[soundcloud params=”auto_play=false&show_comments=true”]http://soundcloud.com/mbransons/vader-answering-machine[/soundcloud] Preparing for the audio portion of ds106, I decided to create a new assignment, “Movie Voice Machines.” This idea was inspired by a Tim Owens blog post, “This American Life Sex Tape,” which talked about an awesome audio riff on the amazing audio storytellers from This American Life. For Movie Voice Machines you…

Smoke, Fuel, Burn
Rimi ‘Kookaburra’ Morita posted a cropped sign assignment a couple of days ago giving a unique interpretation of Cogdog’s Assignment. But more importantly Rimi’s post was the first post (tagged correctly) to appear in that assignment’s stream.

4 Icon Challenge – They Said I Led a Dull Life
I still enjoy making my own icons for this assignment using the live trace tool in Illustrator. I made a quick tutorial of how I do this using the Dr. Oblivion image as my example to convert a bitmap to vectors. And please guess away, the biplane should be the tell tale icon for most!

Week Three – DS106 Says Design
We’re into the third week of ds106 and sadly our poor Prof. Oliver Lindenbrook seems a bit out of sorts. So I’ve brought my friend Chris Stein to talk about design, as well as discuss some of our favorite ds106 visual and design assignments.

Any Threes?
This seemed to be the best way I could find to comment on Alan Levine’s Animated MacGuffin which is now a “MacGIFfin”. And if you know this scene in The Sting, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) set’s up Harry Gondorf (Paul Newman) with a hand of four threes, which he is to beat with his setup…
