This is an assignment I was familiar with in the past. Â I thought it was a fun assignment and I enjoyed doing it again. Â I chose Bill Cosby because he is someone I respect and value as a comedian, father, and activist. Â He says makes a lot of statements that donât go over too well in the public but I feel the truth hurts a lot of people and thatâs why he has some negative comments about his quote. Â I provided a screen shot from my computer of the completed assignment.

While brainstorming for ideas for today’s Daily Create, “Draw/Create an image that creates a positive connotation for the word âhackingâ, I realized that I could combine this with our assignment to hack a website. What better way to give hacking a higher profile than to have the Oxford English Dictionary announce that hacking, in the sense of remixing, be the word of the year for 2013.
I used X-Ray Goggles to do the web page hacking and incorporated several chunks of text, and a couple of images, including an animated gif into the page. I found that I wasn’t able to edit all the text and tags that I wanted in the basic view, but the advanced option was more than sufficient.
We have bought new house in february 2013. My house is in one of the best locations of Regina, near to Glen Elm Library, market, bus stop and all other necessary amenities. We have very nice deck at the back where we used to enjoy at weekends. Thanks to God for his blesings!
This is my first assignment for my final project!
To begin Alice’s journey, I created a Reddit.com webpage under the assignment Storytelling Within the Web.
Using X-Ray Goggles from Hackasaurus, I edited the html of a random post that I found in the subreddit r/AskReddit.
Below is a screen capture of what the page looked like pre-X-Ray Goggles:
Once I got my hands on it with the X-Ray Goggles, I changed a few things to create the story for Alice.
I edited the page to be Alice’s post looking for the white rabbit. She had taken a photo of the white rabbit, which she tried to link on the site.
I had originally chosen a r/AskReddit page that had over 2000 comments on it, and then I realized that it would probably be better to find a page that allowed me to change all of the comments to make it more realistic… so, obviously, I decided the best option would be to find a new post that had only one or two comments. I figured, also, that Alice’s post probably wouldn’t have been very popular on the subreddit.
There are only two or three slight hints as to the identities of the people who are in the post. I didn’t want to be all obvious because most people on reddit are anonymous.
Part Two
Here is the last component of my final project! For this final assignment, I wanted to do a web assignment, so I went with one of my favourite ones, the “What They Might Have Done in Social Media” assignment.
For this one, you have to make a fake Facebook page and fake Twitter tweet. Since I’m doing Mulan for my final project, I made the social media pages applicable to her in a hypothetical high school setting.
Here’s the fake Facebook I made for her (click on the picture for the page!):
Anddd here’s the fake tweet I made:
The one problem I had making the social media pages was trying to figure out what date to put for the Facebook posts, the tweet, and Mulan’s birthday… The Disney movie never really stated when Mulan took place, so I had to Google around. I found out that Mulan is based on a Chinese legend! Who knew, right? I was reading the history of Hua Mulan, and apparently nobody really knew when the poem was written. They think it was written before the Tang dynasty (which starts in 618), so I just picked a date that was before then.
But omgosh, I can’t believe I’m done with all the components of my project! Now to put them together into a cohesive story… Look out for my next post for the finished product (:
For the next portion of my final project I completed the “storytelling within the web” assignment.
I thought it would be pretty comical if President Abraham Lincoln posted a Craigslist ad for help on how to work modern technologies, so I went for it. The process was pretty simple. First, I set up the craigslist to be for New York City, as that’s were ol’ Abe is located in the story. I then went to the “technical support jobs” section and found this ad:
I then opened up this html file with textwrangler and started messing around with the page. I started the page off with a play on the Gettysburg Address, and went from there. Here is the link to the final product: LincolnAd.
For my first assignment for this final project, I chose to do Storytelling within the Web {*****}. I wanted to introduce my character to people who have not seen the show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I thought of different ways of doing this but showing y’all her Pinterest board would really let you see who she is and what she likes.
I did this with a program called Hackasaurus. I used this program before and it was very user friendly and fun to use. It was actually kind of crazy…how can someone hack into a website and change things. I even changed pictures! It’s insane! So really, don’t believe everything you see or hear on the internet.
Coming up the pins that she would pin was easy at first but then it got challenging. I wanted to convey that she was just a normal teenage girl – but also a witch. At the same time, I wanted to introduce Libby {who plays a big role in this final story…you’ll see how later ;)}, her aunts, and her boyfriend.
Go to Sabrina’s “My Life” Pinterest board to see her board online.

For my third assignment for this final project, I chose to do Storytelling within the Web {*****} again. The reason I chose to do this assignment again was because I wanted to show how Sabrina reacted to Libby’s attempt to blackmail her. She obviously is going to seek revenge…I wanted to show everyone exactly how she was going to do that. And with what she would seek revenge with.
I spent the most time on this assignment than any other assignment I have done for this final project. I wanted to make it realistic and the webpage that I used my Hackasaurus tool on was really long. This tool amazes me every time I use it. You can really change anything!!! I changed everything from the product reviews, summary, price, and even the related objects!!! I chose to hack a Amazon web page. Yes, Sabrina is going to buy something to seek revenge on Libby.
Go to the full Amazon web page to see all of the details – even the minor ones. Just kick back, relax, and read!
Here is the product Sabrina just purchased:
Here is my favorite part about the changes I made to this web page:
Do you have any predictions about what farm animal Libby will turn into???
