Week 1 Summary
Daily Creates I would have to say that this bootcamp week wasn’t too rough. I already had twitter, wordpress, and soundcloud accounts. Flickr and gravatar were easy to join and operate, though YouTube was a headache. I had to go through and validate 3 different emails before I could do anything. The biggest headache … Read More → -
Week One of DS106
Well it’s Sunday, so the first week of DS106 is officially coming to an end! This week I learned about what noir actually is. I had always known about what characteristics classified something as “noir” but I just didn’t know it. I never knew that the specific features actually came together and had a name. … Continue reading Week One of DS106 -
Week 1 Summary: Bootcamp Complete!
PHEW! Between the going-on-7 posts, 3 Daily Creates, 1 Assignment, approximately 45 tweets & retweets (#DS106 #4life), and fifty Facebook messages via which I helped out a fellow DS106er (whilst being ever so rudely interrupted by a dang fire drill ), my fingers have never gotten such a workout! But I made it through bootcamp, guys,...

DS106 BootCamp Week
Hello my name is Tyler Daig and this week was sort of a struggle for me. As the long winter break ended and the beginning of a new semester started, there is so much excitement and headaches that occur.

Noir is the New (Old) Black.
My final mission in order to complete DS106 Bootcamp was to learn about noir, which is more commonly known as “film noir”. “Noir” is the French word for “black” and is very fitting to describe this style of story telling found within many movies of the 40s and 50s. Note that I purposefully used the word “style” is...

Weekly Summary 1
This week has been one of learning new skills and affirming old knowledge. Even though I grew up with technology, that doesn’t mean I know how to use it. When your father is an engineer, you can let him deal with your technical problems. Until, of course, you go... -
Ending to first week
This week was very interesting. I have never made any of the social media that we need for this class. Twitter has to be one of the hardest things to use. I don’t get what people are saying or how they find things in it. I know that Twitter will be something that I will […] -
Noir Example: Carmen Jones
After thinking long and hard about what example of Noir I could use, I kept coming back to just one idea. I had the thought of the early 2000s computer game “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” stuck in my head. So, naturally, I turn to Google to see if this is an idea … Continue reading Noir Example: Carmen Jones -
On The Subject of Noir
Noir is more of a style than a genre. It’s not entirely its own but not entirely something else either. It brings together much darker themes, lighting and characters to […] -

The Daily Create Assignment for Sunday, 1-18-2015 was to take a photo of an animal doing something funny, kooky, suspicious, or odd. I have an adorable (I am biased) shih-tzu named Ella who is oh so cooperative and loves to let anybody mess with her. She will wear anything. She wears bows, rain boots, a rain […] -

The Daily Create: Francesca the Fobot
The Daily Create Assignment for Thursday, 1-15-2015 was to create a fobot. What is a fobot? Well I used my resources to find out. I went on twitter and discovered through the hashtag #tdc the different variations of what a fobot could be. I was still confused, so I looked at some past fobot creations. […] -
Week One – Keep on, Keepin’ on!
Wow!! — Considering I joined this class super late into the first week of the semester, I could tell I was in for a treat when Professor Bond sent me the email saying I better get started because everything is due by 12 on Sunday. At first, I was extremely overwhelmed by the amount of … Continue reading Week One – Keep on, Keepin’ on! -
Welcome to my Brain
Hello ya’ll! My name is Amanda Layton. I am a biology major and commuter at Mary Wash. As I begin to introduce myself, I think it is super important to put a face with a name — especially when it comes from someone who is sitting behind a computer screen. As awkward as “selfie videos” … Continue reading Welcome to my Brain -
