HTML5 v. Facebook Over-Application.

Look! OrgaHTMLsm Arcade Fire’s interactive video clip, comprising info from Chrome and Google Maps. Despite the weird pixelated sections where my internet failed me, I remain impressed. Thank you Ellie Cameron-Krepp in all her vast wisdom for finding this/posting it on Facebook. I spent a fair[...]

Epiphany

I have been looking into web design and graphic design night courses to commence next year. I know, right? Turns out I’m quite interested to learn more. Lots more. Ta, Networked. Ps. This is gorgeous. Just wanted to share. ..Wow. What a pointless blog (I may have been waiting for another YouT[...]

Messy Schedule

  So it turns out ‘Skedge’ (the affectionate name I give to my very evil and very overcrowded schedule) has ruined me once again. This week was the week I had two major assignments due, as well as being the scheduled week in which our group was shooting our Broadcast Media documentary [...]

Progressive Essay

Taking the old EMT fable of the ‘Mash Up’ to new levels – none of my paragraphs made sense. Needless to say I started again. Above: Slight Meltdown [...]

The Disillusionment Theory

After triumphantly battling various obstacles such as a trip to the airport, a family member is hospital, and, as usual, Metro/Connex, I managed to make it to one class today – that being Communication Histories and Technologies. Usually our discussions start off really insightful and excellen[...]

Oh Hai, Roland Barthes!

Just having a bit of a read up on the gentleman Seth referred to as “cigarette man.” No-one can resist a French philosopher. I might even read this “Writing Degree Zero” book, it sounds interesting (I’m not even being sarcastic here, I actually want to read it). But the[...]

A Friendly Theory

Feeling very happy with my enthusiasm for blog posts at the start – while I still want to write things in here, they are becoming increasingly a. Irrelevent b. Boring, or c. Forgotten, due to being frazzled/busy all the time. However, despite the usual plethora of delays and pissfarting around[...]

Theoretical Mumbo Jumbo

Finally, after three days, I have time to sit down and actually put words on a page regarding Seth’s lecture and the reading this week, both of which I found quite interesting. When I walked into the room and saw Seth calmly and sequentially creating an orchestra from Youtube videos on a grid-[...]

Look what I did!

Relatively unimpressive to everyone else who is HTML literate but I am very proud pf my gradual progression through the interwebz. Background image + Embedded Image + Table = One ugly website. Also put down a background colour 99CCFF and learnt to change fonts and allignments. I rule. [...]

My < head > Hurts.

I have likened this HTML shit to maths. Despite actually achieving a decent score for my VCE, I managed this without so much as opening a Maths, Science or Foreign Language book (Art, Lit, English, Business Management and Theatre for the win). Back in Year 10, where my likeminded friends and I atten[...]
