Beam Me Up, Noddy!

I beamed Noddy out of the skip. Now he’s safe and helping out Scotty on the Enterprise.

This is my first time using Gimp. I found this helpful video on YouTube to guide me in editing Noddy the hell out of there.

Daily Create tdc1180 Sound Map

For my first ever Daily Create, I chose to create a sound map of my town. This is my first time using either Audacity or Soundcloud.

I had a busy day running errands, so instead of walking around in nature recording sounds, I recorded myself in the car, talking on my cellphone. The audio is me leaving the house, jumping in the car, trying to find anything interesting on the radio – a feat in itself because out in the country we don’t have great reception – and then talking on the cellphone in French with my doctor’s secretary to arrange for me to stop by and pick up a prescription.

“So,” the Senior Vice-President said. “Tell me a little bit about yourself and why you think you’d be the best candidate for the job.”

Hi,

I’m Brett de Villiers. I’m signing up for the Open ds106 course, ignoring that little voice inside my head that says I have no time for this class.

As I started going through bootcamp (ahem, 2 weeks ago), I was unemployed and looking for work. In addition to sending off CV’s and cover letters to potential employers, I had also been looking for MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses) to sharpen my marketing skills, and to make me a more interesting candidate. That’s when I stumbled upon ds106.

Standing outside the classroom door, I’m a bit nervous about opening it. Thoughts and questions race through my mind.

“What the hell am I thinking? I haven’t got a creative bone in my body. Can I really do this? Will I be able to handle it?
