This week, we were tasked with incorporating our Daily Creates together to make a story. Knowing this at the onset, I chose to focus on the character of Bagman, created by Brian Short for ds106, and theme my Daily Creates around him. This resulted in Waiting for Bagman. Tuesday, March 19 2013: Take/Create a photo of a license ...

Digital Dynamite While I knew that our radio show would be great, I was amazed and just how great it was. All of our segments were cohesive and used interesting and proper sound effects. The sewing machine sounds which were recorded while I was sewing on my serger sounded better than I thought that they ...

For my three time review, I chose to watch this clip from The Pursuit of Happyness: For this assignment, I had to watch this clip in three different ways and each time I noticed something different. 1. Analyzing the camera work. The...

When I first saw the Telling Stories Within The Web assignment, I thought that I may redo Reddit using html, as seen by various characters from Musical Theatre interacting with each other, but soon abandoned that idea when I found the code to be too tricky to modify. I then decided that I should focus ...

As a continuation of the last Pulp Fiction post, here are 3 interesting facts about the movie. Later I have a montage demonstrating these facts. Fact 1: “Pulp Fiction is most known for its nonlinear storyline.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIViN-G37L8 What this means … Continue reading →

The internet has recently encouraged individuals with the same opinions, or no opinions whatsoever, to come together to either make their opinions stronger or, for the ones with no opinion, begin to take a side. Throughout the years, the power … Continue reading →

I LOVE Tarantino’s movies! He always seems to know what camera effects to use at just the right moments to enhance the scene.  I chose to analyze a famous scene from the movie Pulp Fiction where the two main characters … Continue reading →

We had to complete five-stars worth of assignments from the Web Design bank this week.  I had so much fun with the Hackasaurus tool that I chose to go with the assignment that required us to use it again!  I chose … Continue reading →

When I read that I had to edit a web page, I was terrified.  Memories of my failing out of the computer science department flooded in and I thought it was going to be incredibly difficult to do this.  So, … Continue reading →

This week we looked at Web Design in DS106.  I was a bit intimidated at first, but it was so much fun once I installed the x-ray goggles!  When I first read the assignment I thought that I might want … Continue reading →

I’d first like to say that while writing this weekly summary, I’m feeling very sick with flu-like symptoms, so please don’t expect a great performance!  Curling up in my bed and falling asleep sounds like the best idea to me ...

To complete my 5 stars worth of assignments, I did the “what they might have done in social media” activity. Worth 3 stars, I chose Teddy Roosevelt as my historical figure, because he is one of my favourite president’s.  His ...

Review of fellow DS106′ers radio broadcast Review of Fifth Dimension Web Storytelling Assignment *** Wagon Wheel Map ** ESPN Time Machine The comment character I chose to create is Charles, a middle aged man who just recently discovered the internet. Unfortunately, the comments I left earlier today have not been approved so at this point ...

Once again, this week was chock full of things I had never done before. Heck I didn’t even know some of it COULD be done! But I wasn’t scared, I was looking forward to a fresh week of challenging, fun assignments.  It all came together nicely. ——————————- Storytelling Within the Web Ok, who thought of  ...

This week was very intertwined like a spider web (get it??) We had Web Assignments and I loved some parts and hated other things. It was definitely all mixed up together. For starters though we had to reflect on last week before moving onto this week. I really enjoyed making and especially listening to all (continue reading...)

One of the required assignments of this week was Storytelling Within The Web. As a computer science major, this assignment was very simple. I have experience using Firebug from a previous web development course I took, which was very helpful. I chose to edit a Craigslist page that was advertising the sale of a “Swivel ...

Phil goes to anger management classes once a week in order to control his violent tendencies.  One day, when coming out of the meeting, Phil saw this car’s license plate: He immediately jumped to the conclusion that, even though it ...

We are down to the wire!! I normally don’t post this late in the week, but here we are! Radio Show Evaluation I reviewed my group’s radio show~ Fab 5′s Serial Dater segment and the Dot Commer’s ~ The Science … Continue reading →

So I went a bit crazy and told my story in one of the daily creates that we could do about another daily create. Confused yet? Yeah I am too. So let me show you what I did. Personally, I would start out with this daily create which required us to write about a subject being (continue reading...)

This week I was stuck on the web the whole time I didn’t know what to do with myself I was doing alot this week. I had to review the Serial Dater and my own radio show I loved making radio and hearing myself with other people on the air live it was a real ...

On top of evaluating another group’s radio show this week, we also had to evaluate our own show using the same criteria: ~Quality of audio sound ~Quality of audio editing ~Use of sound effects ~Use of music ~Structure/cohesiveness ~Storytelling effectiveness/Draw ...

Today I leared that my favorite baseball team, the New York Mets once played at Shay’s 84380 Radium. Knowing the history of the Mets, I can assure you that they never played at a nuclear site, or anything like it. That failed translation was one of many I found when translating the mlbkorea.com page for ...

Oh I feel so famous! My radio show group (Fab 5) premiered on DS106 radio last week!! It was really awesome and a bit nerve racking to hear our own voices on the radio. Brittany and Kelsie did a great … Continue reading →

This week I had to make a story out of my daily creates and it was really difficult for me to come up with a story because I had to piece together my creations into a story. But I know what story I am going to do, are you ready? Once upon a time there ...

GETTING CLOSE TO THE END…. But not quite there! And I say this happily, especially since ds106 has only gotten easier and easier with the weeks coming! This past week was not as frustrating as others have been but maybe it’s because I’m becoming more tech savvy? (knock on wood!) This week was filled with ...

This week sucked.  I got a concussion early in the week so I haven’t had much brain power (still don’t) and I ended up doing all of this today (been working since 8 and its 11 now).  I got everything ...

I know it’s not the most clever of titles for what we had to do.  This week we had to come up with images that we haven’t used or even audio or video clips and recycle them. It’s a cool concept, but it was supposed to be the easy task to do and I didn’t (continue reading...)

This week, my radio show group, The Fifth Dimension, was assigned to listen and evaluate Team Awesome’s show, “Blast from the Past/Into the Future“.  Our grading criteria included the following: ~Quality of audio sound ~Quality of audio editing ~Use of ...

I’m not really sure how to judge this whole shebang.  Honestly, the whole thing was thrown together in a bunch of random pieces.  But, at the same time, the assignment was to get a bunch of audio assignments and put ...
