NEW MEDIA: Beginning the Story Before It Begins
The technology of new media not only lends itself to exciting ways of telling a story, allowing the reader to manipulate where a story ends, changing its direction, adding flashing lights and color at whim, it offers the ability to … Continue reading Continue reading

EDUCATION VS. NEW MEDIA: Why versus?
Because, well, shoot; I have about an hour’s work left on my Stats project to do before I can play with Powerpoint to create a storyboard. Update: Well, I’ve finished it, although I’m not sure with my cockeyed view of … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: The New Media Personality
I have just searched my frameshop for a mouse. A computer mouse, that is. My trusty Microsoft Scroll Mouse was acting strange and it was quite frustrating so I killed it. I am a thrower, a smasher, a flinger of … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Unreality
A pink morning sky as fake as a Kinkade, or color filters on a Canon. Nature takes creative license with the day. Impossibly black branches cutting through the salmon canvas; a painting I would shake my head at and pass … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Tools
The excitement is there, like reading the first page of a promising book set aside too long. But what if one couldn’t read? Or the text was in hieroglyphics? Or the pages were all stuck together? Or scrambled in numerical … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Discussions
It seems the two are becoming one. New Media is haunting my days and nights, away from classroom influence it seeps into my brain and out again. Barely had the store unlocked; a neighbor from the past is there. A … Continue reading Continue reading

EDGAR and I & NEW MEDIA: Alone in the Maze
Half dulled interest, cotton-headed thoughts; he has watched and wondered where I am going. Technology unknown, but the ideas were always there, moving backward into crypts, forward into space, wanting, but not having the tools. Can you imagine what Mr. … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Frost
The morning dew that nourished in the summer nights what summer sun would burn away, returns in crystalline perfection, blushing green to red and cowardly yellow in the face of cold. Killing what it has spent the months in nurturing. … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Daydreaming
This morning on my driving rounds I daydreamed, part of my mind taking off in another direction while focusing automatically on the road. Down River Road, Route 4 up to Burlington, behind a truck with winch and ball and hook … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Space Forks
It is hard, and took this long, to put the pieces of yesterday back together. The main story was textbook routine; up at five, showered, dressed, studied, and out of the house by seven-thirty, on campus through two classes until … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Interactive Bummers
Man, I was so excited. I jumped up and down. Almost kissed the postman. (I may be older than him, but he’s no prize, either.) “The Sims 2” came in the mail today. I was gonna run and play with … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: The American Illusion
Panning in, in black and white, touching tree tops as we seek out the story. At long last, there it is: a man on a bridge, about to be hung. But remediation allows for afterthought, and this is where I … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: How Do I Love Thee?
So many different ways. Yesterday’s class focused on one story, Ambrose Bierce’s “Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” Text versus movie. Ensuing discussion of sequence and presentation in comparison and contrast. How key plot points were manipulated–how they can be and … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Growth in Learning Process
That’s not to say the process of growth in learning–although it means that as well–but more the growing in learning the process. I’m learning, for example, why writers and actors, normally on the more creative end of things, often gravitate … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA, REALITY &WRITING: Weekend Workload
Got a bunch of stuff to do this weekend, and cannot afford the luxury of taking meandering paths. Might need to hover above the maze in a helicopter and touch down here and there. Besides rushing to get a few … Continue reading Continue reading
