_cokwr: So I wanted to submit a new visual assignment. All of us, most of us anyways, have a dream car. This is a simple assignment. Take a picture, or find a picture on the web of a car that you love. Then, write a description of how that car make you feel. That's it. Short and simple. This combines the visual of a car, with the story telling aspect, of how an object make you feel. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://blog.mg79mkiv.info/?p=239, _chk2m: MG79MKiV, _ciyn3: 123, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

_cokwr: Write fanfic about your favourite blogger(s). Maybe someone in or around ds106, maybe somebody elsewhere you read regularly. What do they get up to? What are their secret thoughts and dreams? How do they get on with other bloggers? Obviously these stories are likely to be pretty ridiculous, but they should never be any more ridiculous than blogging itself., _cpzh4: Fanfic, _cre1l: http://eduslash.wordpress.com/, _chk2m: Fr Vivian O'blivion, _ciyn3: 151, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

_cokwr: Take six very short fragments (less than one second each) from six different songs and ensemble them into a single piece. Expect others to guess which six songs you have used. Basic rules: 1) do not repeat songs 2) do not use covers (unless the cover is much better than the original, sh*t happens) 3) John Cage's 4'33'' is not a song!!! , _cpzh4: Audio, _cre1l: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxxEab7nHfE, _chk2m: procsilas, _ciyn3: 89, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

_cokwr: This one is simple. Just find something around the house that you enjoy using, find helpful on a day-to-day basis, or even something that you own but don't find worth the money you payed for it. Once you have your item, record yourself giving a product review. Be thorough, don't just skim the surface with general comments. Show us how the item works, what it's used for, what it's features are, what you think of it, etc., _cpzh4: Video, _cre1l: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW9IQou5xkA, _chk2m: Joe Proffitt, _ciyn3: 154, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
