Well, here is the second of five IDM(Inspiration Design Model) posts for my “Interactive Media I”:http://class.cas.msu.edu/tc346/ class. I liked this website a lot less than the first one: “smallTransport”:http://jewlofthelotus.com/articles/2006/09/07/smalltransport-idm, but I didn’t really like that one much either…
OMG, WTF!! I totally and entirely thought that Grey’s Anatomy started next week. *still catching my breath on this one* NO ONE TELL ME ANYTHING!!!!! I will see it soon enough… Until next time.Jewls
Whoa, this Writely thing is pretty sweet! As long as you have an Internet connection, there is no need to buy Word ever again!! Here is a good article that got dugg a couple weeks back: Google’s Writely If your regularly working with text documents this could be a handy tool to access your...
Here’s an interesting interview (found on “digg”:http://digg.com/music/How_Music_Gets_you_High) with a record producer-turned-neuroscientist, who is currently researching how the brain and mind handle and interpret music. “Read the article here.”:http://www.wired.com/news/technology/medtech/0,71631-0.html?tw=wn_index_2 This guy is awesome. I am inspired just by his history alone. A guy going from a kick-ass job as a record producer for the Grateful...
About a week ago, I posted an “entry”:http://jewlofthelotus.com/articles/2006/09/07/smalltransport-idm about a website for my Interactive Media I class. Well, this entry is _not_ for that class, but it is for another class of mine – Social, Cultural and Psychological Implications of Computer-Mediated Communication (more easily referred to as “TC491″:http://class.cas.msu.edu/tc491/). Recently, we’ve been discussing online identity...
Well I just wanted to post an update so you all would know that the kids are getting along just fine. My roommate found them like this last night… !http://jewlofthelotus.com/files/2006-09-08_gibby_georgie.jpg (Gibby & Georgie)! Maybe one of the cutest things ever.
Thankfully, after three days of steady complaint, Facebook has done _something_ about the “News Feed” to calm our vexations. Early this morning, Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, posted to the Facebook blog (which was also simultaneously glued to the top of everyone’s “News Feed” – BUT with a nice little option to ‘Hide’)...
WTF is an IDM? It’s an “Inspiration Design Model” and I get to critique five of them over the next 13 weeks for my “Interactive Media I”:http://class.cas.msu.edu/tc346/ class. The professor assigns a website for us to look at and analyze, we each comment with a blog post and reply to at least one of...
So Thread got to this before I could: “Wow…WTF Facebook?!”:http://threadbox.net/articles/2006/09/05/wow-wtf-facebook
So, I’ve joined a LiveJournal Group called “Snapshot Seekers”:http://community.livejournal.com/snapshot_seeker/profile. It’s a group for people who just like to take pictures, professionally or not. Well as part of their application process, I have to promote the group in two locations. This is one of them. :) !http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/beckigurl7/Snapshot%20Seekers/scavengerhunt.jpg!:http://community.livejournal.com/snapshot_seeker/ Check it out, my application will be up...
I love cats, I always have. So, I _had_ to get a kitten of my own. KT, my last roommate, left her cat here when she moved out. Gibby (KT’s cat), had a brief friendship with our subleaser’s kitten, Maya. But when Maya left, Gibby was pretty sad. So I got her a new...
Classes have started back up again and so far it looks like this will be a pretty nice semester. I cut my course credits down to nine, which is less than full-time status, but I’m picking up three extra credits by helping out as a Studio Assistant in the audio lab (so I’m back...
Sometimes it takes me a while to see how amazing things are. And then **(big)BAM!!** all of a sudden it will come to me. At that point of realization, I will either become extremely excited or extremely confused. Like just now I realized how perfectly my floor lamp lights up my tapestry-covered bedroom during...
To me, the first entry in a new blog or journal is always the hardest. I always feel like it should live up to some First-Entry standard set by bloggers worldwide. It should be interesting, witty, and focused, right? The First Entry should set the tone for the entire life-span of a blog. Will...
