Well, here is the second of five IDM posts for my Interactive Media I class. I liked this website a lot less than the first one: smallTransport, but I didn’t really like that one much either…

I like Writely
Posted by Jewls Wed, 20 Sep 2006 02:44:37 GMT
Whoa, this Writely thing is pretty sweet! As long as you have an Internet connection, there is no need to buy Word ever again!!
Here is a good article that got dugg a couple weeks back: Google’s Writely
If your regularly working with text documents this could be a handy tool to access your work from multiple locations and allow others to edit your documents as well. There are so many neat little features to this site – you can do almost anything!
- Email your documents right to Writely.
- Make a web page of a document.
- Post to your blog.
- Roll-back to previous revision and comparison of two versions.
So here it is! My blog entry composed in Writely. :)
Good stuff.
Music Makes Me Happy!!
Posted by Jewls Sun, 17 Sep 2006 21:52:10 GMT
Here’s an interesting interview (found on digg) with a record producer-turned-neuroscientist, who is currently researching how the brain and mind handle and interpret music. Read the article here.
This guy is awesome. I am inspired just by his history alone. A guy going from a kick-ass job as a record producer for the Grateful Dead to a freaking neuroscientist. I can’t even fathom that transition.
Anyway, I thought the interview was very exciting. I never really tried to think about how we perceive music and why we all perceive it differently. I just knew it happened. Now, we’re beginning to understand all these little functions of the human mind and the more we learn the more we can begin to advance and the more we’ll be able to achieve (both, good and bad).
Peace, Jewls
How to Ruin Lives Through Craigslist
Posted by Jewls Fri, 15 Sep 2006 14:55:47 GMT
About a week ago, I posted an entry about a website for my Interactive Media I class. Well, this entry is not for that class, but it is for another class of mine – Social, Cultural and Psychological Implications of Computer-Mediated Communication (more easily referred to as TC491). Recently, we’ve been discussing online identity and deception – how we shape our online profiles, how others perceive us through these profiles, and how deception plays a part in all of it. So, here is a blog post I’ve written for that class about a guy who’s recently stirred up some ethical debate on the topic of digital deception and privacy on the net…

Maybe one of the cutest things ever.
Facebook Gets "Generation Y" Off Its Ass (...Figuratively)
Posted by Jewls Fri, 08 Sep 2006 14:23:08 GMT
Thankfully, after three days of steady complaint, Facebook has done something about the “News Feed” to calm our vexations. Early this morning, Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, posted to the Facebook blog (which was also simultaneously glued to the top of everyone’s “News Feed” – BUT with a nice little option to ‘Hide’) an open letter of apology. “We really messed this one up,” he says right off the bat… |
Apology accepted. While I’d still like to see more extensive privacy control (click HERE to see current privacy options), I’d like to thank the Facebook team for working so diligently and quickly to fix the problem. For a while there, especially after the last Facebook blog entry Calm down. Breathe. We hear you, (which pretty much accomplished nothing), I was worried that we’d be waiting weeks before changes were made. But you surprised me, Facebook. You realized there was a big problem, worked your asses off to create a functional solution, and implemented it before your subscribers had the opportunity to become bored with their efforts to insist change (in which case[boredom], you probably would have lost thousands of users).
“Gen Y’s first official revolution,” as Time.com suggested, may have been a small one, and perhaps somewhat insignificant (when you toss all the other serious problems that face the world into the mix), but maybe it’s put us on the right track. At least now the world knows that Generation Y can make a difference, maybe this is only the beginning. Maybe now that we’ve got our activism juices flowing, we’ll find the inspiration to work at other issues we feel strongly about but have never had the courage to act on.
So thanks for working with us, Facebook. Now that that’s all done and over with, I say, “Yeah, okay. I can work with this feed thing.” But how about you do me one more favor and make mine work? Since it’s debut, my News Feed has not updated with any new content, it’s just gradually all disappeared. And today it looks like this: |
So once again….wtf, Facebook?
smallTransport IDM
Posted by Jewls Thu, 07 Sep 2006 23:12:27 GMT
WTF is an IDM? It’s an “Inspiration Design Model” and I get to critique five of them over the next 13 weeks for my Interactive Media I class. The professor assigns a website for us to look at and analyze, we each comment with a blog post and reply to at least one of our peers’.
This week’s IDM is smallTransport
F U, Facebook
