Sooo, I’ve been busy. Haven’t had the sort of time I’d like to put towards this class, but I’m here with another edition of “Take One” (I’m working on leaving some assignments, I swear!). This week, I decided to try my hand on Spreadsheet Invasion, mostly because it sounded deceptively sinister. Anyways, the concept was simple enough: create an animation using Excel. Thankfully, I have a copy of Excel installed, but to make this assignment a little easier to do I did go out and download a few tools. First off, I wanted something that would auto save my print ...

SO, as per my final project, I delved deep into the ds106.us site and found an interesting assignment I wanted to tackle this week, “An Album Cover“. The task: make a cool album cover. The challenge: the title of the band, album, and picture for the cover are all random. This sounded pretty cool to me (and very random), and I was interested to see what random names/titles/pictures I would have to work with for this assignment. Apparently there is a special wiki operator that will bring you to a random article, and I used it to find the name ...
