    “Is the weekend here yet?” or “So much to learn too little time”

    by
    I have been channeling my inner Bob Ross all week, and after that GIF assignment, I need to remind myself that sometimes we all run into problems, which is just part of the creative flow. This week was great however, I learned a lot with my programming classes and #ds106! This week’s daily creates were a lot of fun, and I especially liked the AI art generator one. The tweet suggested a website that did not work very well for me. For anyone interested, this is the alternative site that I used. My favorite assignment this week was making a…

The Printers are coming to take over the digital art landscape, no one can escape! I wanted to write a short little song in a minor key.

    What’s the big deal – Privacy on the Web

    by
    I was particularly interested in this web assignment because I love technology! For the first half of the work, I was asked to count the number of open-source programs on my computer. I am a Computer science major, and I am also studying cybersecurity. The laptop I use for my daily tasks has Ubuntu Linux for its operating system. As a result, most of my programs are open source. However, I think the author of this assignment may be confused as to what the opposite type of program is called. Closed source software means that a company or individual does…
