Here’s what it ought to look like (flaws and ...

It was interesting to listen to the other radio shows, especially looking for the differences in each one.  I think that mine was a lot different than most others, but I enjoyed them regardless.  This was a pretty fun project … Continue reading →

Well, here we are again.  Sunday night cramming – crap I’m late.  Some weeks I’m more prepared for the unsuspecting lengths of these things, but this week is not one of them.  My normal cram days were shot down with a very influential weekend in the woods, but that also meant being completely disconnected from ...

In an effort to further my understanding of the folks who create some of my favorite anime, I thought I’d attempt the Google Translate assignment on the Studio Gainax website. … it went about as well as I’d expected. Not sure if this is a stable link, but you can see the entire page I ...

So if you’re looking for me after this post, I will most likely be on an ambulance from tomorrow until Wednesday morning! So let’s get cracking!! This week was Web Week. We were asked to go onto websites and add our own touch to them…touch? I MEAN TAKE THEM OVER!!! And our bestfriend/partner in crime to help us do that was Hackasaurus. They provided X-Ray Goggles which allowed us to edit web pages as we saw fit. Honestly, I … Continue reading →

Week 9 was kind of annoying, I always feel like I’m super busy during the week so I put all of the work off until the weekend. It’s always a terrible idea. Oh well… Listening to the radio shows this week was probably the hardest part. We had to listen to our own show and another groups show.

However our show ended up pulling nicely together. We used all of our bumpers to kind of mediate between all the different … Continue reading →
