Course Audit Feedback 2
In which I awkwardly try to explain my thoughts, part two. Taking this course as audit-only meant that my anxiety about getting a good grade was significantly eased, but it also meant that there was a risk I would feel like I was putting a lot of work in for no reward. HOWEVER, I was…

Final Project
In which I make a plan for another Omeka site.

Spinning a Yarn With Twine
In which I write a mediocre game (no shame). I have to admit, I know very little about games, or gaming. I have played video games, but I am really picky and have never really enjoyed the “point and shoot games” and unfortunately, for a very long time I incorrectly assumed that is what most…
