This is my crazy yorkie named Mufasa.  He is 3 years old and the most rambunctious dog I have ever had in my 21 years of life.  He likes being up high which is what makes him climb on top of everyone whenever we take a car ride.  He naps and sunbathes and is always […]

Archives Well we made it to the end of our second week, congrats! I know for me, it was a little bit of a wake up call as far as the amount of work there was. However, I made it without struggling too much so I know I’ll be okay as the workload continues to increase. The first order of business this week was to help plot the course. I was assigned to the photography/visual category. I came up with an example I liked and the reasoning behind it:  I feel like this is a great example for the secret […]

Gratitude is an essential characteristic to have. It allows you to have a positive outlook on life instead of a negative outlook. I am usually a very negative person and I don’t tend to look at the positives in my life. I wanted to do this exercise to help myself learn gratitude and understand that …

The goal of the assignment is to make a missing person poster for a fictional movie/show/literary character, animal, or real person. Of course for this one, I made a missing person poster for one of my favorite fictional characters, Annabella Smith. Instead … Continue reading Gone Girl

When Scooby Doo and Twitter at the center of my homework for the week, I know it’s going to be a fun week. And it was, but I feel like I left a lot on the table. Given better resources, I feel like I could have made the things I made just a little better. …

This week was more difficult for me than last week. I felt like I had a lot more questions about what I needed to do, as well as felt that some of the assignments were more complex than I had originally thought. School work in other classes was really building up this week and I …

This one wasn’t easy, despite having only two stars. Finding the right photo was hard enough, but finding a good quote was even tougher. Even though it’s not a very well known spy movie, the movie “Spy” (clever name) had the best quote I could find, which came from Melissa McCarthy. I chose my favorite …

I found week two to be more enjoyable because of the increased and positive community interactions I had with other students, particularly on Twitter. Below are the three daily creates I made, along with one classmate’s tweet I replied to which ended up resulting in a minor discussion about their process for an assignment they … Continue reading "Mission Check-In: Week 2 Summary"

For my second assignment, I decided to do the Google History Maps Web Assignment. Here I’ve created a rough map of the path of Alexander the Great using Google Maps’ MyMaps tool. The MyMaps tool doesn’t give an HTML code or a file to embed, so I’ve included the following link and a screenshot: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WhFuQvcJIa5lWYwQQDtGPQKk5YE&usp=sharing […]

For my first Audio Assignment, I completed “What A Song Might Mean to You” (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/what-a-song-might-mean-to-you/). For this assignment, I had to chose a song which reminded me of something meaningful or significant, then create an audio recording discussing this. I wanted to pick a song which had personal significance for me, and also portrayed a … Continue reading "“Happy” Song Meaning and Interpretation"

Dead bodies, thats whats in the back of the van. Scooby doesnt seem so cute now does he? #tdc1846 @ds106dc — Michael Ryan (@mjryanonline) January 27, 2017

Okay, so I went a bit overboard with this one. I found this assignment in the Audio section of the Assignment Bank. Here’s the link: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/spooky-dialogue/ (thanks Jason Nemeth!) And here’s the assignment description: “Create a track of surreal or scary dialogue. Use an audio editing program like Audacity to record your voice, then layer it with […]

Today’s Daily Create was to put yourself, and if you feel adventurous, one or more other people, in the Mystery Machine. You can find the wacky assignment here: http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1846/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Ok, so you all know about the Mystery Machine. But, what do you know about me riding with Jesus in the Mystery Machine. @ds106dc My latest wretched creation […]

For my first Writing Assignment, I chose to complete a “TV Guide Remix” (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/tv-guide-remix/). The goal of the assignment is to approach an existing film or show by shifting the characterization of the story and plot as significantly as possible with a TV/movie synopsis of one to two sentences. In generating my initial idea, I … Continue reading "“The Little Mermaid”: A Psychological Thriller Synopsis"

The first assignment I decided to do for the course was the “Subtitle GIF” assignment. I’ve seen tons of subtitled GIFs on Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, pretty much everywhere. Some of them are good, some of them aren’t. The first thought I had when I saw this particular assignment was, “Oh, I’ve seen that lots of times. […]

For this week’s mission itinerary, I decided to complete the Visual Assignment “Pop Star Out of Place” (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/pop-star-out-of-place/). In creating my concept, I attempted to juxtapose a pop star with a spy-themed setting to match our semester’s missions, and I thought a James Bond backdrop was a natural fit for this goal. However, I had … Continue reading "Agent Swift, Cyber-Security Analyst"

This week was my very first for plenty of DS 106 assignments. It was also my first set of daily creates! I started it up with some dog propaganda, learned how to print a youtube video (honestly had to google what that was), and made a fun book mashup. So far really digging the daily […]
