So, while I was waiting for this week’s syllabus, I decided to delve into Photoshop again. I really wanted to try my hand at restoration because I always see such cool examples on Reddit. I found an absolutely gorgeous old … Continue reading →

Does anyone know how to change the time zone for Word Press? seems to be a four hour difference between time stamp and post #ds106

Invader GIF wp.me/p3zCvn-1u

So I finally made my “Twilight Zone” Gif!  Based it on the episode “The Invaders.”  The gif I chose was when the main character hears the sound from up in the attic and covers her ears.  I chose this because … Continue reading →

Click to play! Seriously this was the weirdest attempt to upload anything. Took me an hour to finally figure out I was uploading to the wrong blog……..awkward

Ok here goes. With all the media that we have reviewed over the week I’d say that the most important things to keep in mind is to be yourself, have an open mind, and try to jump in on the conversation. ScottLo’s podcasts were exceedingly helpful with just little basic things. It took a bit ...

Week 1 Reflection: Slow start, but I’ll get there. Weekly Media:   Good reflections after watching these videos. Most importantly I was able to reflect on my inner self. Daily Creates: Probably my favorite part. Visual Assignments: Design Assignments:

I think that this song pretty much says it all for if I was to write a letter to my 16 y.o. self.  I hope this is okay in the way I’ve connected media to my experiences and blog.

Required Readings This week, we were required to read and watch several items involving cyber infrastructure and web-based learning. I enjoyed reading and pondering upon the ideas of Wesch and Campbell, and I see the merit of what they are … Continue reading →

This photo is from the day Rachel and I hiked the Appalachian Trail. We’re big fans of hiking, so we try to go whenever we can. Despite having a lot of work to do for ds106, we decided I could … Continue reading →

The crux of this one for me, once I got through it, was that we need to stop accepting the one way conversation. Really a one way conversation isn’t a conversation at all. There was a lot of information in this one and I understand if you have grievances for me picking one point but ...

It’s a great book that makes you remember a single line years later. “he touched the switches, but the red light falling from the cockpit lamps upon the dial-hands was so diluted with the blue evening glow that they did … Continue reading →

Reflections upon Weekly Media: http://cdigiulian.com/2013/05/27/blog-of-scott-los-podcast/ http://cdigiulian.com/2013/05/27/blog-of-gardner-campbells-essay-and-video-presentation/ http://cdigiulian.com/2013/05/27/michael-weschs-presentation/ Scott Lo’s podcast, Gardner Campbell’s essay and video, and Michael Wesch’s presentation showed me how to mark my prsence in the digital world through writing, radio, etc. I personaly enjoyed Scott Lo’s podcast more than the onlince lectures because they were more in a classroom setting/atmosphere. This intrigues ...

I’ve been a server and it’s a standard that this is just annoying. Three Stars!

The street smarts of that hairdresser was impeccable, to be able to say the right words to influence somebody as greatly as he/she did is astonishing. “Just love your audience and they will love you back.” In a sense I could be creating my audience as we speak and narrating the start of a new ...

So, my pop culture Venn diagram is a little lame, but only in the sense that I’m a little lame. I’ll admit that much. There’s nothing wrong with being a little lame, right? Well, anyway. Doctor Who is one of … Continue reading →

I really tried hard to think of someone who not only should be charging by invoice, but also someone who is generally underpaid. I came up with poor Peter Parker, who is constantly getting short end of the stick from … Continue reading →

I’m not sure how anyone could do half of this ds106 stuff without a very forgiving and reliable significant other to lean on. Thankfully Rachel put up with my ridiculously poorly worded instructions and managed to get three photos that … Continue reading →

 

I know it’s not a paddle but still those types of cooking utensils aren’t common nowadays. The assignment was to take a picture and make a meme. I screenshot from The Invaders episode of The Twilight Zone and used quickmeme.com. Boom! LINK TO WHAT’S THE MEME ASSIGNMENT. Worth 2 1/2 stars.
