Experiments in digital creation.

A shortened week (thank you, fall break) meant that we only touched on the topics covered for about half of our regularly alotted time. However, we still managed to pack some good information in. We discussed our next project, Verification Quest, at greater length, introducing our chosen topics to the class and playing around with…

Woof. What a week. We learned about HTML and I made some personal discoveries about the dangers of leaving projects for too long unattended, and, simultaneously, doing proper research on something before deciding on a project theme in the first place. My How-To guide was over something that I had little experience in (Linux, that…

Well guys, if you saw my last post you know that I said HTML seemed like it could be fun. Based off the title alone you be able to see how incredibly wrong I was. I’m being a little dramatic. I know it and you know it but still, part of it is kind of…

This week was all about HTML! So far I think I’ve had a pretty good handle on it (if you ignore my attempts to add text over images), but there are some concepts that still confuse me. As we got deeper into Jen Simmons’s HTML tutorial, some of the concepts were a little harder to…

How-to Guide TakeawaysWe finished our how-to guides this week, and I enjoyed that project. Taking a step back to look at something I know well from a new perspective expanded my mind as I struggled to explain things I easily know how to do. Also, creating something of my own was nice. Going into future…

This will be a bit different from my usual postings. Instead of a nice clear thesis and argument, this will instead be a reflective post. Hopefully y’all will be able to learn something from this as well. Moreover, this will be a lot shorter. So, the How-To-Guides have been submitted. I feel pretty good about…

The hardest part of learning a new language is by far learning sentence structure and the order of words. The one good thing though is that once you learn a language under a specific category of languages, take for example learning a latin based language like Spanish, in theory learning other languages within that category…

I don’t want to type out a boring blog post, so I’m gonna get a little silly. I am a non-explorative brainlet. The Dark Souls player in me was sorely disappointed this week. The one and only Jen Simmons taught me that I can format my images in HTML, turning billboard size pictures into postcards.…

Jen Simmons Guide Simmons LinkedIn learning guide on HTML only got more complex with the additions of new elements. Some of which that seem not that useful right now. Like creating forms or having images resize for different devices. I am not trying to downplay the significance of those elements, but I am not building…

Computer languages–they’re different, they’re new (for most of us), and they’re exciting. This week’s class was all about HTML. We discussed some new projects we’ll take on soon involving HTML and CSS, and we played around with both languages briefly. One of the projects involves tracking (mis)information pathways, so it reminded me how important it…
