What can your librarian do for you? September 2, 2010

I love being the virtual “on-call” librarian for the New Media Studies class (and I’m getting used to the new #nms_f10 hashtag this year…) It’s always a little interesting trying to keep up with what’s going on in the class when I’m over across campus in my office, watching your tweets scroll by… Remember, the [...] […]

What is the place of the academic library? November 19, 2009

I found this link in my Twitter stream this morning, and I thought I would share it with you. I am very curious as to your reactions to this article especially in light of all you’ve been learning about education this semester. This is a faculty member writing about what he feels an academic library should [...] […]

Further reading in New Media Studies: Zotero Group November 17, 2009

Throughout the semester, I have been collecting articles, books, book chapters, websites, etc. Much of it is what has been listed in your readers under “Further Reading” for each of the sections you read, what has come up during class, or other things I’ve found. I’ve been collecting these items with a program called Zotero [...] […]

Comic Books & Graphic Novels in the Library October 6, 2009

I’m not a huge comic book fan, but there is one that I own that is really meaningful to me. It’s called Safe Area Goražde by Joe Sacco. I lived in Bosnia for 3 years, and this graphic novel, while not pleasant to read, does a fantastic job explaining the war in Eastern [...] […]

From Doug Engelbart to Right Now September 15, 2009

One of my favorite blogs about (for the lack of a better word) web stuff is the ReadWriteWeb. Last week they ran a series of posts documenting what the top web trends of 2009 are. I thought it might be an interesting enterprise to list those trends here to see if anyone can [...] […]

A little experiment in New Media Studies research August 28, 2009

As a librarian, I help students with research projects all the time. For this class, to start out, I decided I wanted to do a little experiment related to research on new media studies. The story by Borges and the article by Vannevar Bush inspired me, as they were from two completely different disciplines. So [...] […]

Woah!
I have to admit that I never saw that one coming, but I was thrilled that the story ended that way. The whole time while Bishop was contemplating if he was a puppy or not, I was totally convinced that that was the Kimonians’ plan all along. It made perfect sense…. Until he contradicted [...]

Mindstorms

November 5th, 2009 · Comments Off

I’ve noticed a lot of essays related to computers and education in this book….

This one, however, was very interesting in that it caught my attention in the very first paragraph: “The computer programming the child…. The child programs the computer. And in teaching the computer how to think, children embark on an exploration about how [...]

Teasing Out Ideas

November 3rd, 2009 · Comments Off

I really don’t like this final project thing. It’s too open, there’s too much room for mistakes and failure. I originally thought I would write about the trend in journalism to shift print media to digital media, but I’m noticing that I could honestly care less about the print aspect side journalism. Dr. C said that we should [...]

Well, the problem with clothes is that they’re independent of the avatar wearing them. You get similar problems in MMORPGs were the clothing/armor does not move with the character, but stays completely, or close enough, stiff. [Link]

Haha, I’m sorry Librarian. I’m not a Firefox fan at all… I only use Firefox for that one extension. I prefer to use the browser Opera whenever I can, but Firefox is a good backup browser to use. But, I still think Opera is the best browser available. [Link]

Arpit, there are a few ways you can post a powerpoint presentation online. I recommend either Slideshare http://www.slideshare.net or Google Docs http://docs.google.com (you can upload a ppt to either of them and then get code to embed in a website) Let me know if you have any questions using them!

It IS amazing what Bush was already thinking back in 1945. He predicted most of the advancements in techology we have today (except he added in the unnecessary walnut sized camera on our foreheads.) I also can not even imagine the possibilites of the technology we’re going to have in the future. I am looking forward to it to. [Link]

Your blog post “entry box” should have a built-in spell-checker. I bet that’s what tipped you off in this instance: a squiggly red line under “wierd” because it should be spelled “weird.” One more little way that WordPress makes life slightly easier. [Link]

Great post, and great use of images. McCloud would be proud. And by the way, deliciousing the link to the Google search on “the table is hard” is just brilliant. The wild variations in metaphorical and literal meanings illustrate the point perfectly. Recursive, too, in its own way. Nice work. [Link]
