To go along with our radio show topic “Serial Dater” this commercial focuses on people who have trouble settling down in a relationship. Brittany and I developed the script for this commercial together and recorded it in Audacity. Here is … Continue reading →

If you didn’t already know, the name of our radio show is “Fab 5.” Our group is made up of 5 girls and so we played off the idea of the “Fab 5″ 2012 U.S. Olympian female Gymnasts. If you … Continue reading →

WOW! It’s been such a long time since I last posted, but I’m back to the DS106 grind! Because we had three weeks of time, there were 6 day creates to do. Here are my six: February 25th: Fold a … Continue reading →

Welcome back!! Sure I am saying this more to myself than anyone else. But who would have thought that I would miss just rambling to myself via the Internet. Maybe blogging really is for me… Anyway, I have returned from my adventurous Spring Break where I went back to the palace to see the King (continue reading...)

One of my favorite things to do in my free time is take one of my favorite songs and make it into a ringtone. It’s a simple process through itunes that doesn’t involve much work, or at least it doesn’t anymore since I do it so frequently. So when I saw this assignment, I was ...

Shark Racing Follow up for a video demonstration: Well I saw this video just a couple weeks ago, and wow, who wouldn’t want to be the biggest badass out there.  Not only are sharks way bigger than us, but we do not belong in their environment, completely intrusive of us. Unusual Small Thing that Brings ...

Little Lion Man – Mumford and Sons For this assignment, we had to watch the Charlie Chaplin’s ‘The Lion Cage’ video and create our own sounds like a Foley artist does. I was born in July {on the 5th} so I was...

Amigos! This is my version of the Digital Dynamite Commercial! You know the drill! Listen and enjoy! This one took alot more thought than the Bumper since it had to be 2x longer. This was actually a bad and good … Continue reading →

To finish off my 5 stars worth of audio assignments, I completed Make ‘Em Laugh, a 2 star rated assignment from the ds106 bank. I liked the idea of this assignment because I speak french (not very well) and I wanted to get ...

This is my version of our show’s radio bumper. Enjoy it! Okay, so I had no idea what to do for this bumper at first, since I didn’t want it to sound like the DS106 Radio Bumper I made before. … Continue reading →

To get to my goal of 5 stars worth of audio assignments from the ds106 assignment bank, I did a 2 star rated assignment: Make Your Own Ringtone.  I chose this mainly because of the few songs I’ve had stuck ...

So it was back to audio for the past couple weeks! I (again) dreaded it, so I started off with a pretty easy audio assignment, Taking Back Spam, from the ds106 assignment bank to get back into the swing of things.  Rated ...

Did a TON of daily creates, and more than that, wrote a post for every one of them without thinking about it.  Whoops. I’m more or less going to copy or paste them all into here though, so get ready … Continue reading →

cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo shared by Marcelo Tourne This is just a pulse on the blog o meter to let someone know I’m still out and about, now in Singapore. As usual, I have completely underestimated the toll of travel and lining up a lot of sessions. The pile of back blog material now will not fit in my suitcase. I can see a bit of breathing room in a few days, on to Hong Kong on Sunday and back to my dog house in Strawberry by March 23, where I will take a big huge nap. For my ds106 students – I’m scanning your blogs looking for the rest of audio work due end of this week. The live broadcast of your radio shows will take place starting 8pm Monday, March 18 on ds106 radio. I am anxious to hear your stories.

This was my favorite TDC of the past two weeks!  TDC420 required us to write song lyrics from a song that described how we thought a day would go and then from a song that described how it went.  When … Continue reading →

For TDC419 we were instructed to take a photo looking out our best daydreaming window.  I live in a small townhouse in College Heights and we don’t have very many windows, but I do like this one looking out from our … Continue reading →

For TDC425, we were supposed to take a picture of something in our car and make it into a movie poster.  In keeping with my moose obsession, I chose the stuffed moose that I bought a thrift store two years … Continue reading →

TDC424 instructed us to write about an odd thing that brings us joy. As I state in my post for the assignment, I’ve never been diagnosed with any form of OCD.  However, I have always had weird quirks with food … Continue reading →

For TDC413, we were supposed to write an ode to an under-appreciated object.  In my Environment and Society course, we recently went over character-object networks, and one of the examples we were provided with was a railing.  Granted, in the … Continue reading →

To be completely honest, when I read this assignment, I had completely forgotten what homophones were.  It’s been a long time since the 2nd grade, okay? Anyway, even though I did remember after a few minutes, I still couldn’t think … Continue reading →

The second audio assignment I chose this week was called Beat Craigs List, in which I was supposed to find a Craigslist ad and record it as though it were supposed to be a poem.  I after checking out some … Continue reading →

We had to complete five stars worth of assignments from the audio assignment bank this week.  The first one I chose, a one-star assignment, was to make weather noises with my mouth and objects around me. I did these after … Continue reading →

Creating the radio bumper for the Dot Commers was far easier than creating the commercial.  While I don’t want to give away what our show is about, the commercial kind of hints at it anyway. For this assignment, I had … Continue reading →

We were supposed to create a bumper for our group radio shows for this week.  I’m on the Dot Commers, along with @krisavball08 @Teldridge3, @KyleDex22, and @tsharpie07. This was more challenging than I’d anticipated but was also enjoyable.  I tried thinking of what radio … Continue reading →

I spent the bulk of my “formative years” on other continents.  Shortly after I was born, my family moved to Kampala, Uganda, and about two years after that we moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina.  We moved back to the United … Continue reading →

Remember my promise/pledge? Well here is the song for this post’s title: Turn on the Radio – Reba McEntire I did a lot of work for Fab Five’s radio show over Spring Break. I was excited to get working on...

Spring Break was nice and relaxing but it’s nice to get back to the daily grind. I had an DS 106 epiphany over Spring Break. And I liked it too much. So here is my promise/pledge to you: From now...
