    Alright, I gotta make this quick because my internet is doing unkind things to me. First, I tried really hard to do my best with tuning into the radio, and I rearranged everything so I would be able to listen Monday night, but that happened to be the night of the fire drill in my building, and I ended up missing a few minutes, which sucks, I was really invested. Anyway, I did my best to keep up and do the post. I also did the daily creates: I did the audio reflection, and honestly Moon Graffiti about made me cry. My FSEM was about counterfactual history so it was right up my alley. That and the bleak tragedy of it, as you can see in my radio show ideas and music from another room assignment. I also did the fairly straightforward humming assignment, and the required radio bumper and story through sound effects assignments. I also did the similar movie scene through sound effects assignment, which I made way harder than it needed to be. I also commented here, here, here, and here. I know this was fairly brief and abrupt, but I need to get this in before my internet goes out again. Peace!

    Another Tour Completed

    Working with audio creatively is not an area Iā€™m particularly experienced in. While I consider myself a huge music guy, always listening to something and coming up with melodies in my head, Iā€™ve never truly taken the time to figure out any programs to actually create something. Iā€™ve played around

    Well, this was a busy week for digital studies to say the least. I started the week off by using audio through my daily create. Then I used my artistic digital skills to create a comedic design. Lastly, I took a picture of myself and made a valentines creation putting my own version of crazy glasses on. For this week it seemed like the most stressful, for absolutely no reason other than we had a lot of work. I actually had a lot of assignments due for other classes as well. I did enjoy these assignments, but it just took up a lot of my time. I went to NYC this weekend so that made me have to be a little reason why I was stressed, but that is okay because I got to see 2 Broadway shows! ā€“ Hadestown and Chicago. Anyways, this week I did a lot with audio. I use Logic Pro because it is a better technology than audacity. Audacity is free and has little to no effects. Logic Pro has a lot more than you can do when it comes to audio effects and editing- for musicians, broadcasters, etc. For this week I did a lot of assignments, but I am fully satisfied with all of my work. If you havenā€™t taken a look at my website in full yet, I have been working on making it look a bit more smooth. Give me some suggestions or what I could do to make it look better, different, or even things you think I should do in general! ?

    Report # 8-2-5-B, Regarding Complexes 1-6, Subject J6

    by
    Report # 8-2-5-B. Subject J6 is revealing curious tendencies, namely fixations on specific subject matters. These fixations change every week with what is now unsurprising regularity. Research Assistant B1R0l admits fully that he was slightly familiar with Subject J6ā€™s most recent fixation: Audio Complexes. This resulted in a renewed vigor in Research Assistant B1R0lā€™s work [ā€¦]

    Wooohoooo!!! I finished the week!

    This week was fun, and I think the essential key to success is to do assignments you like! My daily creates are linked below. My favorite one was about connecting peace, love, and Kaleidoscopes visually. As for the favorite post I made, that had to be this one, with a close runner-up was the song I made. Once I have a better grasp of Logic Pro, Iā€™m sure I will be able to make something much more impressive. I also really enjoyed the ds106radio shows, and I was able to link the radio to my site as well! I wentā€¦

    This week was a bit challenging for me. I have never really edited or produced any type of audio work before. That being said, after I got everything installed on my laptop and learned a little more about Audacity, I was able to create some products that I do not think are too bad.

    Audio Storytelling Reflection As a history nerd, I loved listening to the ā€œMoon Graffitiā€ episode. That was such a great way to tell stories, and to make these stories come to life. As I was listening, I got literal chills from their use of narration and sound effects/music. I am definitely going to check out ...

    As usual, this week was another exciting, creative, and incredible experiences in this class. Graphic design is a passion of mine, especially when it comes to logo design and creating flyers and posters. Back in high school, I created the logo used by Rappahannock Aviation Outreach, which was essentially the

    This week was exhausting, mostly because Iā€™m not as comfortable taking pictures as I am writing, so I stressed about it more and had to do some things multiple times because I wasnā€™t happy with the results the first time. At least I had the Daily Creates that were more focused on getting something out there than worrying about what exactly the ā€œsomethingā€ was. I started the week with a reflection on my current photography skills. Safe to say, I didnā€™t know how much I didnā€™t know. Over the course of the week, I tried out some new styles and focused on all the things that make a good photo good. The Photoblitz was actually a lot of fun. I really enjoyed doing it and got some neat shots out of the prompts. The stars were a lot of work. I started with an almost entirely different set of prompts that I switched out one by one because I realized I didnā€™t have a clue how I would answer them. ā€œLarger Than Lifeā€ is the only one that stuck through. (It was also the easiest, I wonder if thereā€™s a correlation?) I also did ā€œThatā€™s Not What I Expected,ā€ ā€œApocalypse Training Camp,ā€ ā€œSwitch Up The Mood,ā€ and ā€œSpot The Difference.ā€ I felt a little limited because it was raining pretty hard while I was trying to do these so I was more or less confined to my dorm, but I made it work and did my best with what I had. I would also like to say that my classmates are better than I am, and I commented here, here, here, here, here, and here. For now, I am exhausted and would like to go to sleep. Toodles!

    Whew, Iā€™m glad this week is almost over, but it seems like the assignments are neverending this semester!This week was fantastic, I like working with all the photos, especially over the writing topic, but there seems to be a lot of that in these posts. The thing I enjoyed most this week was seeing all the creative posts everyone else has come up with! The daily creates this week were not that bad. I enjoyed making the cross-type animal card, although I didnā€™t quite get the resolution the way that I wanted. It still turned out fine! I also enjoyedā€¦
