debbie maxwell: March 2007
http://debbiemax.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 28 March 2007. Was one I attended last week (22nd March 07) at the University of Paisley. And centred virtually (no pun intended) exclusively around SecondLife. I thought it covered some fascinating projects and ideas and so decided to write up my notes here on my blog rather than condemning them to my handwritten, archaic paper journal. NB A lot of these relate to Second Life spaces and are predominately for my own benefit. Presenting Knowledge Transfer and Public Engagement in Second Life.

debbie maxwell: December 2009

Wednesday, 30 December 2009. Journal extract - draft. An extract from my PhD thesis. I'm peppering it with diary extracts to illustrate aspects of the storytelling culture I've part of for the last 3 years, and my journey as a fledgling teller. Hopefully this approach will make the thesis a more interesting document to read too! Thursday 30th July 2009. The brightest colour they had to choose from. Yellow. My mind went in panic-mode. This wasn’t supposed to happen yet! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, 9 March 2009. Here's my cloud of Twittersheep. Followers. (Check out the website if you're confused.). Tuesday, 3 March 2009. Seems like everything I hear, read and see now is connected to Twitter. So I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and post my tuppence worth. It was inspired by The Art of the Tweet. If it’s 4am, I know how stressed I am. Stress is how well I know 4am. Final thought, Ernest Hemingway's short story of 6 words:. For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn. Sunday, 1 March 2009. With a vid...

debbie maxwell: Turtle Joke
http://debbiemax.blogspot.com/2010/01/turtle-joke.html
Monday, 11 January 2010. And just had to post it! One day a lion wakes up in a bad mood and summons the other animals in the jungle. I want each of you to tell a joke, but I warn you that if anyone of you fails to laugh, I'll kill the one who told it. Let's see, monkey, you will be first.". Shaking with fear the monkey begins, "Two men are in the street and.". When he finishes, everyone bursts out laughing save the tortoise. "The tortoise didn't laugh!

Thursday, 19 July 2007. How do we interpret the world around us? Does where we come from define who we are and our sense of identity? How is a 'sense of place' incorporated into the internet? Do we still need to relate to others online by where they are geographically located? Does the internet form its own 'sense of place'? As in, "where do you come from/meet? Does mobile technology infringe on our sense of where we come from? Thursday, 5 July 2007. Can a soundwalk ever be simply sound? A large group of...

Friday, 20 November 2009. Disclaimer: This is lifted almost directly from my draft PhD thesis. It is posted here for interest, but recognise that concepts are explained in detail in the full version of thesis. (I thought I would spare the Web the need to post it in all its 5000 word glory.). Synthesising several sets of characteristics results in the following list of new media traits:. The underlying technological structures which enable new media objects to be easily accessed, manipulated and remoulded.

Monday, 3 August 2009. Comparison between Twitter and real life conversation. Reading Schank's 'Tell Me a Story', got me thinking about interactions on Twitter and how conversations start. To me, Twitter resonates with real-world face-to-face conversations by its fleeting, short time-limit tendency. We look for one. How does this translate to Twitter? Well, I'm not sure. But my own experience of Twitter conversations suggests that for the middle cases Schank suggests I simply do not tweet back. I've been...

debbie maxwell: October 2007
http://debbiemax.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 18 October 2007. The other day I saw a student walking past me, listening to an ipod, while reading a book. Impressed as I was by his multi-tasking I felt a bit sad that he couldn't appreciate the environment without cocooning himself in another worlds. It comes back to the soundscape/soundwalk idea - how can we become aware of our surroundings (even if it is only a dingy campus path) if we are visually entranced by a book, and aurally by music?

Tuesday, 7 October 2008. Well, I've been using Buzzword on and off for the past few weeks. I've been switching between Word and Buzzword (and the archaic use of pencil and paper too) in a random and sporadic manner. In actual fact I've been tending to use Word to draft some rough paragraphs and then copy them into Buzzword to compile it. I've just shared two files with my supervisors for comments, so we'll see what happens and how Buzzword, and my supervisors, cope with that. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
