When we started talking about the idea of using an 80s theme, I thought about how it might seem like an alien and ancient land, and wondered about artifacts. What might be strange yet familiar? What might be inexplicable? What … Continue reading →

This was our final week for CPSC 106 for the summer. I’ve gotta say, I have really enjoyed being able to creatively express myself through different forms of media and learn different techniques that I have been otherwise afraid of trying.

Draco failed to kill Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Why is this so bad? Because Voldemort ordered him to […]
