Week 2
This week in DS106 felt a lot less hectic than the first. For the first week, I had to set up accounts on new platforms, engage with accounts I hadn’t really used before, and familiarize myself with software that I had never used. Now that I have gotten the chance to work with these digital…

5 Days of Creation
This past week, students of DS106 were asked to complete at least 5 Daily Creates. A Daily Create is a shortform assignment posted on this blog in order to get people in the habit of doing something creative every day. The first task I completed was on August 29th. The assignment was to use a…

The Rick and Morty Pilot Episode
A few years ago, I had a dream where I watched the Pilot episode of Rick and Morty. This dream was significant to me because I had it before I had actually watched any episodes of Rick and Morty, so aside from all of the memes I had absorbed at that point in time, this…

Part of a Nutritious Breakfast
The object of this assignment was to create a mock cereal box. Much like the dollar bill assignment, this was another that, upon seeing it, I knew exactly how I would link it to DS106’s theme.

DS106 Goals
This semester, I am taking a course called Digital Studies. I enrolled in it because, out of all the classes I could take to fulfill my Digital Intensive requirement, this seemed the most interesting. I really enjoy writing and the thought of exploring how to tell stories through digital mediums felt like a natural way…

The Joy of Painting
Before now, I had never seen an episode of The Joy of Painting. Through cultural osmosis, I knew who Bob Ross was as well as his general reputation as the “wholesome art guy” but I hadn’t had any firsthand experience with his work until last Friday. As a part of one of my classes, I…
