For one of the Web assignments this week, I created a Buzzfeed personality quiz about some of the weirdest rulers from Early Modern Europe. This assignment definitely warranted its star rating. I’ve taken a ton of Buzzfeed personality quizzes, and despite how much crap they get, this gave me a new appreciation for how hard […]

For this assignment, I took a web story page and recreated it to a children’s rhyme song. The recreating process was not too difficult as I followed the tutorial video. I used Google Excel sheet to write out the words that I wanted to be in the video, and these replaced the already existing ones. I then published this sheet …

This assignment was to edit the web contents to create a story. We were to use Mozilla’s X-Ray Goggles tool to edit and manipulate the page’s code to make a story. This tool edits the HTML code in the web page and lets you mess around and edit the text. A direct link to the …

I chose LOGAN has my movie since it’s the newest favorite movie of mine (Previously it was Django Unchained) since I was super hyped over an R-rated Wolverine film with Jackman & Stewart’s final appearance as Logan/Wolverine and Professor X, respectfully. I usually do not see movies more than once and while I have not […]

For my second web assignment, I decided to do a personal search engine. To start off, I got x-ray goggles and did a mini tutorial with it. I just want to note that the tutorial is not helpful at all. I decided I wanted to do a spy-themed search engine and went off to google and … Continue reading ""

For this assignment, I used X-Ray Goggles to manipulate a search result for ‘butterfly’, injecting some humor about they think they’re the best thing since sliced bread, and discussing how their etymology is derivative from a foreign language verb meaning “spawn of Satan”. I had fun with this assignment, finding the process not excruciatingly difficult … Continue reading "Butterfly Storytelling Within the Web"

For this two-point web assignment, I choose to look through a years-long archive of Youtube site records to compare the changes which took place during that time. Shown below, I narrowed the range to between 2012 and 2017, emphasizing a major design revamp on the site in 2013 which is still a prevalent design choice … Continue reading "Way Back Youtube Time Machine"

I found this 2-star assignment easy and fun to complete! I got Google to understand four of my six drawings, but I doubt I could have gotten it to guess Cow and Zebra even if I had double the time (Since I wouldn’t have sketched a figure close to either of the references Google showed … Continue reading "Google Draw Something"

For this 4 star assignment, I was instructed to create a Pinterest board of items I’d desire for my ‘dream room’. The board is provided below, followed by some of my wish-list selections. I’d personally love to have a studio apartment with a wall-length mirror perfect for dancing in my free time, in addition to … Continue reading "Dream Room"

I answered 5 questions from video 1 and 1 question from video 2 and 3. I liked the answers I gave and tried to stay in character for a majority of it. My dogs started barking half way through so I kind of merged it together with the video lol. I wrote the questions down […]

Based on the events of the opera “Tosca”, Tosca races to her precious Cavaradossi after he pretends to die from a feigned firing-squad style execution when a murder has actually been committed by Tosca herself. She lowers her hand to give him a participation badge for his impressive acting, pausing as no movement follows. @ds106dc … Continue reading "Connected Daily Creates"

For my the listening portion of the assignment, I decided to write about Agents on Air because it had the coolest name. Unfortunately, due to my work schedule, I could not listen to the shows live, but I caught up with a few after. I really liked how the first agent introduced herself, and the … Continue reading "Radio Listen"

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/product-review/ (3 stars -> 11/10 for week) This video assignment involves reviewing a product in your house, so I chose my PlayStation 4 since I just made a video demoing a game.

At first I didn’t know how to actually film this but remembered my phone has a camera! Yeah I don’t use my phone very much other than […]

As secret agents much of what we do is about deception and blending in to gain information. At least much of what I do certainly fits in that category. As all agents know the stakes are high in the intelligence community and one wrong move… well there are different outcomes possible but none of them […]

For this assignment I hand to go through the history of DS106 and find an old assignment that I could redo and make my own. I decided to go with the assignment “Love is Something You Can’t Live a Day Without” from the DS106 fall 2016 course. I first found this assignment by googling #ds106 …

What another great week. It was so cool to hear all the radio shows that were made in the pas two weeks. I did a critique of Sexpionage and just wrote down some of my thought on what could make it better and what was done well. I also tried to to the web remix … Continue reading Week 9 Summary

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/sixteen-year-old-me/ (4 stars) I did a video assignment about talking to your teenage self from years ago and basically the clip is all you need to really know about how I was in the short version. I was extremely unmotivated to do anything in High school due to moving around a lot as a kid […]

Since the images would not show up, I took some screen shots to show what I did. I have walked into stores many times knowing that they don’t have security systems. They are thousands of dollars. I see the signs hanging up and realize a lot of people probably think it is for real. So … Continue reading Web Remix of Amazon

I loved this assignment! It was super fun for me because I enjoy browsing Pinterest on my spare time and getting ideas for my dream home (since I’m 22 and will be on my own and starting a family soonish). I have pretty simple taste. I like things to look nice and neat but also …

Although I had read people’s blog posts about their shows listening to them was a completely different expierence. Cloak and Dagger […]

The year is 1900. One of my favorite things to do is imagine what the future is like. Where cats are smarter than dogs. Maybe, even one day, a woman will run for president. But I am sure in the 2000’s a woman will hold much more power then we do now. She will make … Continue reading Daily Create Story- Week 9
