Sorry for putting all of the progress in one report, but this week has been pretty busy with the Steadfast Sleuths being called up for more cases since the Shannon Mills case. Apparently, someone decided to follow us on one of our cases and record it, not very professional, but Sasha convinced us into giving … Continue reading Busy, Busy Week

Do you know how much John Brown hates to read any books? For this assignment, I decided to show his hate of reading. The assignment called 5 Seconds of Fame (2 points) was to create 5 seconds video. Since it only has to be 5 seconds, I used Vine to complete this assignment. Before I […]

This week, I took sometime to reflect on the special people in my life. I decided to take these memories and make a montage of them using iMovie. I couldn’t find pictures of me per say… But I found images of young girls who’s emotions reflect mine. The people who are important to me have […]

It seems that I am supposed to commenting and giving words of encouragement/criticisms on other members assignments. One of the perks of being a sociopathic psychologist is I have the […]

These collaborations are ridiculous. I work alone. I have always worked alone. I only use people when I don’t want to get my hands dirty. This video production of Noir […]

This was a waste of my time that I could have used following up on clients and planning coincidental “accidents.” So here, can you leave me to my work now?

Well, this has been an interesting week full of new and daunting digital things. I tuned into my first live #DS106Radio broadcast, which was a bit of a debacle, but we can’t blame Groom for that, right Burtis? List of weird things I must learn about this week: "tape deck", "e-mail", "Google doc" … #ToBeContinued ... Read more

Disclaimer: All photography and granny creds go to Humans of New York. I simple took creative liberty, like these Daily Creates tend to have us do. Take the time to talk to a stranger. You never know how it might impact your life.

I took on a third job this week, and it is certainly full-time! I entered the ds106 world and am not looking back.

For this interview I used a combination of the professor’s and Black’s questions to use. I think it was a good way to let people know more about myself and who I am. Hopefully my wife doesn’t see this or she might get a little jealous of Lena. Another reason I wanted to do this … Continue reading DS106 Interview

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/survival-video/ (four and a half stars) For this assignment I had to make a video of how to survive something.

The assignment called Inanimate Motion (3 points) was to make an inanimate object to move by using power of video. I really wanted to do this assignment so I was keep thinking how I am going to relate to this to John Brown. I realized that it would be great to relate this assignment to his […]

I only needed one more banana… and I found one! However, it was taken away horribly and tragically, too soon from this world. Because I never leave the house without my face on, I had to put on my makeup and curl my hair. I went on a great quest to find my last banana, … Continue reading Gone In An Instant

We consider Dakota a member of our family and … Continue reading Dakota’s Tricks

As I worked through the video assignments, I realized that most of the related story of John Brown is that he loves sweet food and he has sweet teeth. So for this assignment, I chose to focus on his past. The days after when his mom and Mark (his step-father) got remarried. The assignment called […]

I obliged to a very abnormal request this week. For some reason, still unbeknownst to me, I had to answer seven unusual questions, in a sort of interview setting. The thing was that the interviewers (two men and two women) were asking me the questions through the computer. At first I was honestly worried that … Continue reading One on One: Julia James

The “Special Person Montage” is a perfect way to pay tribute to the best guy I have ever known! Unlike most, he is always there for me, regardless! I can definitely see myself waking up to his cute face every day for the rest of my life. I think this may be true love! The prompt states: … Continue reading People, Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend!

I Am Me (4.5 Stars) I decided to make this video about myself. I don’t know why, but I just had an urge to record something. Its for the most part about what has happened recently in my life. Been out of school for couple months now. I’m currently traveling to California. Its hot and…

My life has been changed over the years by several movies. All of them contain powerful women, just like me. I was not always this way, however. Growing up, my mom was treated like dirt by my dad. Unfortunately, she wasn’t strong enough to get out of the relationship at the beginning. I vowed that … Continue reading Movies That Made Me!

I was searching through the “DS106″ website (still not sure what that means), and I discovered something called Daily Creates. I just knew I had to test my creativity with these. It turns out that these activities were the best part of my very stressful week. When you work as hard as I do, any … Continue reading Breakfast, Batman, and Bark

Even if I had all the money in the world, my dream travel destination would not change. And, it is not a common vacation spot either, trust me! However, it has sentimental attachment for me, which is exactly why I would want to visit Cambridge, Massachusetts. During my senior year of high school, I was … Continue reading Oh, The Place I’d Go!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately. Which is nothing new. This go-around, like many of the go-rounds before, the topic of my musings has revolved around loss, and weather or not there is anything to be gained in the days that follow said loss. And like in the three-star lyric video that I created, my heart ... Read more

Dear 16 Year Old Me, Take a moment to listen to what I have to say. Because everything, and I mean everything, is about to change. If only you had known that at the time … the value of that knowledge would have been way beyond a mere four stars. Maybe next time, we’ll get it right.

Continuing along the path of curiosity, I delved down deeper into the history of Disney movies and decided to watch the creative company’s most recent one, Big Hero 6, as this particular four-and-a-half star assignment required to transform a modern film into a silent one, which was a quite common form of entertainment during my teenaged years. ...

However, I ... Read more

No more time for sweet sentiments and a blog radiating effervescent light, digitally inked with green, the color of hope. I mean, this is NOIR, after all, and I figured it was about time we face-lifted DeLovely Ames’ site and gave it a little touch of that dainty darkness with which I am oh-so familiar. I ... Read more

You know, ever since the recording of NNTF…we have seem to become a dysfunctional family of murderers, baby daddies, alcoholics, thirsty bitches, and nosy brats. Stella continues to invite us onto NNTF, knowing secrets will come out. Jack keeps showing up, even though he is irrelevant to anything. Billy and Mick can’t decide if they’re […]
