Iconaday

Today’s Daily Create assignment was to re-tell what you did today in icons.  I used the suggested set of icons that Google recently made available and found paging through them to be a little like shopping for the right shoes.  They had to be juuuuust right.  Turns out this was …

Prezbo’s Game – Notes on S4:E 5,6,7

  Season 4 – Episodes 5, 6, 7 Notes Episode 5 – “Alliances” Kids sitting around telling zombie stories and scaring each other about Chris Partlow.  They casually identify the caliber of gunfire in the background, and THAT’S the scary part for me. Prez has a sticker system for classroom …

The Thinker vs. Batman

For this Daily Create we have to help Rodin’s “The Thinker” devise a scheme to win against Batman.  The poor guy is naked and Batman has that utility belt with all the cool gadgets, a neoprene suit, and a cape.  No wonder he has been defeated many times.  It’s all …

Idris Got Flex a.k.a. Weeks 11-12 Summary

Season 3, episodes 11, 12 Season 4, episodes 1-4: I watched ‘em all.  For the third time.  I’m hooked on The Wire and it’s all Jim Groom’s fault. My favorite highlights centered around  the recurring theme of reinvention and adaptation (flex) of our favorite characters: The final culmination of B …

Video Essay – Discovering Omar

For the video essay assignment I chose Season 1 Episode 5 for analysis because it’s where we see Omar become established as a power player.  He’s in everyone’s business, he knows what is going on, and he knows which drug dealers he can stick up and exactly when the stash …

“The Pager” Swede

YouTube is doing something funky with a “warping” kind of effect that I can’t figure out, but here it is.  I think I’ll try uploading to Vimeo next time and see if that improves things.   I went with Season 1 Episode 5 “The Pager” for the Swede video assignment …

Range of Emotions

This is an odd assignment, if viewed out of context.  I look  like I’m off some meds.  Oh well.  Let the blackmailing begin.  Here it is:…

Vote Clay Davis

He’s a man of the people.  He’s also a man of few words.  Really.  VERY few words.  Here they are: Ha ha, loads of fun on this video assignment.  I hadn’t seen a supercut video before stumbling across this assignment and it was a lot of fun picking out scenes …

It’s Just A Fad

I had a co-worker who told me the internet “was just a fad” and the fan fervor would die down soon.  That was in late 1995 when I was first venturing out and using things like telnet and Delphi and CompuServe chat rooms you could find by logging onto servers …

Mickey Is A ds106keteer

  The daily create was to skip the over-used cat and dog memes and create a mouse meme.  We were encouraged to use anything, including well-known mice.  I created this in MS PowerPoint to get the easy-to-use-pre-made ovals, filled them with black, and added text boxes to accommodate the text …
