REALITY: Society at a Crossroads
Let me take a break from New Media video games for a moment to have a turn at something that’s pushed MY buttons instead. Just read an article about a student who is possibly facing disciplinary action due to an … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Making Time
If I could, I would. Create time rather than maneuver within it or manipulate it as much as I can within its given space. I have been up since 3 a.m., and am bouncing between whittling down my laptop purchase … Continue reading Continue reading

TECHNOLOGY: Computer Shopping
I have now spent more time and cost in printing out laptop specs than for anything I’ve ever purchased before. I have mainly stuck with four brands, two processors, a minimum ram memory, O/S, screen width, graphics card, DVD/CD RW … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: In Words on Woods
There was a deep suspicion of what the notices would say; a big red flyer tacked to the tree across the street. But I put off finding reason to go read it, knowing that at least with no photo showing … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Forking Paths
How different then, are memories from our fantasies, or can they all be considered of the same caliber but different levels in the past. Once over, they each are just as real because they do not exist in present time … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Cubicle Man III
Somehow he knew it’d be his last great golden moment. With an engineer’s precision he measured out the lemon pepper into his ginger ale. It didn’t fizzle up as he’d expected, but the flecks of black spice floated on the … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & WRITING: Transitioning
I think I need to get back in touch with the darker side of me… You know, the one that laughs at pratfalls and people walking into poles. Okay, a little deeper then, the one who plays with minds as … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Good Stuff
Lotsa stuff to talk about; like finishing Scott McCloud’s "Understanding Comics," which honest, like everything else in this course it seems to cover all forms of narrative and creativity, as well as life itself; watched "Pulp Fiction" finally all the … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Sidestreets and Strawberry Shortcuts
Odd, following a list to prove I’m organized. More, I think, to get things done. The mind, when left to its own devices, tends to watch the movies that it loves the best and so a map proves at the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: To Do List
The day is led off by a letter to the dean, to seek assistance in remaining on the path I’ve picked for now, to beg for tolerant consideration of a student’s indecisive wandering ways. Then on to folding laundry, paling … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Metaphorical Snow
Snow may be a blanket, one that covers a sleeping earth. But the early snow lays a rug upon an earth still in the midst of autumn. It covers the dust of leaves that lay littering the floor, hangs fresh … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: T&S
You want evidence of time and space? Forty-five minutes away from me there is no snow. Here it is winter; there it is fall. But it is happening simultaneously as well. I know this for fact–even though the man who … Continue reading Continue reading

EDUCATION & REALITY: Moh’s Scale
We’ve heard, of course, both predictions: Mellowed by age, vs. The same, only more so. But what does happen to our personality as we get older, accumulate more experience and knowledge, burn our fingers on the matches of life? Personally, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Light in Time and Space
Morning brings its ambience, slowly creeping in with sunlit smiles on lawns and bushes. Trees whose leaves had held the light in a million green cups all summer must let it sift through branches that hid themselves in dull grey … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Controlling Time
With my most recent brush with the facts of life–time uncommitted is approximately equal to but opposite in result to time committed elsewhere (as evidenced by my reluctant donation of time to the study of statistics), comes other realities: Sometimes … Continue reading Continue reading
