Stitching Together a Movie in 4 Icons

Can Four Bits Really Relate the Whole ???

I didn’t find …
Take A Guess

Another part of this assignment was to NOT share what …

The Hardest 4 Icon Challenge Yet
I’ve been following Jim Groom’s “Name that 80s movie” 4 icon challenge series, and while he promised that they would become more difficult, I think the many summers I spent glued to the TV watching HBO for hours on end gives me an unfair advantage (I totally nailed the Flash…

From an Iconic Movie
It felt time to play a Four Icon Challenge assignment in ds106. it’s always hard to know if you make these too challenging or too easy, I am thinking this one is the latter.

From an Iconic Movie
It felt time to play a Four Icon Challenge assignment in ds106. it’s always hard to know if you make these too challenging or too easy, I am thinking this one is the latter.

“Do you like…cheese?”
