In an age where artificial intelligence is becoming more and more prominent, we must become weary of those who walk among us. Who is real, and who is a machine? As the decades go by, it will become more difficult to answer this question. Your best friend could be a …
Ron Burgundy is the ultimate 1970′s man’s man. He drinks obsessively, thinks little of women, and constantly shows off his masculinity. His relatively low level of intelligence, his horrible social skills, and his incredibly inflated sense of ego are all good starting points for a character who needs to …
While reading the requirements for the final assignment, I was so overwhelmed with all of the possibilities that I had. Which princess would I choose? The possibilities are endless. Cinderella has been over done with this blog, so I wanted to go for a princess that I haven’t really …

I had a lot of trouble deciding on a character to use for the final project. It seemed as though each character I chose I could find a a problem with. Eventually I decided on Abraham Lincoln, with a twist, in that he will be living in modern society. There …
Two ideas for my final story — a little something like this:
————————–
I really enjoyed working on the audio story that involved the diary entries—-> I Found Your Diary
I have been reading through many many entries and have been trying to weave one story from many different entries …
I have been going through all the characters I can think. I’ve been trying to think of stories and challenges I can create for them that would not only lend themselves well to assignments but also be interesting for me to create.
I’ve finally decided on Alice in Wonderland.…
First off I cannot believe that we already at the point of the semester to be talking about final assignments. Where did this semester go (and where did my four years of college go). While it’s hard to believe it’s time to start planning for finals, we are at that …
A proposal for how my final should be proposed. Does that make sense? Well hopefully it will by the end of this post!
Step 1: After lots of searching, and going through my favorite movies, ranging anywhere from Rango to Moulin Rouge until I settled on the ever beautiful Disney …
For my final project I was thinking on doing a remake of a Disney classic movie, I do not think that I should call it a classic movie though because I do not think it would end up like that. For my character I am going to pick Pocahontas because …

We all know him. That extremely curious monkey who always gets in to trouble: Curious George. But, as far as we know, George has never had ANY curiosity in those cootie-givin’ gal monkeys…until now! So George is setting off on an adventure to find a girlfriend. How you ask? …
As you may or may not know (and if you don’t know, all I ask is WHY?) there is a Royal Baby on the way! Yes, William and Kate are having a baby! Now I don’t know about you, but I was definitely one of those crazy’s up at …
After 3 days of thinking this week, I’ve finally discovered what I wanted to do for the final project! Throughout my 13 weeks of being apart of this class, I believe I’ve mentioned something My Little Pony related a good number of times. I’ve decided that this final project will …
In the early days of the their courting, The Prince and the Fandom Princess would spend many a nights together. There was one specific night that the Princess cherished in her memories. It happened during her second year at Mercury. The Prince was visiting her for the moon cycle, and …
One night, while the Fandom Princess was asleep in her chambers, she heard a noise that made her turn in her slumber. This noise also caught the attention of Ghost, who was curled up comfortably next to her on the bed. The Princess turned to go back to sleep, but …
“How odd!” The Fandom Princess exclaimed as she looked down at the Prince’s hands.
“Aren’t they exquisite?” The Prince asked, a smile plastered on his handsome face.
The Princess nodded. “That they are.” Her gave remained looking down at the Prince’s hands, in which he held three large eggs. The …
For remix/mashup week, we had to remix an already existing piece of media from a DS assignment and use a remix card to make it our own. To remix it. In order to do this, you have to click the remix it button on the website.
So when I generated …
One assignment we had to do this week was the Recycle the Media. This assignment did not count towards our six stars of mashup/remix that we need for these two weeks.
A couple of weeks ago, each DSer had to submit three pieces of media that they had but …
UPDATE APR 18, 2013: The archive lives! Watch the insanity!
A bit of shtick I used in today’s TCC World Online Conference keynote was an idea that settled in my noggin and would not shake loose. The session was billed as:
Dim the lights, cue the music, roll the …

This video was created for the Recycle the …
One tool that was suggested to us when remixing and mash-uping was Mozilla Popcorn Maker. In order to experiment with this, Alan created a video for us to remix. He left spaces open where we could add new media. Here is the video:
Yeah. I know, funny.
I was …
To start off the remix and mashup weeks, we had to review two references and three examples of what remix is. This was one of the first things I did for the remix and mashup weeks’ checklist. I did this first because I needed a clearer understanding of what …
Last week was a major embarrassment for me and I completely forgot to work on this stuff over the weekend. So I’m really not sure if I will be getting credit for anything I post today, but I’m posting anyway.
We had to complete 16 stars worth of assignments from …
This week I made a ‘supercut it‘ video featuring Agent Ziva from the television show NCIS. Her character is originally from Israel and English is her second language. She is constantly trying to use American idioms and butchering them. I haven’t seen this show in ages but used …
This was the first assignment I did on moviemaker, and so it’s a little rough. I chose to do the sports mashup, which involved piecing together clips of great sports plays, but they were supposed to also tell a story. I picked rugby as my sport, even though I …
