I think this week of assignments went really well. I feel like I did a good job to stay on top of the Daily Creates and complete them all in a short amount of time. I always focus on not spending more than 10 minutes on them and I think it’s helped me understand that...

by Thomas Pulsifer Ever since I started meditating a few years back, I’ve found myself gaining a much greater appreciation for nature’s beauty. I try to meditate about 40 minutes every day, and I encourage anyone reading this to do so as well! While the sights of the outside world are certainly lovely, the thingContinue reading "Another Day, Another Blogpost"

Best Sports Play of the Past Year (IMO)

by @eendip

September 3, 2021

To me, this was the best sports play of the year. The Bucks played great defense on the other side to prevent Devin Booker from winning/tying the game in the final seconds. The Bucks get a steal and convert that into a fastbreak alley-oop “AND-1” (Giannis was fouled on the play but still made the...

September 3, 2021

I don’t really know what point to start off on this topic, but I’ll start by saying this: I hate the negative presence of social media. I have multiple social media accounts and have used different platforms for years. I don’t know if social media has always been like this, but it certainly is the...

It’s not always what one sees in a photo that has the greatest impact on the viewer. Sometimes, it is what is just outside of shot, obviously not included, but forces the mind to create the story. Just as the moon is shadowed by the tree and cloud cover, the guest at this soirée are …

the new girl towel scene

September 3, 2021

This assignment was very entertaining. It said to make an animated .gif of “something pop-culture centric.” One of the most popular scenes in the tv show New Girl is ‘the towel scene’. In this scene, Schmidt realizes that he and his apartment-mate, Nick, have been using the same towel. I created this gif of the […]

“Name this flower”

September 3, 2021

So I attempted one of the visual assignments. This one asks you to give this flower a name. I think it’s only right that I go with “Rosschild.” When I first saw it, Bob Ross immediately came to mind. Although I don’t know why he came to mind, to me, the name just fits the...

Live your life! You’re free; be free!

For my third creative assignment, I chose a prompt from the audio category. Submitted by Drake Dragone, it was titled “Make Noise From A Normal Sample”. The concept here was to take a recognizable song, sound, what have you, and turn it into some unrecognizable noise. I really liked the potential of this idea, especially […]

The moment I saw this visual assignment I knew I had to do it. I was inspired by the original image of JFK in the assignment photo. I pass by one of the Kennedy’s old homes in Georgetown all the time and here is a photo of me in the same spot in front of the house, right where John F. Kennedy was. I edited my photo to be black and white and then made it a bit more grainy … Continue reading "Assignment Posts for Week Two"

by Thomas Pulsifer The number of assignments to choose from in the Assignment Bank is pretty overwhelming, but when I saw Jonah Helbling’s assignment to build a house in Minecraft, I couldn’t resist.

For my last assignment of the week, I decided to choose one from the Mashup Assignments called ‘Animoji Karaoke‘. The assignment is to lip-sync to a song using an animoji. I love music, and this seems fun, so I had to do it. I used the unicorn animoji and lip-synced to “God is a woman” …
