I was able to make it to the 1st night of group radio listening. I have listened to vintage radio shows before, so I did have an idea on what to expect. We listen to “Do androids dream of electric sheep” It was a great story. They made great use of the sounds to let you know where the characters were at any given point. They sounded different in the car then they did in a big empty space. There…
I would like to have a radio show with Dr Ravioli, Marie E. Pearl, and Lady Alice Smythe. They can discuss mopeds, world domination, and why a cat would marry a lobster. Marie can be trying to pet Ravioli constantly and being neutral on all topics. Alice and Ravioli can argue about mopeds. Alice insisting, they are terrible and Ravioli singing their praises. Marie can just keep agreeing with both points of view. Alice can try to constantly to one…
This week started off great. I had established a routine and was enjoying the daily creates. I had started draft pages for the assignments on my blog. I was organized! I was not going to be rushing at the end of the week to get it all done. Then I fell. I was walking to my car Tuesday night after class at about 7:25 pm I tripped on some uneven bricks and fell. My heavy backpack added to my instability,…
I was given 20 minutes to do this list in photos. You can decide if I was successful or not. click for another list. Enjoy the stylized haze from a dirty camera lens. My dog Grace makes lots of noises. Here she can be seen laughing at me while I attempt to do my work. Or maybe she was just yawning…. Are those a giant’s fingers?! Are they just tiny tissues? Is that a piece of glitter? What is going…
I used Adobe firefly to create imagines of what Wyoming would look like in 4 seasons. Lady Alice is from a ranch in Wyoming, so I used that as the prompt. I am assuming the AI used the northern bits of Wyoming near Jackson Hole or Yellowstone as reference. I have only been to the southern parts of Wyoming near I-80, Laramie, Rocksprings etc. I remember that area being browns most of the year and not so much green as…
To read Koala in knitted hat part one follow the link. Koala wearing a knitted hat – HURKLE-DURKLING Thoughts for DS106 (hurkledurkling.com) After leaving Bing imagine creator running for hours (overnight) I came back to find more Koalas in knitted hats! It gave me four koalas and I chose one to enhance with their program. Look it’s the same couch! and half of the Koala is gone… This baby koala has different claws then the others. My 7 year old…
I really enjoyed this assignment. I tried a few different prompts. Spider-man from the Marvel comics did not work. Trust me or don’t and see what an Adobe Firefly gives you. I settled on something less startling Koala on a blue couch wearing a knitted green and purple hat. I tried to use a few other AI image generators but I either had to pay or I am sill currently waiting on them to finish generating. At the time of…
I believe I was avoiding this post. So, I decided to make myself do it. On 2/17/23 I found a water leak in my home. I spent the rest of the year fighting with my homeowner’s insurance. It is a long story. On January 14th, 2024, I was able to move my family back home. That week we had snow days and classes started at UMW. I got food poisoning. My husband had a rough week and I had to…
The daily create had a cat with a camera. We were asked for the picture it was about to take. Below is a link to the assignment so you can see the picture. #tdc4398 #ds106 Cat Photographer | The DS106 Daily Create I decided to play with the AI generator on Adobe Express. I first asked for a wedding between a cat and a fish. Then a cat wedding on a beach. I decided to go with something a bit…
I am old enough to remember when DVDs were new. I had a Walkman and a Discman. I remember the sound of dial up internet. I remember life before everyone had a cell phone. I am older than Google. I love the smell of old paper books. I love the feel of paper fresh and crisp or old and soft under my fingers. So here I am making a 1st blog for digital story telling. I am behind my peers…
