Monday, November 2, 2009. Book report: The Dumbest Generation, by Mark Bauerlein. In his book The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes our Future* *Or, Dont Trust Anyone Under 30. Was this book the alarmist rant of an aging professor fearing the loss of this country? In a way, yes. Could Bauerlein have taken a more sympathetic tone when talking about youth?

Sunday, November 8, 2009. New media writing reflection. I chose to work with audio, since my experience editing audio is limited. I used audacity a few times at my former job to create the soundtrack to audio slideshows, which were always simple edits with only one or two clips. for the class assignment, i wanted to do something a little more sophisticated. 1 listen to clips provided. 2 listen to clips provided again because i forgot what they sounded like. 4 finally upload some clips into audacity.

kitchen synch: April 2011

Monday, April 4, 2011. One of the scarier moments of my urban existence is traversing a broken escalator. it's an irrational fear, i know, but i can't help fantasizing the mechanism waking up mid-stride. contrarily, i somehow can't resist taking a chance and choosing it over a safe, static staircase. Hiking has been on my mind lately. there is a healthy, inherent fear i hold while hiking. one misstep and i'm pinballing amongst trees and crags and snakes! Technology is scary sometimes.

reading reactions: interview with andrew feenberg

Sunday, October 25, 2009. Interview with andrew feenberg. It was interesting to read what feenberg had to say about user influence on design. as a user, i tend to take for granted that designers/technicians design and create with me in mind. apparently, i tend to be wrong. his anti-deterministic view of technology brings to mind my own thoughts on free will and destiny. In this way, users contribute to the design of technologies, though it is almost always after the fact. Read my real blogs.

Monday, October 19, 2009. Pew internet report: measuring our online footprint. This pew report explores a shift in perceptions and realities of privacy in a digital and transparent age. as we register on more and more social and media sites, we reveal more and more about who we are. as the report states early on, "the more content we contribute voluntarily to the public or semi-public corners of the Web, the more we are not only findable, but also knowable.".

Monday, September 28, 2009. Todd Kappelman's critique of McLuhan's "The Medium is the Message". I read this article before doing the other two readings, and it served as a nice introduction to what I was about to get into. A conclusion I drew from this reading is that it seems we are constantly creating new technologies to make new extensions which make up for the amputations created with other technologies.

Sunday, October 25, 2009. The design of everyday things. The relationship between makers and users is not something i've ever really considered before this week's reading assignments. david norman states that the reader will not look at anything the same after reading his book, and after reading the intro and a chapter, i believe this is true. Interview with andrew feenberg. It was interesting to read what feenberg had to say about user influence on design. as a user, i tend to take for granted that ...
