University of Michigan baseball team in 1900 pic.twitter.com/zbO93SKAJS — Hannah Bruns (@hannahbruns7) March 25, 2017 In 1900, the University Michigan had their first baseball team. Individually, they were all great players. However, they had trouble coming together at the beginning of the season. Eventually, they got themselves ... Read more

This was a very cool assignment. Daniel did a great job finding this and making it into an assignment. It really made me think more than I ever have about how computers work and where computer science could go. I also liked how when you turn the volume on, there is a voice reading what … Continue reading Google Draw Something

Archives This was an interesting  assignment for me. Changing the design of a webpage without changing the original? Not exactly something I’ve ever done before! However, after I downloaded X-Ray Goggles and did some playing around, it ended being kind’ve fun. All the advice I found said to use  simple sites like an Amazon sale page or a Craigslist add so thats where I started. I decided it would be fun to sell goats on Craigslist. I found a very basic from the Athens, Georgia area and created a crazy little story. I kept the original pictures (those babies are […]

This week started off with live listen in to the radio shows everyone worked so hard on the last two weeks. I was very impressed by the variety of shows people had created and that each show was so difficult. I was proud of how my groups show went (even if listening again I found […]

Deciding what projects have been the best so far was incredibly difficult. There have been lots of really cool and interesting projects that I have gotten to see and I’m sure some I missed as well! I try to frequently go through the site and check to see what people are up to but sometimes […]

This was a super awesome assignment. I went into this with a little hesitation, because I have never done any kind of coding, but I learned how to do this quicker than I thought I would. It’s really user-friendly for people like me who aren’t really computer-science oriented. The writing for each listing was time-consuming, … Continue reading Kale is the Worst

The first daily create that I really liked was created by Alex Brown. I thought the picture was really intriguing. You can see the woods way in the distance over the bridge. Another reason I thought this was a great picture is because of the way it converges in the distance. @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1890 Over …

This assignment was pretty fun. I had done something similar before but this one is now connected to the spy theme. This one predicts what sort of spy you are, either a badass or a weird one. The badass being more like Jason Bourne and the weird one is equal to Johnny English.  The quiz …

This is a game on google that is similar to Draw Something. You attempt to draw a picture that you’re told to and Google will guess it if the picture is accurate enough! This was really surprising to me because it worked so well. Here’s the game.

This one immediately grabbed my attention just for the fact that you can tell he put a lot of work into this, he definitely paid attention to detail.  Also, instead of going with the tradition spaceship model he went with something unique and interesting to look at! @ds106dc prospective design for an EmDrive ship to […]

Archives What is a vacation? I haven’t had a real one in so long! However, I’ve always wanted to travel to southern Europe and the Mediterranean coast and this assignment was the perfect excuse to do a little research/planning. I love all the things you can find on Pinterest and boy did I get a lot of ideas! Unfortunately….I’m pretty sure it would take me about a year to do everything I want to do there! Ideally, I would start out in Moracco, hit Portugal and Spain, then travel along the coasts of France, Italy and Greece, then sailing across […]

  These photos ebrace elements of what I want my dream room to be like! I like lighter colors like white, light pink, and gray because they are clean colors and I like the way those colors are in the sunlight. To add onto that, I would like wonderful, large windows to let light in. ... Read more

I had a blast creating Pikachu’s résumé especially because I literally grew up with Pokémon and Pikachu was my favorite. At first, I did not know what to write because I never thought about Pikachu having a job. Because Pokémons are similar to pets, we don’t usually think of them as having any jobs other than just living. I then …

I really liked that that they went with an interview type of feel for their show, and how everyone had a different role.  It wasn’t just everyone being a part of the action but the people who work the background to help the agents that take on the active role.  I enjoyed how they transitioned […]

The Google Draw Something assignment was definitely one of my favorites so far. I love messing around with neural networks, especially Google’s experiments (like their dream image generator). It’s actually a really cool feeling to have fun and mess around while actually contributing to science and technology. It didn’t get all of them right, but it […]

A fun little exercise!! Here are my creations. I made these six doodles. A neural network guessed all of them correctly. #aiexperiments #quickdraw https://t.co/t9OmjhsXxt — Hannah Bruns (@hannahbruns7) March 24, 2017

The three best assignments I saw in recent work was Hobby, Eenie Meenie, and Ghost. I really enjoyed Hobby because it was video games, which I love playing! It’s always nice to find new games and peoples perspectives and reasons they like the games. I actually watch a lot of YouTube videos of people gaming, … Continue reading "The Best of the Best"

Archives Designing my dream rooms?! This assignment could not have come at a better time! I’m moving into a new apartment in a few weeks so this really called out to me when I came across it. I always need decorating ideas! Not to mention, I’m a Pinterest addict so what better excuse to spend even more time on one of my favorite websites! I started by creating a board specifically for the assignment. Then…well I resurfaced about 2 hours later with quite a selection! Going back through my choices, i definitely noticed I color scheme I leaned towards. Greys, […]

This week went well. I was a little worried at first that that the web remix assignment would be a little difficult. But it was actually pretty simple and fun to do! I used the X-ray googles tool to edit and create my page. For the Web design projects I decided to do the Dream …

Every week the ds106 community had to do several assignments that would correspond with week whether it be digital, web, writing, etc. These assignments allow people to show their creativity. I love to just scroll through the main ds106 site to see what my fellow classmates submit and it never submits to amaze me. I […]

This week, I listened to Agents on Air, one of the radio shows created by my classmates. You can stream the full show below: There were some aspects of this radio show that I thought were done really well, and some aspects I thought left some room for improvement (although, all our shows probably had some […]

Man, I feel like if it wasnt for this class, I would not realize how much time has past since the beginning of the semester. Now to the good stuff. This week I started out by doing a stepworks story because it seemed like a cool idea. I took the first couple of lines of … Continue reading "Week 9 Summery"

This assignment was pretty cool. As a CS major, I end up downloading a lot of neat things for classes, or someone in a class mentions something that is open source that I should get. How many open source programs do I currently have? Currently on my computer I have Firefox, R, Paintbrush, GIMP, Audacity, VLC, …

So I listened to the Cloak and Dagger radio show. This was the only show that I had time to listen to unfortunately but it was enough to compare to own work and ways of going about things. The overall sound of the show was decent but not consistent. Volumes were the biggest issue, as … Continue reading "Radio Show Reactions"

So the main assignment for this week was to write a story using the web I usedMozilla X-Ray Goggles tool to complete the project. I wanted to try and pick a website I did not think a lot of people would pick but also one that was not completely obscure. So I decided to remix the […]

Here is the new version of my Google page: Google remixed I first figured out a way to use X-ray Goggles by dragging the button directly onto bookmarks toolbar. Then, after visiting the most popular search engine, Google, I clicked on all of the texts that I can change. I could not change the main “Google,” however, since it was …

This week, we had to go look through past assignments people have done and try and find the best of ds106. “best” is pretty subjective so I am going to have a few criteria for what I will categorize as being best. This is a criteria created just for this class though. So for an … Continue reading "Best of ds106"

For my web re-design I decided to remix a page for the Eco Dot. I liked this project because it was a fun and different project that I got to experience. I decided to recreate the page for the Eco Dot because it actually is like a buddy in a box. All of the points …

Overall, I really enjoyed all the radio shows. I believed that everybody did a great job in creating a radio show. I mean come on these on college who may of not meet each other before coming together to make their very own radio show for the first time. I think that should get a […]
