Zombies, Zombies…Everywhere!
One of the requirements for ds106 was to create a new assignment for the DS106 Assignment Repository.

Sir Remix-a-Lot
A mentor of mine told me there is nothing new under the sun. This is something I’ve lived by throughout my career since that point. Ideas are often created, recreated, or remixed from something that already existed. Our innovations, advances, creations, and knowledge are derivative of something else or somethings else.
