Our friend Thomas noticed the Godzilla trend that seems to be coming up in ds106. It was unexpected, but I wholeheartedly approve. So I had this idea that felt like it might work. I had previously found a transcription of … Continue reading ?

For this writing assignment, I chose to write a poem (three stars). However, I was also inspired by another post (also three stars) which used a random word generator as a basis of the content. I decided to do a blend of these topics, taking ten words from the random word generator and attempting to […]

For this writing assignment, I chose to Up-Goer Five my writing. This was a fun and difficult one.

Another exciting week in DS106. This week focused primarily on writing, and began with a few readings and videos on how to create a story using digital mediums.

I know, I know. It’s serious. One of my favorite novels is Girlfriend In A Coma (1998) by Douglas Coupland, named after The Smiths song. As I was considering what story I would like to revisit, this was pretty much the first thing that popped into my head. I first read it the summer after […]

This week saw me completing three assignments for the Daily Create. The first assignment was to create an image that showed the beginning and end of something.

I obtained more of an understanding of Digital Storytelling, especially when reading, The New Digital Storytelling: Creating Narratives with New Media (Storytelling for the Twenty-First Century). This reading allowed me to understand how […]

For this writing assignment, I chose Haiku Recipe (three stars). As the title suggests, the prompt was to write a complete recipe in haiku form without skipping any essential steps.

A quick review of James Gunn’s THE Suicide Squad

September 10, 2021

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was my most anticipated film of the year. Seeing the original Suicide Squad desperately try (and fail) to be Guardians of the Galaxy was an abysmal experience, so seeing that Warner Bros. had actually hired the director of Guardians for the sequel had me […]

For this writing assignment, I chose A Story In Alphabet (three stars). It involved telling a story using words in alphabetic order, however, I ended up creating less of a narrative and more of a progression of thoughts that I hope tracks logically. The biggest challenge was getting started and finding a concept that was […]

As Bob could discern, everyone found goodness hidden inside. Jolly kindness let men notice, observe, paint. Quite readily soldiers transfer unfriendly veneer, welcoming xenia, your zeda. This is not so much a story so much as a free verse poem. I thought this assignment would be a grand old time because, my high school improv […]
