My Perspective: Spring Break 2007...It's Oh So Close!
http://sam-samsam-sam.blogspot.com/2007/03/spring-break-2007its-oh-so-close.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Spring Break 2007.It's Oh So Close! Is almost upon us, and I think I say this for everyone:. Everyone seems to be going some place nice and warm like Mexico or Florida, and if I were a betting man, which I actually am, I’d put my money that there will be more than one post about spring break plans. So, what about me you ask? I will be spending my time mostly in good old. My girlfriend is going to be gone most of the break and I don’t believe any one will be left in. Although wi...

My Perspective: Bottoms-Up!
http://sam-samsam-sam.blogspot.com/2007/04/bottoms-up.html
Monday, April 23, 2007. Is the latest reading that we have embarked on. For starters, I’d like to say that this is my favorite and the most interesting read we have had this semester, as it makes you think about very complex and deep issues without confusing you too much. Through the introduction and first chapter we have read, the major theme is simply introducing the idea of emergence and giving examples of it. The book goes over some interesting emergent examples, which really help to show the ideas.

My Perspective: What's Stealing and What Is Creative Sampling?
http://sam-samsam-sam.blogspot.com/2007/03/whats-stealing-and-what-is-creative.html
Sunday, March 18, 2007. What's Stealing and What Is Creative Sampling? I think there are a few key components to delineate between stealing and acceptable sampling. The most important one is the spirit of the sampling. If someone is using the sample as a building block to something completely different, then there is no harm done and it is acceptable. Scratching. And could Franklin have obtained her information without someone developing the X-ray diffraction technique before her? I think that there is a...

My Perspective: April 2007
http://sam-samsam-sam.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2007. For starters, it is interesting how ants are able to keep a colony growing and functional when only the queen ant lives more than a year. Now, I’m confused what the purpose of the 1 day lifespan of male ants is to begin with, if the queen ant lays all the eggs, so please explain this to me if you know! But how can a 15-year colony work with only 1-year contributions from each ant? Monday, April 23, 2007. Is the latest reading that we have embarked on. The question though is how do...

My Perspective: Cyberculture: It's Everywhere!
http://sam-samsam-sam.blogspot.com/2007/04/cyberculture-its-everywhere.html
Sunday, April 15, 2007. This past week, we had two readings, one being Auge’s book about Non-Places. But since I already touched on that in the last post when finding a non-place, I’d like to base this blog off the other short reading we had. In Jeff Rice’s book, Writing About Cool,. We read Chapter 14, entitled Cyberculture. Rice writes about the extremely broad amount of media that form cyberculture. It is so prevalent that he goes on to analyze differences between websites. Just look at this screensho...

My Perspective: Are We Really Cyborgs Like RoboCop?!
http://sam-samsam-sam.blogspot.com/2007/03/are-we-really-cyborgs-like-robocop.html
Monday, March 26, 2007. Are We Really Cyborgs Like RoboCop? Last week the only reading we had was the introduction from Andy Clark’s book “Natural Born Cyborgs”. It was a very interesting read and definitely opened my eyes up to the technology around us, even if I slightly disagree with his use of the term cyborg. Essentially, the point of Clark’s introduction is to lay the foundation for proving that we are “natural-born cyborgs” (3), and he does so very convincingly. I think this is a lot like how to s...

My Perspective: My Blog Redefined
http://sam-samsam-sam.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-blog-redefined.html
Sunday, June 17, 2007. It's been awhile since I last posted, since the end of my English 201 class really. The blog had been used of course for english assignments, making the name "My English Perspective" appropriate. But now it has been renamed to "My Perspective" as I will use it to share my thoughts with various things such as Harry Potter, sports, school and more! Um, update your blog. NOW.
