For my next assignment I did grettings from ds106.  This assignment is to tell us where you are, where you’re from, or simply where you’d rather be and build a greeting card. To make this greeting card I started off … Continue reading →

The Fandom Princess and the Prince continued their trek into town, all the while the Princess tightly held onto the gem with the tiny rose hidden inside. As they reached the edge of town, both of their eyes scoured the area for a traveler or someone who seemed to be … Continue reading →

While the Fandom Princess and the Prince were out for a light summer stroll during the Princess’ third year at Mercury, she accidently tripped on the trail to town. The Prince gasped and instantly kneeled next to her. “My darling,” he said, concern lacing his voice. “Are you alright? Are … Continue reading →

Hey Ya’ll, Let me start off by saying I am totally not supposed to be writing this.  To say things got out of hand quickly would be an understatement.  I’m supposed to be laying low and staying out of the … Continue reading →

Can’t….feel my fingers anymore…been remixing and mashing SO much these past 2 weeks! On top of studying for final exams and doing final projects for other classes, I think these have been the busiest 2 weeks of the entire semester. … Continue reading →

For my fourth assignment for my final project I did storytelling within the web.  This assignment is to take a website and edit it completely so that it tells a totally different story than it once did. I’m going to … Continue reading →

For my second assignment for our final project I did Not Quite Norma Jeane. This assignment is to remake this classic Marilyn Monroe “expressions sheet” with self-portraits or with the aid of a friend.  Were going to call Taylor my … Continue reading →

How on earth can it already be time for final projects? I’m having a hard time believing that the semester is almost over!! About a week ago we came up with ideas for our final projects.  You can find my … Continue reading →

For FTR!,  I decided to take the office photo with the picture frames on the wall and put a portrait of  Cory Doctorow into the frames.  Both the picture of Doctorow and the photo of the office were taken by … Continue reading →

Remixes are a great way to demonstrate creativity and play around with things that already exist. Here are three examples: The author of this remix used half-second clips from the Star Wars films against a background of the instrumental of … Continue reading →

YAY almost done with the semester (but I will certainly miss ds106). This is one of the last weekly summaries that I have to write up, so it’s a bit sad, but exciting at the same time. These past two weeks were really jammed with so many different things to do for this class it (continue reading...)

I was extremely crunched for time this week, as I have 18 credits worth of final projects and exams to complete. Unfortunately, for the first time this semester I was not able to complete all the work. The Popcorn assignment caused much frustration, and after going back and forth between that and iMovie trying to ...

Those three words pretty much haunt every geometry student at some point in their life. A square is always a rectangle, but a rectangle is sometimes a square? How can that be? It’s all about the properties. Quadrilaterals share a lot of different properties, but there also are a lot of differences between them. We (continue reading...)

For the Remix assignment I wanted to go with the more novelist approach where for m the picture you should gather that he is a writer. I wanted to keep half of his face normal so the viewer could know what he looked like and then on the other half make it word that I found from ...

These weeks I did a lot as normal I went over board but I think that it was worth it I also think I got a virus on my computer that made it slower than normal. But here is what I did: Remix your Vacation, Recycle and Remake, Remix this Assignment, Actor Transformation for 4 stars, Movie Trailer Mash Up for 4 ...

I really hate reflection posts. I have no idea why, maybe it’s because we aren’t creating anything fun for me to show off my princess skills for. I guess I just am too proud of my work all of the time. However I did really enjoy the different clips that I watched on what a (continue reading...)

This next assignment, which I chose to title ‘twittr’, asks the user to combine two popular websites to create a new page. I completed the assignment using the sites Craigslist and Flickr. I used Firebug to edit the two pages, and used simple cut and paste to take section headers from Flickr and transfer them ...

Unfortunately, I did not submit any assignments until just this week, so both the assignments I submitted were mashup assignments. The first one I submitted was to create a mashup of your two favorite sports teams logos’. This assignment was heaps of fun to complete, and I hope ds106′ers of the future enjoy it. The ...

I’m not sure exactly how to retrieve the Daily Creates that I submitted, but I did submit two of them earlier this week. The first assignment was to, “carve/draw something interesting on an apple”. This idea came from me simply looking around the room and finding an apple. The second Daily Create I submitted was ...

I think I was moderately active in the ds106 community this semester. While I am not too involved in the “twittersphere”, I do make every attempt to stay active within my blog, responding to comments that merit a response, etc. Also, during the group project I was extremely involved, taking on the leadership role for ...

Yes it is true, I have spent two full summers working in the movie theater and I never have had a problem with popcorn. In fact, I love it. Sure I spent one day sitting in the movie theater until 3 in the morning popping popcorn, but it didn’t matter to me. I still ate (continue reading...)

Also I wanted to share that copyright for companies last for 100 years. I also learned in the everything is a remix part 1 and 3 that everything that we hear in today’s music is probably already taken from someone before. I also learned that people’s ideas are not there own or that people think at the ...

I did an assignment for visual because I love the visual aspect of stories personally they keep me entertained. I did one that focuses on a small part of the big world of color. I also did a GIF because I think they are fun and they can mean something. I think that the more ...

Well I’ve posted all the Remix assignments for the week, but I failed to actually describe what remix is. This week we were asked to review some videos on remix and see some examples of it before starting our own … Continue reading →

The past two weeks included so much to do on remixing and mashing.  First of all, what is a remix?   I watched some videos and examples of remixes to get a better understanding. Then, in my blog post,  I ...
