Tongue Twister
3 Stars I again used Bensound for the background music in this track. I originally had me saying “She sells sea shells by the sea shore” in a sort of flat, monotone way, but as I started listening and playing to the track, I realized that I could change my voice to go along with… -
Radio Bumber
by @abbcass100 September 24, 2019This assingment was fun to make! I followed Kollin’s advice and used Bensound‘s Royalty Free Music for my background music. At the beginning of this assignemnt, I had a hard time figuring out how to change my audio files from M4A to MP3 so that I could edit the tracks in Audacity. I ended up… -
D.C. Sounds
For this assignment, for 4 stars, I did the “Create a Place” audio assignment. We had to mashup a bunch of sounds in order to create a place. For mine, I wanted to choose D.C. because that’s where I spend a lot of time. For the audio, I included a lot of metro door closing … Continue reading "D.C. Sounds" -
That Dragon, Cancer
My thoughts on audio storytelling and an example of why I love storytelling using this medium. -
Nature Walk
Today I shared about my favorite nature picture I took in person! -
Hey Neil, We’re On the Moon
Sound drives the whole story of a movie. When there isn’t sound in an audio clip there isn’t any emotional experience that goes along with it. Sound creates suspense, the feeling of hope, joy, and concern. A movie without any background noise is empty and the emotions don’t come. Audio storytelling is just as important… -
“Nostalgia Check” Radio Show Idea
In the next few weeks, our class is going to start forming groups for our respective radio shows! One of the ideas I was thinking of for a show topic was a “Nostalgia Check”. It could be something where we watch a movie from the 80s and decide if it’s still good by today’s standards. … -

The Effects of Audio Storytelling
Moon Graffiti was a perfect example of audio storytelling. It pulls the listener along to the narrative and helps them create the story in their head. Something that was really interesting that Jad Abumrad said in “How Radio Creates Empathy”, is that what is so great about radio is that since there is the absence … Continue reading "The Effects of Audio Storytelling" -
“Good to go on your radio”
Title borrowed from LL Cool J’s 1985 hit “I Can’t Live Without My Radio” We’re into Audio Week, so I put together a three-hour show, the ds106 Hour, for ds106 radio. What it does is take a random sampling of … Continue reading → -
Roll Your Own
Something you can do at any point in ds106 is add a new assignment. Maybe you don’t like any of the options. Maybe you have an idea and there isn’t anything in the Assignment Bank to go with it. Maybe … Continue reading → -
Caption the 80s
Today I had to find a picture from the 80s and caption it! -
Weekly Summary Four
The trend keeps going with this week being my new favorite week yet. Spending time doing visual editing let me play towards my goofy creative side with some really enjoyable visual assignments. Before that though, I began the week by checking out Telling Stories in Photos. This turned out to be more informative than I… -
Week 4
I created Digital Creates on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I studied 1980’s photography and read about how to use photography to tell a story. I waited to complete any visual assignments until I read these materials so I could complete assignments from a better perspective. But before I read anything I wrote about my take […] -
Let’s Get Creepy, Big Time
With the ever growing acceptance of “nerd” culture, some things become more mainstream and known, like for instance anime. In another rendition of visual assignments I was given the task of bring the classic anime style big eyes to a photo of a not-so-anime person. In keeping with the 80’s theme, who better to make… -
WHERE IS SHE!?!? Pt. II
For those of you who noticed the title of part one was actually a batman quote, to go along with the quote based assignment, you win. Your prize is one big lump of pride, kudos. Since we are on the topic of Batman again, lets roll into our next visual assignment. For this one the… -
WHERE IS SHE!?!?
In this uniquely fun visual assignment I was asked to pick a movie spy/secret agent type character, pair him with the quote of a different but similar spy type character, and place the cherry on top by crediting the quote to yet a third spy type character. If you know nothing about the movie industry,… -
Apocalypse Again?
In the world of visual assignment’s you never quite know what you’re going to get. For this one it wanted me to take some photo from the whole wide world and mess with the hue’s to change it a bit. Afterwards I needed to let the whole flickr world see. Right before starting I was… -
New Dog on the Block
In another adventure of visual assignment’s I needed to create an image of a superhero doing some everyday task. Although it is because the unfortunate passing of my dog recently, I’ve had dog on the brain. Today is one of those days that Alfred took a day to himself so Bats had to do some… -
Chillin’ with Freddie
For today’s visual assignment I needed edit a photo to add myself to a concert I would like to be at. I’ve only been to a few concerts, but I’m certainly not pick when it comes to my music choices. To keep up with the 80’s theme I wanted to make it a concert of… -
Weekly Summary
So as always, I thoroughly enjoyed our daily creates. I love the creativity in them and how I can show a little of who I am to the world. Plus the prompts are pretty fun. For the first one, we had to create our own trend. I took inspiration from another student and decided that ... Read moreWeekly Summary -
Weekly Summary 9/20
This week, I was faced with my biggest fear: Photography! No, I’m just joking. Last week, I was much more comfortable with the writing assignments! However, I actually did learn how to do some cool stuff with photos. I specifically like creating original art I’ve never tried before and editing photos. I like changing pictures … -
Blitzkrieg, Photograph Style
As an activity today I did a photoblitz, where I take 20 minutes to take photos with the goal of completing a list of 7 things. Below is my list of 7 random things to take photos of, but I was only able to finish 6 before my time ran out. Unfortunately there just wasn’t… -
Becoming a Better Photographer
I’d like to start this post off by saying I loved looking at all these photos from the 80s. Okay. Without further ado, let’s analyze some vintage photos! First photo I chose was one that really used perspective to their advantage. Capturing photos from new angles adds a new spin on things, creates a different ...

Checking out the 80’s
Before we embark on this together, I feel the need to remind you of my incompetence when it comes to anything and everything photo related. It is not my expertise, but I am enjoying learning a bit. My analysis my be ignorant or possibly even wrong, but that will just show where I am at… -
Photo Blitz!
My understanding of this assignment was a bit off, but I think I did it! In 20 minutes, I was able to get four photos done! I think I could have gotten more done, but I was really having trouble with the image that required something out of focus. I spent a lot of time ... Read morePhoto Blitz! -
Photo Reflection
I tend to take a lot of photos, especially when I’m traveling somewhere new, hiking, maybe even camping. I like taking pictures of nature to remind myself how gorgeous this world is. I like to focus on lighting, shadows, and perspective mostly to really emphasize a picture. After reading Becoming a Better Photographer, I realized ... Read morePhoto Reflection -
Mister Photographer
Despite the quasi-misleading title, I am in fact completely inept when it comes to all aspects of photography. I’ve always been the type of person to not take any photos and there are even very few with me in them. Although it isn’t really my thing, I have always been able to appreciate them as…
