Cats In Amazon

A website I use frequently for various things is Amazon. With that being said, it is definitely not my favorite since it takes all my money!!!

For my first daily create of the week, I looked through the source code of Amazon’s website. When looking through it, I put on my computer scientist hat and kept scrolling and scrolling to see how they are running their website. That is what led me to scrolling to the very end. Which is where I found a surprise…..

It was such a cute and unexpected surprise. The next thing I did for this daily create is took the screenshot of the source code to Canva for a little more creativity. At the bottom, I added paw prints and changed the colors on it to add a fading out effect. Then, I added a cat to the side who seems to be climbing up but in this case the cat is scrolling up through the page to check out some Amazon source code! Lastly, I went to Pinterest for a cat background for this post.

You can view the screenshot and what I created at the bottom of this page.

That’s all I had for this one, I think it looks purrrrfect!

Weekly Summery 11

It is Saturday night and I ain’t got no body…..(yes it is a song) I made my self into a plant!

It’s Saturday night and I ain’t got no body…

The behind-the-scenes drama that is my life has made getting schoolwork done this week difficult. I needed this daily create today.

What made me smile?

I was able to come up with an idea for my video project. It may be too ambitious for me. Won’t know until I try.

Video Plan

I found out that Ravioli Radio had some members that were having trouble with LipSync. I have used it before, so I went through and explained what I did. Don’t know if it will help more than the video that is already made. I added it to my video plan. I made Frank speak in my voice this time.

I finished my 3rd daily create on Friday.

A summary of my listening experiences.

And so, ends another week in DS106.

Listen!

I had the joy of listing to a few of the other group’s radio shows this week. I ended up missing class on Tuesday and caught the 2 shows that aired then. I was unable to make Wednesday’s broadcast. Ravioli Radio played Monday with another show. I was able to listen then too. I had an exceptional busy week with my kids, so I was unable to give the shows the attention they deserved.

I was able to catch bits and pieces of the shows. You could tell everyone put a lot of thought and work into their projects. Everyone is at a different level when it comes to computer skills. With that comes different strengths and weaknesses. I enjoyed the show, Pop Perceptive, that spoke about AI in pop culture movies. This included the Spider-Man movies and The Avengers movies. I love Spider-Man. They did a good job analyzing how AI was portrayed in different ways. Ravioli Radio had a commercial that had the same voice as Isaiah Beacon (I may have the name wrong) a tele-evangelist for AI. He was featured in Logic Pod. It was really fun to have those connect by accident. (I could be wrong the maker of the commercial only knows) It would be fun in the future to connect more of our characters in indirect ways.

Trading Car Time!

The daily create asked us to make trading cards on this website. Trading Card (visualthinkery.com)

#tdc4466 #ds106 #ds106 Let’s play #ds106 Top Trumps

I of course used Evil Brick. I went with the original with the evil eyebrows. It was a difficult choice.

MsMapex: “#tdc4466 #ds106 #ds106 Let’s …” – ds106 Social

Evil Brick is not 100% anarchist because he is somewhat organizing bricks to revolt against people.

He has zero humility. He is tired of being used and walked on. He knows he is more than that.

He is 100% evil with no remorse for any crimes he has committed. He is a brick with no softness.

He only succeeds 75% of the time making people feel the impact of the ground. He is working towards tripping 100% of his targets.

Daily Create: 04/05

This is my trading card, George Paul II. He is a primary pitcher but can also play Second Base, Short Stop, and Center Field. He is listed as 6’7 (height), 205 (lbs), with a solid lower half build. Hopefully, in a few years, he will be worth a hefty penny on the market for trading cards.

What’s Your Plan?

by Andrew Johnson

As we finished our first ever production of Three Point Chatter, I want to build off of my AI character, Jonathan, and his involvement with Aggressive Technologies. I plan to build my video about manipulating others to join the power of Aggressive Technologies since it is becoming the most forceful entity in the United States, you are either with it or not. Those who are not with it will fall in the dust and left behind for the cleanup. Something new that I tend to incorporate is having a AI voice ask questions to my Jonathan. I picked this up after listening to ds106 Radio yesterday. My main factor will be propaganda to influence people to join with the program (Aggressive Technologies), hoping they will not be left out of cutting edge artificial intelligence & market opportunities to make a boat load of money. I will most likely use iMovie to create sounds and edits so that my video comes out straight.
