    Let me be honest. This week was rough. I had way too much due for my other classes between Tuesday and Thursday on top of the five or six meetings I went to. After last semester, writing my 30-40 page history thesis on top of all my other papers and work seemed impossible. But I ...

    From the in[SPIRE] site I saw Love Your Earth and it suck out to me right away because I think it shows a really good message about how we only have one earth so we should love it and not take advantage of it like we have another one just waiting around. I think it is ...

    February 3, 2013
    Thinking about storytelling really isn’t something I had really done, or so I thought.  Apparently I have a lot to say and I think a lot about stories and storytelling.  The key is it’s NOT just pen and paper. I tell stories with the art I make: ceramic sculpture, paintings, and the words I write.  ...

    February 3, 2013
    “First, what is storytelling?” Storytelling, in its most basic form is the process by which someone conveys a past event, whether it be true or false.  For our first week of bootcamp we were required to tell a fabricated story about our childhood.  When I think of storytelling, the first image that comes to mind ...

Although it felt like a relief, having bootcamp over with, I have to admit I miss the hand-holding a little. NONETHELESS, I got it done! AND I’M ALIVE with a buttload of experience, ...

    February 3, 2013
    When I hear the word storytelling a lot comes to mind. Like reading a story or telling someone a story, but what does not come to mind is lying to make a story be entertaining. I think when some one tells a story the want to let others know about their experiences of their life. Until this class that ...

    The most puzzling piece of work this week would have to be the Kurt Vonnegut video. I know it should have been a rather simple message, one that I’m sure most got the first time around watching it, I didn’t get it until the second (maybe third time) around. Then I finally understood what he ...

    You know what’s intimidating? Looking at previous work from those of the previous DS106 class. Honestly though. I could not help but feel like I have these giant shoes to fill! Obviously it was not all bad. A lot of things I saw from graduates of this class was pretty inspiring (and intimidating, who knew ...

    I chose to blog about Matt Poole’s rendition of The Notebook, with his “If You’re a bird, I’m A Bird”  post. The clip is hilarious, and very well done. He uses a layer of surf and bird sounds under his dialogue. Matt is clearly trying his best to imitate the female’s voice, and hilarity ensues. ...

    Sparky was a good dog. The best actually. He never did his business inside the house, he almost always behaved, and never drank out of the toilet(..Except for every once in awhile). Sparky, however, had one small quirk that made him hard to watch and that was that Sparky is a rather..curious dog. He had ...

    Storytelling..What is storytelling? The first thing that comes into mind is The Stone Ages. Ya know, sitting by a fire, and long before writing was a thing and the best way to pass on anything (legends, fables, or to just tell stories in the down time). Although written language had yet to be a thing, ...
