Blog for MSTU 4049, Teachers College, Columbia. June 14, 2006. Please, no more signage! Posted by techlit under Kress. I am becoming obsessed with Kress! In particular, his notion of signage. In chapter five he discusses spatial reasoning, influences and the political agendas behind signs. He demonstrates this by showing the political value of. In Australia, England, Argentina, France, and the US, we read and write from left-to-right, however I found the following:. What can we make of all this? This lea...

My Own Criminal Mind | I wander thro' each charter'd street
https://kellybarclay.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/my-own-criminal-mind
I wander thro' each charter'd street. Kelly Barclay lost amidst London fogs. My Own Criminal Mind. British people (or at least people who program British television) really love American police procedurals. At any time of the day, somewhere on my 500 or so channels there will be multiple Law and Orders. I like watching the Law and Orders because they’re filmed in NY (CSI: NY epic FAIL as it’s taped in LA), but I’ve found lately that I’ve become increasingly addicted to Criminal Minds. It also luridly foc...

Joy Division | I wander thro' each charter'd street
https://kellybarclay.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/joy-division
I wander thro' each charter'd street. Kelly Barclay lost amidst London fogs. I like Joy Division. They are, in fact, my favorite band. They’re not the easiest to listen to or the most prolific but they’re quality. The drums are just nearly off-beat, creating an urgent but disorienting, almost frightening sound. In both music and production this band are genius. But I don’t want to be disingenuous. Joy Division were special because of Ian Curtis. And the turmoil of that difficulty combined with a hopeless...

Fear and Loathing in Islington | I wander thro' each charter'd street
https://kellybarclay.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/fear-and-loathing-in-islington
I wander thro' each charter'd street. Kelly Barclay lost amidst London fogs. Fear and Loathing in Islington. Friday night I was on my way home from a pub in Islington. A friend walked me to the bus stop it wasn’t that late, around midnight, but we were going the same way. After he left I pulled out my mobile to check my email and a man came up to the bus stop. He was creepy. He skulked. He looked like the love child of Tommy Wiseau. Do you want a cigarette? The man stepped a bit closer. You look. The bus...

The 1950s are calling | I wander thro' each charter'd street
https://kellybarclay.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/the-1950s-are-calling-and-they-want-their-lifestyle-back
I wander thro' each charter'd street. Kelly Barclay lost amidst London fogs. The 1950s are calling. I’ve found that in many ways the UK is far advanced over the US in the rights and treatment of women: birth control, for example, is free in the UK. The Church of England allows fully ordained women. They’ve even had a female prime minister over here (even if she was vile). During the tournament we talked about starting a women’s team for the regular 5-a-side company league on Wednesday nights (as there’s ...

Paranormal something | I wander thro' each charter'd street
https://kellybarclay.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/paranormal-something
I wander thro' each charter'd street. Kelly Barclay lost amidst London fogs. I went to see Paranormal Activity 2. Today I watched the original Paranormal Activity. And it scared the hell out of me so my friend asked, Didn’t you sleep with the lights on for a week after seeing the first one? I said I did. He said, Then why are you seeing the second one? My monsters of choice are demons. I think it’s because they embody pure, supernatural evil and I don’t believe in evil. That’s not to say I don’t ...Peopl...
