Talk about blurred lines on what and who is a celeb now-a-days. Totally gonna use some of this for my Fandom paper. If applicable of course. :)

Looky who I found...Ms. Ito herself! I'm totally using this for my paper!

Here's Scalzi's other blog post about the "Straight White Male" it is also mentioned in the article I mentioned in my earlier post. They are both very compelling.

I was searching for this blog post because it is mentioned in our reading, Nakamura, "Queer female of color: The highest difficulty setting there is? Gaming rhetoric as gender capital." I found it on my FB feed a while back, and remembered it and had to share. My friend posted it, and there were such comments like "it's so sad and true," and "I cried," etc. It did get a lot of hits and went viral, I'd say at least on FB. :)

I keep forgetting to add these articles I've been hoarding! is there such a thing as a cyberhoarder? That would be kind of cool if they made a reality show out of THAT! LOL I don't think I've shared this one yet, so happy reading!

Good Q&A Site, Thank you EMAC 6342 and Prof. Shen!

I wish I could take the credit for finding this site, but Remi had a link from her blog to this site, and I found it really interesting!

Just found this site Vizify.com it is a web builder site, but it also tracks your activity on the social media sites you want it to. Just thought it was fun to see and maybe helpful too. I thought about @purplekimchi and her tracking charts of our tweets when I saw this.

Wow even SnapChat has technical difficulties. :)

" Nothing can injure a man's writing if he's a first-rate writer. If a man is not a first-rate writer, there's not anything can help it much. The problem does not apply if he is not first rate because he has already sold his soul for a swimming pool. INTERVIEWER Does a writer compromise in writing for the movies? FAULKNER Always, because a moving picture is by its nature a collaboration, and any collaboration is compromise because that is what the word means-to give and to take. INTERVIEWER Which actors do you like to work with most? FAULKNER Humphrey Bogart is the one I've worked with best. He and I worked together in To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep. INTERVIEWER Would you like to make another movie? FAULKNER Yes, I would like to make one of George Orwell's 1984. I have an idea for an ending which would prove the thesis I'm always hammering at: that man is indestructible because of his simple will to freedom. INTERVIEWER How do you get the best results in working for the movies? FAULKNER The moving-picture work of my own which seemed best to me was done by the actors and the writer throwing the script away and inventing the scene in actual rehearsal just before the camera turned on. If I didn't take, or feel I was capable of taking, motion-picture work seriously, out of simple honesty to motion pictures and myself too, I would not have tried. But I know now that I will never be a good motion-picture writer; so that work will never have the urgency for me which my own medium has. INTERVIEWER Would you comment on that legendary Hollywood experience you were involved in? FAULKNER I had just completed a contract at MGM and was about to return home. The director I had worked with said, "If you would like another job here, just let me know and I will speak to the studio about a new contract." I thanked him and came home. About six months later I wired my director friend that I would like another job. Shortly after that I received a letter

Sorry this interview is rather long, but I posted it because Faulkner talks about his books/stories being made into movies and how he feels about it. This is another example that makes me think it would be good for both classes, EMAC6300 and DigitalText.

I kind of feel like this goes for both the EMAC6300 class and our Digital Text class. It makes me think of McLuhan's the Media is the Message using machine to make text and how we can use text (like poetry or a story) in a new way. Interesting!

Ok, just another definition on another segment, Constructivism, we are to focus on this week for our class reading. Seeing the definitions really helps me understand so much more. Hope it helps others as well.

Welll, I was looking at the 2nd definition, but Yah, after I posted this and did some more of the reading, I realized it wasn't quite the right definition either. Sorry! :) I like your link much better! Although, it doesn't seem so clear cut to me. If I understand it correctly a person/s can construct something that is controlled and by society or culture but not necessarily by nature? Like making a robot puppy instead of having a real one? THe robot is more controlled. right? So is there a difference between Constructivism and Constructionism? Or are those just two words meaning the same thing? Sorry for the questions, just kind of typing and saying outloud to make sure I got it. :)

I thought this dictionary definition might help us with understanding what Determinism is. I thought the key would be the form of determine, but I was wrong. When I am determined to fix my broken sink, is not the same as determinism which is a theory or doctrine.

I'm half way done with the Web Fundamentals. Oh yah, I'm on fire,whipping threw these lessons...just hope I can retain it for when I actually have to use it. :)

For you novice bloggers! You've been thinking about starting a new blog, but you're just not sure of one thing: what to name it. WordPressers around the world wrestle with this very important question and over at The Daily Post, we've been sharing the secrets behind how bloggers choose to name their online home. #emac6300

I remember this video in Cassini's class as well. It is pretty fascinating. Something that he pointed out that needs to be mentioned is not just the product but the way in which they market it, the colors used, the scenes, the fact it is seen in the "Day in the life of a user" makes it more appealing to a consumer. This advertisement was very well thought out. Carlos, ha ha...I thought the same thing! :)

This is an interesting app. You can check what you said on social media in the past with this application.

I've watched this video before. When reading Morus', "'The Nervous System of Britain': Space, Time and the Electric Telegraph in the Victorian Age" the section about the re-marketing of the telegraph made me think of this video. The retooling of a commercial at the end of the video around the 12:00 mark is very good, if you can't watch the whole video. It's long but very good. #emac6300

I find this interesting, here is a link for the list of the best Internet in the world. Iceland is my choice. I discovered that beautiful country while watching "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." When I went looking for info on the country, this link is something that I found. Studying Emerging Media and Communications makes this article rather fascinating to me. Take a look. #emac6300 https://diigo.com/01hm1l

I too am glad for you and others I know that Kenya and South Africa made the list! :) I've been glossing over the same book you mentioned and I'm excited to learn more. #emac6300
