IF Code from Class 03/27
March 28, 2008 – 5:27 pm
I have posted the code from the collaborative story “The Good, The Bad, and The Lolli” done in class. I took the liberty of dressing it up quite a bit. There are minimal interactions but the map, locations, and characters are all there (I think there was a piano player but I cannot remember the [...]
Skype on the iPhone?
March 14, 2008 – 9:46 am
This article from the New York Times caught my eye this morning.
iPhone 2.0 will turn this phone into an engineering tool, a game console, a free-calls Skype phone, a business tool, a dating service, an e-book reader, a chat room, a database, an Etch-a-Sketch…
Doninger, Free Speech, and Borders
March 5, 2008 – 9:57 am
Reportage from the Second Curcuit Court of Appeals is coming in on the Avery Doninger case, an item often in the post space here. This case is about relationships. These relationships should not be overcomplicated.

February 29, 2008 – 11:27 pm
Sure, Facebook and My Space are popular, but what about Virb. What makes for the difference in usage.
Is Virb not better presented. What’s the difference?
And what about hypertext comedy?
It would seem perfect for the genre: what did the glow worm say to the other glow worm? . . .
I did find this [...]
Music & New Media
February 17, 2008 – 11:22 am
One more idea for blog posts for today:
Perhaps the most talked-about effects new media has had (and continues to have) is how it has changed music, the music industry, as well as how we experience (listen) it.
From the advent of the CD, MP3s, the iPod, software, recording techniques, and more, how has new media changed [...]
Photography & New Media
February 17, 2008 – 11:03 am
Here is another idea for blog posts:
How is new media changing the concept of photography?
There is much going on in this field: cameras, printers, online photo galleries (such as Flickr), digital picture frames, software, and more. How is photography changed from the past and what might it hold for the future?
Post-modern Writing: The Cell Phone Novel
February 17, 2008 – 10:49 am
Idea for ongoing blog posts:
Thumbs Race as Japan’s Best Sellers Go Cellular
How does this phenomena relate to the 5 principles of new media and to the concepts of readerly vs. writerly?
Static vs Dynamic
February 13, 2008 – 10:26 am
David has a post on USA Today and meets the world of dynamic content:
I logged on to USA today the virutal newspaper early this morning, while waiting for it to get light so I could go shovel snow. I recall the headlines were about the Grammies, which interest me not at all. Eventually, I shovelled [...]
