I don’t immediately remember the details or have ...

    Oh Google, you so crazy!

    by
    So I decided to do my non-vice blog post on privacy and surveillance. There were a lot of articles on the relevant Scoop.It page related to Google’s new privacy policy so I sifted through those. I use a lot of Google Services, so I figured the information would be relevant. I had seen the notification e-mails in ...

    by
    I chose to do VICE for the F.A.L.O. section of our class. I was expecting to try and find something about emotional infidelity, sex-ting, and online relationships, but instead I found myself pulled into an article about Cyber Bullying. I’ll admit that I was mostly pulled in because the author makes sort of a misnomer in equating trolls to ...

    Group 1?s Infographic Project

    by
    I’m pretty sure Group 1 was assembled entirely out of people that happened to miss class that day. It wasn’t really a winning group composition, but we *coughcough* made it work… I think. Below is our PREZI presentation. As of writing this blog post it is still unfinished (waiting on Eugene’s analysis), but hopefully that ...

    There’s a whole bunch of stuff that’s gone by in my week, but I think I’ll share something thoughtful. Last night I got divorced.

    The Misc. Cabinet

    by
    Today’s Daily Create assignment was to share an image of a place that you lose things in your house. Considering that my apartment is roughly 127sqft, not including the balcony with my washing machine, there aren’t many places to lose things. My kitchen, office, bedroom, and living space make one room and the other “room” ...

    I’m rushing out the door to teach some English lessons but after seeing today’s TDC assignment I had to do it, the assignment was: Make a photo of something upside down that is never seen that way.

    This weekend’s assigned reading was “What is Web 2.0: Design Patterns and Business Models fr the Next Generation of Software” by Tim O’Reilly. There’s really a lot packed into the article so trying to narrow down an aspect of it to talk about was really tough. The concept of moving away from software as a ...

    The Assignment The assignment was to Revamp Your WordPress Banner. This is as simple as it sounds: If your WordPress blog has a banner, replace it with one that you’ve made yourself instead of using a preset image from a theme.

    The Intro I keep thinking that once I go back to the states that I’d like to start a blog. The beauty of a blog is that it’s far more casual and free form. There’s always the option of contributing to other blogs for payment, but I think I’d enjoy owning one myself as a ...

    I’ll start off by saying there is no point to this blog post. I felt compelled to post, but I didn’t really have anything much to talk about aside from my day last evening. I hope to post pictures once my friend sends them to me. I didn’t have a camera on hand,  but luckily ...
