Google Translate Fail
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
In this 2 star assignment, I had to find a website that was in a foreign language and laugh at how awful the translation is when pressing the translate to English button using Google Chrome. This was pretty easy assignment because I already had an idea what website I was going to look at in a different language. That site was the Spanish NBA website, which I had heard about in one of my other classes this semester. So I went to the website using Google Chrome and pressed the translate button after reading what it said in Spanish. I ...

“Google … I am not a Number …,” animated GIF by @aforgrave I like Visual Assignment 1244: Illustrating Odd Autocompletes. I’ve done it a couple of times before, although I can’t find any examples in my Media Library and it’s not showing up in the Assignment Bank examples. Maybe it’s in the Assignment Bank more than once? Like maybe in the AnimatedGIFAssignments? For this one, I didn’t necessarily illustrate the odd autocompletes, but there are a couple good ones in there. “I am number four.” (Six would not say that.) “I am not a robot.” “I am not a nugget shirt.” ...

“Friends are True Friends” animated GIF by @iamTalkyTina Well, I went to the Assignment Bank to get today’s assignment, and the Animated GIF Assignment 977 “Fruedian Alphabet” by Tom Woodward (@twoodwar)looked like fun, except for the typing in “I Hate …” part, so I changed mine to a nicer one “Friends Are True Friends” and I got a whole bunch of nice stuff to make a great GIF for my Friends, New Friends, Open Friends, True Friends, Super True Friends, Still True Friends, Real Friends, and other people who aren’t my Friend yet but will be one day. I hope ...

It’s remix time! For my first remix assignment, I’ve decided to Create My Own SuperPAC! The handy-dandy SuperSuperPAC Name Generator mentioned in the assignment was very helpful, as I didn’t have any solid ideas for how to approach this. It generated the following gems: Hype The Nanny State Foundation Rock Free Pizza Horde Resurrect Outdoor Grilling Collective Enrich The Stars and Stripes Foundation Super Chill Not Being Tread On Horde Ebullient Not Listening Legion Good-looking Internet Committee Affirm The Purple Mountain Majesty Each of these names was fabulous in its own way, but I decided to go with Good-Looking Internet ...
Wait, Where’d That Pioneer Come From?

The Assignment: This assignment by shannotate is as follows: “Photoshop someone(s) (or something(s)) into a picture that isn’t supposed to be there.” I thought the original photo produced was absolutely hilarious!! apparently, the Chinese government took pictures of three officials inspecting a road. When the propaganda people got to them, they said the background wasnt interesting enough, and proceeded to crop the officials out and change the background and their positions. The chinese public noticed and photoshopped these officials EVERYWHERE, on the moon, in natural disasters, with dinosaurs, and even President Obama. I was cracking up so much in class that I decided to do this assignment with our pioneer: Grace Hopper. Enjoy. ...
The Evil Apple

Dear DS106, Don’t be afraid of the takeover of Google. A far greater threat to our world is the evil, all powerful Apple. You see, money is the root of all evil, and Apple has a few billion more than Google. Back in the 1990s, Apple was a sad place. The computers were awful and a joke. But then, The Almighty Jobs was begged back to his company. He slowly reinvented Apple. Apple’s CEO The Almighty Jobs was basically the entire company. This man was a noble man. He only paid himself $1 a year. But, soon we all realized ...
When In Rome: A Street View Story

I had been playing around with the idea of using a combination of Google Street View and sound effects from the Freesound.org project for awhile now. Today’s news that Google now has Street View inside of famous landmarks is all the prodding I needed to start playing. My recommendation is to wear headphones and watch this full screen if possible.
