When it comes to getting creative on the computer I know what I want to do but it’s just hard to figure out how to do it. In a class I had last semester we learned about supercuts and mashups. I thought they were very interesting and I would love to be able to create … Continue reading →

Now that we are entering into the video production portion of the course, I’m both excited and nervous. I’m excited to see how much I can accomplish but I’m nervous because I’m sure others in the class have had much … Continue reading →

"Take/make a photo that represents math at work in the world"

After doing the readings, I was inspired to try it myself. My very own daily create!

I knew the Numa Numa Song only from the video that Gary Brolsma did in his room that went insanely viral.  It was a hilarious video that caught fire across the world. I found it interesting hearing the background of the actual song and how it had popularity before the video caught on.  I would ...

Today is the best kind of day for this song.

Math of Art, a photo by theopcm on Flickr.Via Flickr:Art is something that requires math in the real world, especially when dealing with geometric structures like this one. This is work by the Bouroullec brothers (I love their work - check it out) at t...

My biggest fear is drowning...surprisingly enough, I love swimming. I just panic a little when I'm in open water - something about not knowing about everything that's underneath me is very unsettling. I'm a firm believer in systematic desensitization, ...

My biggest fear is getting eaten by a shark. This is an irrational fear, I know, especially since the only times I have actually seen sharks in person have been at the aquarium. There really is no story behind why I am afraid of them, but the funny thing is that I am also extremely ...

My main goal for the Video Unit is to get familiar with editing software and to experiment with editing footage. I have always been very interested in editing films and love to see how the different ways that clips are arranged and strung together can have such an impact on how the film as a ...

There are 3 main goals I would like to achieve. The first would be to improve my video editing skills. I have used programs like iMovie many times before, but I definitely do not feel very confident about my knowledge of all the tools and tricks that are available through these programs. If I could ...

A tongue twister our drama teacher used to make us do that no one could ever say more than 5 times.

Daily Create 1/30/13: Finish the sentence. "My biggest fear is..." What is the story of overcoming this?My biggest fear is heights. People often think that's funny because I'm really tall, and I've had people ask if I'm scared when I stand up. I hate&n...
