 This is a squirrel’s point of view while he is hanging upside down.  I turned over a picture from my trail cam.  Other than rotating the picture I didn’t do anything to it.  For some reason the light and camera angle did the rest.

 This assignment required you to create a signature symbol that represents your personality type.  I have a strong since of justice and believe that everyone should be heard.

For this challenge I poked a little fun at today’s political environment. If we can’t laugh at ourselves we will go crazy. I created this with Microsoft Publisher. None of the news is real, it’s just stuff I made up from my observations of people and events, so please don’t have a melt down or […]

To save space in the shoe store Nike and Adidas have merged. This merger will also save you time while shopping for your next pair of running shoes since you now have one less choice. I don’t really enjoy shopping, so less shopping is better for me. This is a 4.5 star assignment in the […]

I combined the Michelin man with rubber maid.  I did this because he’s made of rubber.

This week was a vary trying week. It became very complicated when I decided to lump all of my projects into one lump radio broadcast over a streaming sight called Spreaker. I think however it was fruitful endeavor. During the coarse of this week I ran into every problem imaginable from booking problems to software […]

Well, here is a run-down on how this week went. Not going to lie, I was a littler nervous about this week. Just because I really don’t like working with the sound of my own voice really.

For this post I decided to combine all the elements of the assignments into one large radio broadcast. I was un-able broadcast over the ds106 radio server. This was a difficult obstacle to overcome. We did it. Part of the difficulty was getting talent and songs for the show. I seemed to spend a few […]

in this assignment we were to select a page from the comic book Tails from the Crypt. The title was “The Last Laugh” http://comics.ha.com/itm/memorabilia/tales-from-the-crypt-38-last-laugh-complete-story-silverprint-group-ec-1954-total-6-items-/a/121313-10421.s# I thought the part with the fat man telling about his gag of throwing meat onto the tracks to scare the kids would be a good place to add some ambient […]

Sure they didn’t have speakers back in the day but think about it. Imagine sitting in a dusty theater or even sitting around […]

For this assignment we had to listen to the podcast “Moon Graffiti” I thought this was a well put together story. It always seems to cool to see and hear alternate reality’s fictions.

The Last Laugh didn’t really draw me in. I guess because it looked like a comic book and had no sound. I really did not get any kind of emotional attachment to it.  For a matter of fact I was just hoping to get to the end of the story. I suppose it reached some […]

For an assignment this week, we had to make a radio bumper for DS106 radio! I thought this was going to be harder than it actually was. It was fun to experiment with all of the settings and see what I could some up with. I used a voice morpher called “MorphVOX Pro” to make … Continue reading →

https://soundcloud.com/jonathan-mitchell-1/the-truth-moon-graffiti Today I listened to Moon Graffiti.  What an interesting twist to the Apollo missions and a twist to the story.  I wonder how different the last 40+ years would be had the events actually followed the story.  What technologies would we have now? Would the space race have ended? It’s very interesting to listen […]

This assignment was really fun! I am going to let my story do the talking: Thanks, Eddie! Remember kids, do not drink and drive! Just listen to the video up above, and remember that that can happen to anyone.
