This has to be one of the most delicious (and simplest) refreshers to make. Throughout this epidemic, it has become evident that our Summer will most likely not be spent outside, so long as the shutdown is put in place to save the lives …
I used this recipe, as this is a quick and easy treat to make during this quarantine. My mom always talks about her sweet tooth as a teen in the 80s, and how she could eat so much sweets and to take advantage of our sweet tooth …

Idea: “I am Legend” approach but 80’s style

First, I’m going to try my best …
For the final project, I will once again be working with James, Kyle, Lewis and Hayden. Truly the best group. Seriously, of all the group projects I’ve been a part of, no other group compares to this one. I’m glad we hit it off that during that first group assignment. …

80’s Pandemic
For my final project, I’ve decided to concentrate on the 80’s pandemic specifically the measles, HIV, and pneumonic outbreak. I’ve done a little reading on CDC’s timeline of the three outbreaks and I think I have enough materials to complete my final project.
Audio: I will record an …

I’ve fused together the news website One America News with the home webpage for the University of Mary Washington, to create the wonderful abomination One America News of the University of Mary Washington (OANUMW).

The warning label was from my previous assignment, making fun of those medical commercials with the strange side effects using Valve’s Portal Gun from the Portal series of videogames. We were to remix it with Savanna, but it was not descriptive in what we were to do, so I put …
The original assignment was to change the colors, but the remix was to add a bad infomercial feeling to it. I figured the best way to do so was to make this feel like an unusual advertisement, and since the colors changed, I made it a color changer, along with …
If I were given any super power, mine would be to completely warp and bend reality to my will. Coronavirus could be instantly eliminated with a single thought, or the world hunger could be wiped out with a snap of the fingers. After solving these problems, I’d likely retreat into …
