The first thing that I did this week was my write up about our radio show. I actually enjoyed completing this project and am looking forward to another assignment like this. I really like how the radio show turned out and our group of 3 worked very well together. Here is our finished show. The […]

Week Seven of ds106 was a doozy! Although the amount of assignments and posts paled in comparison to previous weeks, the amount of work that I put into the radio show was beyond measure. I worked on some aspect of our group’s show every night for the past two weeks. Whether it was a commercial, … Continue reading Noir YOU Talking to Me?!

This week I had to record my own radio station due to a group fallout. Its frustrating, but that’s life. You have to compensate and do the best you can without making excuses. Anyway, first, I had to come up with my own theme. I chose to create (JNRS) aka Jackson’s Noir Radio Station. However,…

This second week of working on our radio show definitely proved challenging and a lot more rigorous than week one. Since our group, consisting of Aubrey Howland, Amanda Layton, Brianne Comden, and myself,  used week one to create the commercials, radio bumpers, and basic idea/storyline for our show, week two consisted of all of the … Continue reading Imagination and MaNOIRpulation

This week was crazy! I could never imagine myself working this hard and learning so much in a two week period. I did not know what I was doing with Audacity, but now I feel like I could do anything with it. Sound is a funny thing. Me and the group came together this week … Continue reading Digital Journey Week 7

But actually, I don’t remember what week this was… Oh well, all I know is that I now have a week off. This week was a lot of work, but pretty fun! The Radio Show was obviously the biggest part of this week, but it was a good project. Like most sane people, I usually … Continue reading What Week Was This?

Radio show:   Daily Creates:  

          One of this weeks daily creates was labeled, “Are you up for some emojination?” The goal was to use the website emojinate to create a story. The website assigns the user 5 random emojis to create … Continue reading →

This week, my group finalized our radio show, I did some commenting, and some TDCs were created. RADIO SHOW We completed our radio show, Silk Road. A summary as well as the audio of the show can be found here. COMMENTING I’ve (1) commented (2) on (3) ten (4) posts (5) that (6) I (7) thought (8) […]

This week in the world of DS106 we were assigned with the task of finishing our group radio show. First off, let me just say, Spencer is the SHIT! As I said last week, he got the whole group together, … Continue reading →

I can’t believe it’s spring break and we’re already halfway through this semester. It feels like just yesterday I was struggling to set up my blog and learning how ds106 works. This week we finished up our radio show. I got my parts done on Thursday and I was happy to get to spring break. […]

I’m currently writing this while on break on my boyfriend’s computer. It’s been hailing. I am iced in. Trapped. Nowhere to run. I also have no records of my comments this week so I’ll edit those in tomorrow. (Hint, I’ve been slacking this week) So this week was big for the radio show- there was … Read More →

Wednesday- Emojination For this daily create, I had to create a story from a randomly generated set of emojis. I was under the impression that this story had to be within the twitter character limit, so mine is rather short, but I think it definitely encompasses what I was trying to express: Thursday: Deep Space […]

JNRS (Jackson Noir Radio Station) This second week in creating a Radio Show has been frustrating to say the least. We created new great ideas for our radio show. However, due to timing conflicts and lack of communication. Two of our members decided to do the show without the rest of the group. This meant…

Behold: NeoNoir’s “Silk Road”- a radio show created by Sarah Kinzer and Jada Steward. In the show, Sophie, a hacker based in New York, teams up with Carter Smith, a determined police officer and his mentor, Tom, to catch Folami Turay, the leader of a ring of underage prostitutes operating through a deep web site called […]

This week was a busy one. I wrote my character’s monologue for our radio show. We put together the whole script in a google doc. I got my portion recorded and edited on Thursday night. I uploaded it to SoundCloud and then Tiffany put the whole thing together! Below, is the final product! Tiffany did an […]

Commenting is such an important mode of conversation; not only does it allow for others to see your ideas but it also lets you see how someone else went at […]

This week, “That Group” had to finish up our radio show. On Tuesday, we spent 5 hours in the audio studio in the ITCC… yes, I correctly typed a 5 there. We knew that this project would take a lot of time to do, but I don’t think we expected to do 5 hours consecutively. … Continue reading Week 2 Process & Final Radio Show

I loved this Daily Create because I am a huge Sci-Fi fan. This daily create was to create a space station. I decided instead of drawing an elaborate drawing, I decided to go to a more realistic approach. This space station is similar to the Soviet Space station that went into space. I have always…

This week wasn’t as busy as I though it was going to be, but I still had a lot of editing work to do on my assigned scenes. The editing of balancing voices with background noise was the hardest work I did this week, but I learned a lot about Audacity by trial and error … Continue reading Two Weeks of Radio, Signing Off

Well here she is. After a lot of group confusion and lack of responses, I was unsure of what to do with all of my ideas and preliminary content I had created. With some of the original members breaking off and others going incommunicado, I had no choice but to construct a show on my … Continue reading Noir Buzz-Featuring the Tapes of Jack Neff →

The Daily Creates for this week were a lot of fun. Once again, they drew from several categories of creativity: videography, writing, and photography. They were all fairly easy to complete, as these are areas in which I have interest and experience. It is rewarding to work on assignments that develop creativity and technological prowess. The first assignment … Continue reading 5 Joys, 5 Emoijs, and 1 Teal/Orange Photo

(the title of this post answers the question of week 6’s title.) Weekly Summary 7! How has it already been 7 weeks?? This week we had to complete 3 daily creates Joy  where I shared a video of 5 things that bring me joy including my adorable noir cat! (2) Lady eagles in which i made an … Continue reading Cause 7 was intimidating →

Teal Blue and Orange! I decided to use the “Expendables” movie logo to do my daily create. Because the movie is the definition of action movies. There is so much violence in the poster, it gets you pumped up for the movie. So below is the orginial poster. Then I had to change the picture…

I like the idea of having us comment more. It’s easy to say you like something, but it can get tricky when someone asks the “why?” I think commenting has definitely made me get more creative, whether it be interpreting someone else’s work or thinking about how I could branch off of it. These are … Continue reading Commenting

Riley has always been there for me. Whenever I’m down or I need guidance hes always there. I decided to do the #heelconcept with my old, glazed, statue dragon, “Riley”. The concept was to use “everyday” items in this picture. But technically Riley has been in my room ever since I was 9. I made…

This week wasn’t as hard as I had expected it to be, but with spring break looming in the background, I wanted to get everything done beforehand (which of course […]

This week is the second week of the radio show project… things went pretty smoothly, I think. I started off the week by creating an outline for our script that the girls could fill in at their discretion. It served...

My group consisted of me, Mia Boleis, Cuyler Matteson, Brain Burns, and Philip Dorch. We created a Maury style talk show in which we connect all of our characters through […]

Today’s Daily Create was a bit challenging! The task was to make a movie trailer of our fear. Since I am not very good at video editing, this made it more challenging for me. Also, who really wants to make a video about their fear? For mine, I did the fear that someone knocks on … Continue reading Horror Trailer
