ASCII Art
















This weeks project featured ASCII art. I've never worked with this kind of art before but I have seen it before. I actually loved making some of it and it was actually really easy to do with the help of two different programs. The first pictures that I have with this post are of my Mustang. The original picture is on the left and the other is ASCII through text-image.com. I played around with the settings from and changed the text to "Mustang" just to clarify the car in case if anyone wasn't sure what it was. The second picture is the same that I used for last weeks project of a cow. This picture was transformed into ASCII through glassgiant.com. Between the two, I think I prefer text-image.com just because of the customization factor. Everything that I was able to change was on the same page so it made trying different combinations super easy. Both sites give you the chance to change up your pictures a bit.
All-in-all I think they turned out pretty good. I don't know if I could change much more on them then I already tried when I was playing around with settings, so I don't think I would go to much further with either of them. The most difficult part was honestly choosing pictures to use. I spent probably around 20 minutes scrolling through images off of my laptop.

Daily workout vlog

I thought it might be kind of cool to switch it up a bit and do a vlog showing one of my workouts. I kind of explain why I do what I do in the video along with a little bit of information about full body workouts. Enjoy!

Mashup Videos Are A Fun Challenge

My Digital Media class this semester has been full of exercises that have been an absolute blast to do and make. The last assignment was to compose a small piece of music using online software. This week, we were to create a mashup video of any public domain video we could find, include our music, and make a coherent video. Why my geeky self has never thought to do this on my own before, I will never know. I actually ended up making a couple of mashup videos throughout the two weeks that we were able to work on this. I've done small bits of editing in the past with iMovie for POV videos while I played hockey, but this was taking it to a whole other level. I ended up deciding to create a mashup of Game of Thrones and Star Wars. I'm a huge fan of each series so it made it super easy to pick out a focus for the video. Finding content was a little bit harder just because both franchises are creating content. Not much of it has been added to the public domain. I used archive.org...

Food, Food, Food

If you're like me, meal times are something that you look forward to throughout each day. I love food, and not just because I have to have it to survive. The trouble is eating healthy. Healthier food tends to be more expensive and take longer to prepare than a cheeseburger from McDonald's. We spend so much time throughout the day working, working out, and traveling. Why would we want to spend more time and energy making healthier food? Easy answer is it's better for you of course. The more difficult answer is the results that you will see when combined with workouts will come faster and more consistently. A little FYI, fad diets do NOT work! They are not good for your body. There's a reason that the food pyramid exists. Our bodies need everything that is included on that pyramid. Cutting out a certain food group like carbs is not going to lead to long term results. It'll work short term, but that means you're normally just losing water weight. Ther...
