Ok, this blog post is a lot things, but first and foremost it’s a welcoming! Im excited to meet everyone and share our 1st class session to connect and learn about each other. I hope that you like animated GIFS, we are going use a lot of them here, and make them too! We are going to spend a lot of time discussing ways that we communicate.  

There is a myriad of compelling content to cover this semester in CT101, which will happen in many fun ways! **This is the direct URL / Link to our class Website – https://ct101.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ <—that link is where EVERYTHING is happening for CT101. I’m not a fan of blackboard (who is?? Its outdated and clunky..) and I will only use it to remind the class about password sensitive things or send a class e-mail. Please make sure you are familiar with the CUNY academic calendar for the semester as we will follow that..

It’s officially the end of the semester! Wow it went by super fast.

30 Tips For High School Students I Wish Someone Had Told Me | Tutornova

I’m not pleased with how I performed with this class and overall this semester. I focused really hard on some classes, but kind of forgot to keep up with my other classes, resulting in a lot of stress this past month. This has always been a habit of mine unfortunately, and it has improved but not as much as I had hoped. For my overall grade in this class, I’m not quite sure, but now that all of my posts are complete I think I did ok!

I am very grateful for this class! I learned a lot about blogging as well as digital art- which although I do not love it, and it is not something I am talented at- I really appreciate other people’s work with digital art and creations!

Friend-computer GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

I learned how to create a domain name, which I did not even know that domain name meant the website link, so that was very cool! I plan to definitely hyperlink any website I need to in the future for references for viewers.

I loved using gifs and uploading images between all of my paragraphs or topics for the posts, it was a nice transition and I liked the personality that shined through.

My favorite lesson we learned was how to use mmm.page That website is so cool! Using figma was a little bit more daunting and intimidating for me, but the skills I learned from it were also very fun!

I’m majoring in Communications so I know I will need to keep a website with a domain name so that future clients, employers and friends and family can see my projects, resumé and social media platforms.

Using WordPress is a little scary for me, and sometimes aggravating. I loved how everything was made simplified versus having to use code, but I found if I was on our Commons website for too long or my own website it became sensitive and would sometimes erase my work. After the first few times that happened I learned to keep a separate copy of it on Pages or a Word Doc.

My website is complete, I removed all the dead weight from the default texts and links. I created a few pages, I uploaded my favorite photos, and I’ll continue to add more!

Assignment 3: Thou Meme Art?

What is a meme? | Sprout Social

According to the Harvard Crimson, Memes are defined as art. Cassandra Luca, a Harvard student published an article, “Yes, Those ‘Memes’ You Keep Hearing About Are Art” The article discusses what a lot of people haven’t been thinking about, but definitely should consider!

Are memes art? I think they are, and so do a lot of other people.

They are a form of creative expression, someone puts in effort to making them, whether that effort is small or very time consuming, it still takes up time in their day to develop that meme. Then they post that meme, allowing other people to react negatively or positively to that meme.

Here are some memes I found that I think people can relate to.

FINAL BLOG POST

Something I enjoyed about my CT101 class was the environment. The particular reason I enjoyed the environment of the class was that the professor gave us total creative control throughout every task that we had to do. In the future I would like to use these skills that I learned in this class by elaborating on them.

I would keep my website because it is something that I enjoyed creating and I would like to keep working on it.

This was me the summer of 2023!

From the first assignment Happy on the Internet I was excited to embark on a creative journey that I never thought possible.

In the middle of the semester, I was excited to be in a class like this because I got to show others a side of me that I do not talk about much.

The blog post I was excited for was MY PASSION . This was my favorite post because I got to put my story out to the public.

In my Mid semester reflection I recall that for my grade I should get a C but I decerve a C- bevause I really did not put that much effert as i shoul’ve into the assignments that we had to do.

 
Me right now waiting for my grade to come out for the fall 23.

 

CT101 Final Blog Post / Jonathan Cadet

I Deserve whatever’s coming to me. At this point I know I passed but to what degree, heck I’ll say a B+ because I didn’t get to comment, but we are here now! This is it for me the last class of my college life and the last final of my classes that be. I need a break and a better job just because I want one. I’ve heard the future is going to be hard, but with a lot of perseverance and confidence, I will achieve my goals. I truly am blessed to have been a part of CT101. The future is moving digital and perhaps this class was meant for me to attend. It has become my first digital footprint and I will blaze a pixel trail with more things to come.

Things I learned in CT101

      • The creative and expressive use of GIFs and communication on a digital platform.
      • Utilizing technology, AI, and other online resources to my advantage
      • The importance of communication and actively engaging with others in a digital space
      • Creating a website
      • The importance of understanding the advancing technology of the future

Creating GIFs was probably not only mine and probably many other students favorite thing to do in here. I really enjoyed making the MMM page overall the most as it gave me my first trial and error to creating my own offical website (JAYSXEAST.COM)

I was able to add many different sources of media whether it’s embedded or hyperlinked to what I want easy access to for my visitors. I really wish I had more time to sit down and do things but even so, I never picked up the habit of working on things slowly, I’m still used to vomiting content when they are near the deadline or just plain late. A part of me will hate to say this now but maybe I get a (B-) instead because of my work ethic as its own.

It was a brain exercise choosing from a list of digital projects available to use for assignment 5 where I got the chance to showcase my musical talents in a different way. Creating that audio recording for a digital story was something I never thought I would be able to do.

I have to cut this short in hopes of meeting this deadline, forgive me if this felt short.

 

Assignment 11: So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye

Well folks, here we are.
All these weeks flew by and with such speed!
They say time is a thief, but it’s really a track star, putting even some of our finest runners to shame. In this time I feel like I learned a lot about myself and my process.
I’ve always considered myself a tech-savvy individual but creating my website always seemed out of my depth for me. I never would have believed that all it would take was a few clicks and some image searching. It just felt like websites were a bit out of my depth. Although I grew up in the era of Myspace and social media sites that pushed users to edit their pages with code, I always saw it as something difficult. It was easy when I was editing my top eight to be surrounded by glitter hearts and flowers.
\

But now that time has caught up to us and the semester has come to an end I find myself facing some very interesting facts:

  1. I now own and operate my very own website
  2. That website has real, actionable content.
  3. I made, or (ethically) found all of the content that wasn’t code
  4. And I know how to do the whole thing all over again from start to finish

https://giphy.com/gifs/life-empire-cookie-lyon-1026uGcStaInmM

Now, of course, the website isn’t perfect by any means. It’s still got a pretty basic layout that I’m dying to update! However, my website has a few key things that I’m especially proud of!

Firstly? It has my very first author bio featuring a commissioned artwork of myself that I requested specifically for a purpose like this.

I ordered it something like a year ago thinking it would be my avatar on my author’s social media, but now I have my own domain! I don’t need social media to get the word out since I have my own site! Secondly? I was able to set up a contact form!

This was the most stressful part for me, despite it ultimately being very simple. A mailing list is any artists bread and butter and I’d never put in the work before to cultivate it. But now that I’ve done it feels like I’m on top of the world.


What I have now includes a menu, a coming soon page, and my author intro page. For this class, I have posted three blog posts but have also made separate web pages. For the next few weeks, I will still be working on it and after the holiday season passes I’ll start plugging it into my social media and promoting it.I’m going to hide the first chapter sneak peek and make it something they can get emailed later to catch more newsletter signups.

Beyond the technical aspects, I feel like I’ve learned so much in this class. I learned how to buy a domain name, set up a website, and work on it piece by piece. I could go through my classmates’ posts and read them all, learning so much about them and how they approach life. I’ve also learned to go easy on myself. My constant quest for perfection has left me living a life that feels… boring. I don’t want to keep cracking away at things and be too shy to share in case there are errors. I want to own every bit of it for better or for worse. A mistake isn’t the end of the world, it’s just the end of a mindset. When you touch a hot stove and get burned, you don’t drop dead into a pillar of ash, you just get a booboo. 

I’m going to move forward more comfortably with imperfection one typo at a time.

The Middle Part! Domain Expansion?

Domain Names and Some Feelings about Change

My website: VS Olivier

Thank you to everyone for your insights and company. We had a great semester this time around. Well…

Assignment 9&10: Domain Names and Some Feelings about Change

Of course, I totally neglected to take screenshots when we first set up the site 🤦‍♀️ I kept psyching myself up just to make myself make a decision that I completely lost sight of one of the key objectives. But ultimately, the site it up. It’s live. It’s real. I have my own website. My little page on the web that I can use as I see fit and worst of all? It wasn’t anywhere near as hard as I thought it would be. Now of course we always think we know how good we are at something, but I think I’ve always categorized people who make websites in an entirely separate box from me, a lifelong website visitor. 

Crossing that threshold feels… big. Like I’m really doing something different. I don’t know how I want the site to look or how I want to put things up or what but I’m sure I’ll figure something out by looking at other author sites. Yes, the writing won!

My first order of business? I had to ask ChatGPT how to make this website look like something and find a little Linkedin Learning Course (free for all CUNY York College students, faculty and staff!) to guide me in the right direction. For a while, it’s going to look like the default, but I want to get it a nice sleek look that will inspire the hearts of potential readers to lend me their eyes (and wallets). 
Luckily I have a few friends who have published books with beautiful websites so I will be asking them for tips and advice in the meantime.

Assignment 7: The Middle Part! Domain Expansion?

So far I think I’ve learned a lot more in this course than I thought I would. Initially, I joined because I thought it would be interesting to discover what it was like to be in a class with a professor who has a perfect score on rate my professor and to see what has changed in the field of communications since I got my first degree. I think my first two posts were weak compared to my more recent posts. I wasn’t quite sure of what to put hyperlinks-wise because I didn’t make a habit of reading blogs back in the day. Even when I was a kid scrolling the internet freely, I wasn’t looking at blogs I was looking for anime and Japanese language tutorials. And even when I started blogging it was on micro blog sites like Tumblr where you post and repost as you like. I’ve never had an intentional blogging practice before.

I feel like this class has trained my eye to look more carefully at things than ever before. Now when I’m scrolling I try to scroll less and really take things in. When I watch things I’m thinking “that might make a cool gif”. Speaking of, I never even knew I could make gifs before. I would be so impressed with gifset makers when I was on Tumblr, thinking they had some crazy, unattainable skill when I could have just taken a tutorial and been amongst their ranks! 

It really challenged the way I saw content creation as well. I won’t go so far as to say it’s easy, but I think that having an established content creation practice where you take the time to put yourself out there and hone your skills as you go is much more manageable than I’ve been thinking. When YouTube first came out I was watching videos already so impressed and now those same people have amazing camera quality and professional editing they probably never imagined being able to afford. 

When you watch something change right before your eyes it can be hard to realize that change is happening at all. But you can’t compare your day one to someone else’s day one thousand. Despite knowing this I’m still anxious about the prospect of setting up my own website. The idea of making a site and having to commit to an idea makes me queasy. I’ve known this was coming the whole semester and yet I’m still torn about what to choose. On one hand I could finally make a photography website and live my best life with my camera and my cellphone. But on the other hand, this could be a low-stakes way for me to start my author website to drum up interest for my debut novel and other writing projects. I could take this time to really commit and dedicate myself to the craft.

I’m still too wishy washy at this point to make a decision but we have time. I know the answer will come to me, even if I just decide on impulse [Note: I did end up deciding on impulse]. I think I still have a lot to learn and improve so far, especially since I fell behind a bit, but I think I’m starting to get what this whole thing is all about. Even if I’m not, I’m still enjoying the process of a collaborative learning environment.

Final Blog Post CT 101!!

IM GRADUATING THIS SEMESTER GUYS!! Ive been a student since 2017 (i know dont make fun of me) it has truly been a rollercoaster for the past 7 years! Im really proud of myself for making it this far and finishing despite countless setbacks and obstacles. Lets talk about how this semester went for CT 101!
Ive had to keep giving myself pep talks this whole semester to make sure i dont F it up!! But ive been hit with so many things at once, my performance in CT 101 isnt what i would have liked for it to have been. I probably averaged out with an overall C for effort but ive been getting my butt kicked with school and work and personal life. But the cool thing is CT 101 never felt like a drag or like i didnt want to do it. Everything felt interesting and interactive.
I feel super accomplished though  because i was able to create a website about climbing! To be honest registering the domain and the basics wasn’t hard at all. But creating details, organization, and utilizing all the different tools on word press was actually super confusing. Even though professor gave detailed instructions, personally it was just really hard for me to get a grasp of this stuff. I’ve never been good with computers in general, but it was good to get pushed out of my comfort zone and learn new things.
This is how i would have liked to finish this semester, but instead im finishing it like this!
Here are some of my blog posts this semester!
and my website is https://fastyogi.com
It was an honor to build a website i love about climbing! I wanted to make it a funny and cool area that climbers would relate and feel comfortable in! I chose the name fast yogi because my nickname is yogi, and fast yogi is my climbing instagram! It all just fit so well and clicked really quickly for me! I struggled with using the different tools and organizing the content in specific ways. I did have fun creating a unique and funny About and Contact page! I limited my page to three blog posts, and i created 3 blog posts featuring different famous climbers that have really paved a way for the climbing community!
This is just some satire from the About page that i had alot of fun playing around with and customizing to my liking. I wanted to make it funny but serious at the same time. So yea i hope you all enjoy the website because honestly im pretty proud of it!

Assignment 6: Immediacy? Please don’t rush!

When I opened figma I instantly closed the tab and said: nope!

No Way Reaction GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

I know this assignment is all about creativity but I’m actually terminally avoidant of overly blank canvases. I preferred mmm because it had a ‘smaller’ canvas and I was able to really consider what I wanted to do within the confines of those restrictions. I drew out a little starting point to get the mental juices flowing. 

Back in 2012 my college had this mandatory freshman orientation where we were basically kept awake from dusk till dawn the week before classes started. It was, as I was later told, partially a way for us to get used to the campus but also a way to keep us from becoming homesick that first week and having a breakdown. It was torture and the summer was especially hot so we were baking in the sun for our “week of pre class fun”.

The one reprieve was the daily ‘workshop’ we were each allowed to choose a class that seemed interesting and go with a small group to participate. Some chose soccer, theater, or some kind of science experiment. I ended up choosing bookbinding. I had no idea what it entailed as I had never previously bound a book but the professor who ran the workshop that day was also a professor for the art program, not someone hired in or borrowed from another campus. 

She was completely at ease as she showed us around the classroom and explained the process of what we would be doing that day. Each of us was presented with the components for a book: thicker cover paper, multiple sheets of interior paper, a needle, and thread to bring it on home. But we were also presented with a massive stack of magazines to peruse. I was initially confused but the professor went on to explain that the book needed a cover and a part of the exercise would be to cut out and paste these clippings in a way that spoke to us. 

Disney Shrug GIF by O&O, Inc - Find & Share on GIPHY

Now I weirdly have this fear about collages. I hate to cut things out of magazines because I feel like it ruins the magazine and destroys the “perfection” of a thoughtfully arranged piece of print. Exacto knifing out a tangerine felt like punting a baby penguin to me. Easy, but unimaginably traumatizing. I cannot explain to you in words how difficult it was to make that first cut. I truly agonized over it. 

Sad Girl GIF by susi - Find & Share on GIPHY

But cut I did. And after the first one, it was easier. There was no more sanctity to protect so I went through looking for things to pull together to suit my vision. The piece is now lost to time but I put together a sort of sunset using a single actual sun and a collection of unrelated images that came together just so to trick the mind into thinking “wow. This is the sky.” I felt so happy and proud during my little show-and-tell session at the end after we’d all sewn our books.

Behold Riot Games GIF by League of Legends - Find & Share on GIPHY

I couldn’t get quite the same feeling from this assignment as I decided to tackle a different anxiety: scrapbooks. I love scrapbooking. In theory. In practice I have the same fear of imperfection like “what if I lay this doilies lace around this photo so wrong that my house burns down?” I don’t know what God of Scrapbooking I would have to offend to make that happen but it lingers all the same. I collected a few images that were related to my interests and then combined them with little stickers that mmm provided. 

Please Clap Jeb Bush GIF by MOODMAN - Find & Share on GIPHY

While I tend to have a similar concern about the daunting permanence of sticker placement in the virtual field I felt as free a bird. Placing and replacing with ease as I made my design come to life. I knew I was done because it just made me happy to look at in the end.

Marie Kondo GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

Everything had color and movement and flowed well to me. It reminded me of the brief period when I would decorate my laptop with stickers (until I found out it tanked the resale value).

You asked what it means to be alive. Maybe nothing, honestly. Not in some, “Woe is me!” sort of sense but in a cosmic sense. Maybe being alive has no meaning. It’s like the wind and the rain and the sun. Life and being alive happen because they must. All things have their cycles and the part that makes me happiest is that we as humans get to make our own meaning. We get to decide what our lives mean, and what our loved ones mean to us. Whether or not to even have loved ones. I’m still discovering what my life means. It might not mean anything to the greater cosmos but maybe the discovery is the point. Maybe my purpose is to learn and keep learning and sharing that knowledge.  Either way, I’ll be the one to make my own meaning for myself in this life.

Here’s The mmm

Assignment #11– The Last Of CT 101

Tried something out with the title for this one haha.

It’s the end of a *really* grueling semester. So much has happened in my life over the last 15+ weeks. 

Semester Memes for University Students | UniversityStudent.org

Despite all that has happened in my life during the course of the semester, I’ve procrastinated much more times than I could count. Although I knew I could make it through, life just kept getting in the way and the workload from other classes became so unbearable. Try balancing that out with working on multiple commissions on the side along with planning and performing for a talent show… it was just one thing after the next. But I had to finish the semester strong!

I feel that I’ve maintained at least a B in this class. I was a bit behind with a few blog posts, but now I’m all caught up. Commenting on other blog posts were a challenge not because I didn’t want to, I just didn’t get to make the time to do so. However, It was truly a pleasure learning about different types of art, memes, and digital storytelling. The history behind blogging; everything is categorized separately but they all unite together to create something special.

ct 101 meme – CT101 Digital Storytelling

I was always fascinated about having my own website and using it to talk about my passions and interests and sharing my experience with others. I definitely see myself continuing on with my blog website. Since the semester is over, I have a lot more time to focus on my website. There are still a few features I am navigating through.

My published blogs:

Assignment #1 – Ramen Hacks

Assignment #2– When Words Fail, Art Speaks

Assignment #3– Are Memes Art?

Assignment #4– What I Am Passionate About

Assignment #5– Journey To The Center Of Digital Storytelling

Assignment #7– Mid Semester Reflection

Assignment #9 & #10– Domain Name, Registering: Pt. 1 & 2

Domain

thebrianf.com

The name of my website is pretty straightforward. I went with the thebrianf as the name, which is the same as my Instagram handle (@thebrianf) and it’s something easy for people to remember. There are several people I know that call me by my Instagram handle whenever they see me. My goal is to keep my blog site filled with various things I am passionate about such a pro wrestling, TV shows and movies, food and my experiences at shows, concerts and what not!

 

Building a website wasn’t as difficult as I made it out to be. The Zoom recordings were very helpful. Something that felt very frustrating  became much easier to do with guidance and practice. I guess it’s my patience haha. Once I started playing around with the site, it all worked out well.

 

Assignment #9 + #10 Domain Name, Registering Pt. 1 and 2

Overall, registering my own domain was pretty easy. It didn’t take me too long to find a name. “Once you choose a domain name, you can’t change it” was stuck to my brain while I was in the process of choosing it. But it didn’t take very long to make that choice.

I chose Twenty Twenty One as my theme and chose a solid purple background. In the future I’ll go with something different. In the mean time, I’ll keep it simple.

I went with the thebrianf as the name, which is the same as my Instagram handle (@thebrianf) and its something easy for people to remember. There are several people I know that call me by my Instagram handle whenever they see me.

 

https://thebrianf.com

Now that I’ve chosen & registered my domain name, I started to add a few of my favorite blog posts that I have posted to here to CT101  and correlate best to who I am as an individual.

So far, the website has been easy to navigate.

Overall, I was stressed out about the process. But after getting it done. I felt like I accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.

Going forward, I will be using my website to share my experiences with traveling and going to wrestling events. I would also love to provide step by step cooking tutorials/recipes as well as TV/movie reviews.
