Week 10 Lab:TEDEd Videos: Style

-
For this week, I chose to do the story lab TEDEd Videos: Style. The Power of Creative Constraints by Brandon Rodriguez caught my eye. When I think of the word "constraints" I think about limitations and barriers. However, this video saw creative constraints as a way to guide decision making. It allows for iterative and innovative thinking. What "Orwellian" Really Means by Noah Tavlin was interesting to me because I have not heard of the word "Orwellian" so I did not know what it "really" meant either so I learned something new. Orwellian is used to mean authoritarian. Orwell was a writer who wrote a book called "1984" which talked about a fictional totalitarian government. When "Orwellian" began to mean authoritarian the meaning of the word was not conveying it, but undermining it. It is in a sense an abuse to the language. I thought that it was an interesting thought.

I work at Charlestons in Norman on weekends as a server and a lab technician at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation on weekdays. To take a break from all this work, I have a dog. He is an Australian Shepherd whose name is Rocky after my favorite rapper A$AP Rocky. I got him last summer, and it’s been quite a jour...

Note: This story is now part of my  Porfolio  website. This website will have the more current version. In a swamp you could hear the hungry whines of a young crocodile. "Dad, I am so hungry! I think I might die if I don't eat soon. We haven't eaten in 2 days," said the young crocodile. "I know son, but there are no animals left for us to eat," said the crocodile. "I am so hungry I might even try to eat the fruits off of the trees,",said the young crocodile. "Well let me know when you can climb up a tree," said the crocodile chuckling. "Better yet, how about you bring that monkey so we can eat him," said the young crocodile with his eyes gleaming and his stomach growling. "Son, the monkey is my friend. I don't eat my friends," said the crocodile. However, as the days went on the crocodile became hungrier and his son's whining became louder. "Fine, I will convince the monkey that this is like any ...
