  1. Nice one. I didn't even know about this assignment. Looking at it on the ds106 site, it looks like it was tremendously popular last spring.

    Maybe now that you've revived it this semester, other will realize what a cool and fairly simple assignment it is too complete.

    I particularly like the album title. It's kind of interesting to see what random can bring you. And who knows? Some of these random words, phrases and images could actually inspire something new.

    Thanks for your comment!!

    Im really sorry that my explanation is not enough...I put some information about this assignment and my stuff.
    I think now you can understand what kinds of assignment did I do.

    putting all random works together is sometimes so hard, but is this case, it is more fun!!

  3. This is a really interesting mash-up of ideas/words/stuff! What's most interesting I think is how some parts actually seem to fit and could be part of a real album.

    Makes you wonder how much effort goes into "real" albums and if the (assumedly) laborious process is actually worth it

  4. Good observation about the surprising connections among random elements.

    I often wonder about this myself.

  5. Speaking of which, this reminds me of this little Wikipedia trick: http://www.the30seconds.com/blog/2011/09/26/wikipedia-everything-leads-to-philosophy/

    Try it out, it actually works! I think it's really interesting how things eventually relate back to one another, even on Wikipedia, and that the site was one of the main draws for this assignment as well.
