HYPERTEXT: Fun with Programs
I’ve been having fun working on resolving a problem that involves some maneuvering and changing of the Keynote presentation on hypertext I put together so that I can make it available here in the easiest way (at least for the reader/viewer!). One method was to place it into Quicktime and toss it on YouTube or try to embed it here, so this is that attempt: Hypertext: The Transfiguration of Writing and The Writer
But there’s always good things to learn along the way: 1) there are quite a few videos on hypertext (not all quite hypertext, but just use the search term and look through them; one in particular is Battle of Hypertext I believe. 2) that you can’t have a 7:30 timed movie clip without sound. It came out so long because without the ability of manual advancement of the slides, I had to leave 15 seconds per slide to allow some reading. In some cases you’ll be bored out of your mind; in others, you’ll have to speed read. Okay, so that doesn’t work well, but it’s a step in the process, and this weblog is a log of all my adventures in new media stuff, the great discoveries along with the dopey.
So here’s the dopey: You gotta have audio. So unless I put my munchkin voiceover which nobody will enjoy, I tried to think fast of a song that lasts that long. What came to mind first? MacArthur Park of course!
Back to the drawing board.
