headache! In fact the last photo in last year’s … Continue reading »

    It’s been a week since I posted my first photo for the Stranger Portraits assignment. (At this rate, I’m sure it will actually take me another five weeks to finish ><) Anywho, as a refresher, here’s the assignment description: Take a portrait of a total stranger each day for 7 days. Try to capture their image in … Continue reading »

    Despite the great amount of time it took, I really enjoyed doing the past ds106 I did – the Minimalist Travel Poster for Yubaba’s bathhouse in Spirited Away. So I decided to do another similar assignment! These Are for the Minimalist TV/Movie Poster assignment. I found this assignment a bit by chance while googling for … Continue reading »

    There’s really no point to this post other than go OMG LOOK SNOW! I got out of class at 8PM yesterday, scurried over the train station without an umbrella (pssh, I have a scarf.) Thirty minutes later I got out at my station, and it had started to snow. It amuses me that the Japanese … Continue reading »

    Since I haven’t really been able to keep up with the Stranger Portraits assignment like I wanted to, I felt I should take the time to at least make a submission for one of the other assignments in stead. This is one that I had my eye in early one while browsing the ds106 database: … Continue reading »

    I was late for class today, but still arrived in time to hear the professor’s talk about plagiarism and crediting your sources. Still a little scattered from rushing to school and having numerous elbows jabbed into the side of my ribs and lungs on the Namboku line, I didn’t comment when one student asked about … Continue reading »

    So yesterday morning I was trying to do my first ds106 assignment and I realized there was one fundamental flaw to my attempt to do the “Return to the Scene of the Crime” assignment: the photo I had brought with me (because it’s one of the few printed photos I have) was shot with my … Continue reading »

    I sometimes wish I were a cat. Actually, no, I very rarely do – but ‘sometimes’ sounds better for an opening than ‘I might have once or twice when I was really stressed have wished that I was a cat.’ Anyway. Cats. The internet has a bizarre fascination with cats, which I know of only … Continue reading »

    We were supposed to write something proper on our thoughts about the internet. I think. And I didn’t, hah. Let’s be honest, I take the internet for granted, as a given. My dad jokes that I go through withdrawals whenever I’m without internet for more than a few hours. (Let me just point out that capitalizing … Continue reading »
