    5ever: A dramatic reading

    by
    This assignment was tricky to do. Not so much because of the fact that I had to pick something to read dramatically but because I get tons of background noise because I have to use the built in microphone on my computer. The assignment was to read something in a dramatic fashion. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/over-dramatic-reading/ I chose ...

    You’ll Never win this contest

    by
    For the first audio assignment, I decided to tackle The Contest that nobody could win. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/the-contest-nobody-could-win/ The info and other submissions can be found here. It was a pain choosing 6 different tracks to add. A lot of the tracks I would have preferred to use were not in a compatible format to import to ...

    The Daily Create Roundup for Week 6 I think.

    by
    Alright, time for the daily create round up. This week was just 3 different daily creates instead of the soul crushing 7 of the past two weeks. Most of my dailies went up a few days after the day in question because I was pretty busy this week. Can’t wait for spring break. Anyway started ...

    The Sounds of the Wild West

    by
    Today in class we created sound stories, which are stories made up of 5 or more sounds. I was in a wild west mood this week since I’ve been playing Graves the Outlaw in League of Legends. So the sounds I included were a horse trotting, a horse neighing, a bell tolling, foot steps, a ...

    Week 5 Daily Create Roundup

    by
    Dear god, what a busy week this has been.  Tons of design assignments and tons of daily creates and tons of papers and reading.  First off got the week started with the food being served or eaten in an unconventional way. Next was a toy in action. Followed by something to represent how old we ...

    Street Fighter!?

    by
    I decided to take a crack at that  Spreadsheet Invasion.  This was another time consuming project since I had to draw the scenes, grab a screenshot and then put together the movie. I decided to try and do a scene from Street Fighters since I like that game.  I came out okay, kind of hard ...

    Design Assignment: Invoice

    by
    For this design assignment, we had to create an invoice from a movie, tv show or etc. I decided to do an invoice from everyone’s favorite convenience store worker, Apu, to that lovable oaf Homer Simpson. The invoice was fairly easy to create. Tons of templates can be found online for use or you can ...

    Design Assignment: Really Reality TV

    by
    The reality TV assignment looked like a ton of fun so I decided to take a shot. I was both very excited and very worried when I went to the Reality TV show generator and got the title “That’s My Nude.” Sounds like a porno or something was my first thought but then I was ...

    The Daily Create Weekly Recap

    by
    This is the recap for the daily creates for this week. It began with an image of something that you don’t normally see upside down. I took a picture of my living room with my roommate sitting in there and flipped the photo. Next was a place that we lose things in the house/room. I ...

    Visual Assignment: Car Lust

    by
    The last visual assignment I need to get 10 stars. I decided to do the car lust one. The picture I choose to use was of a Z28 Chevy Camaro. Not the most fuel efficient car there is but I’ve always loved the design of the car. It makes me feel like I can go ...

    Visual Assignment: iTunes Poem/Story

    by
    Here’s a poem I wrote using iTunes. It was very difficult because I have over 9000 (haha like the meme) songs. In order to make it look like that I took a screen cap and then my girlfriend got tired of watching me google what to do with the screen cap and gave me a ...

    Visual Assignment: Fat Cat in Famous Art Work

    by
    This one caused me the most problems of the visual assignments that I have done so far. Instead of using a super classical version I decided to go more post modern or something and use Pablo Picasso’s Guernica. I decided to use that because I could then turn the title Guernica into Guernicat, which I ...

    Visual Assignment: An Album Cover

    by
    This visual assignment was about creating an album cover using a random wikipedia page, the last four words of a random quote and a random image from flickr. The band and album title sound like something incredibly indie so I was happy with how that turned out. I choose red as the color for the ...

    Visual Assignment: Troll Quote

    by
    So for the first assignment I decided to do the troll quote. I started out by picking a quote I liked from Mitch Hedberg, slap it on top of a picture of Louis C.K. who is arguable my current favorite comedian and has been since Mitch died and then I attributed the whole thing to ...

    Daily Create: Happy moment

    by
    Don’t remember a happy moment since my memory is kind of crappy. I do like the outside and it makes me happy and most of my happier moments have probably happened outside. So here is my representation of outside. TADA!

    Daily Create: Lost things

    by
    For this daily create we had to take a picture of a place where we lose a lot of things. I decided to go with my pillows since I lose a lot of ideas when I lay my head down on these to go to sleep. I could lose everything I own under my bed ...

    WEB 2.0: The Webbening

    by
    This reading was long. From my understanding the switch from web 1.0 to web 2.0 involved changing the web from a business where companies decide what goes on the web to an ever upgrading service run by the people.  It allows for people to post stuff easily on the web and share information from all ...

    The Daily Create re-hash

    by
    Alrighty, I’ve been posting the Daily creates as I go along but I thought a little recap might help out. First I did a pretty spanking key chain rap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-PqJ-1-h6s Next, I told a joke about two whales walking into a bar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58skTo-zeyY And finally I spun my camera around on by the strap to create a ...

    Assignment 2: Personal Cyberinfrastructure

    by
    Alright I didn’t fully understand everything about the idea of a cyberinfrastructure, nor am I able to spell the word cyberinfrastructure without the assistance of spell check.  What I did take from the video and paper is that the web is being underutilized and people are just willing to accept the tools they are given without question. ...

    ds106: Key Chain for the Daily Create

    by
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-PqJ-1-h6s My submission for the Daily Create on Wednesday, January 25.  It came out better than could be expected, which is incredibly depressing.  Oh well, I’ll bring more mad rhyming skills to the table anyt...
