After what had to have been one of the longest and most frustrating days of my life, I have gotten what little sleep time has allowed me and am now able to post. The Griselda story was, in my opinion, a strange choice for a final tale in the Decameron. Reading it, there are no [...]

On Monday, we were all discussing Ashley’s idea of creating a Facebook page for the class. Many ideas were thrown out (see? there’s that phrase again) and I thought I’d recap a couple. These are more thematic than technical, but I think this Facebook thing has huge potential.
Page rather than group, because we want flexibility [...]
I think I can finally connect a few thoughts I was having last Thursday.
Web 2.0 is all about connections between people and interaction in the online environment. It involves creation of new content in addition to simple acquisition of available information. But what about the cabinet in the short story we read? It automatically knows [...]
Do you have any idea how boring painting doors and door jams can be? Let me tell you, very boring. I just spent the last few hours of my life painting doors. The bad news is I will never get those three hours back. The good news is I have taken [...]
I would like to start this post off by thanking Dr. C For putting me in a depressed mood for the rest of the day. Just kidding. But no, that ending made me so sad and made me think about a lot of things. And the way class ended was just… I don’t [...]
Let’s just say I had a total Matrix moment during our FTC day talking about reality and portraying what was real and what reality really is. Maybe we are all just imagining this world and we are really being controlled by robots? Oh wait, that also feeds in to Fast, Cheap and Out of [...]

Published July 18th, 2007 in elsblogs. 0 CommentsLet me put this in perspective for you all. I am so fascinated and intrigued by Errol Morris, that I have struck an accord with my Dad: hassle-free (and highly skillful, I might add) lawn care for the rest of the summer without charge – [...]
While we were talking about the rationality of Mole-rat behavior in class today, I couldn’t help but think back to an article I read a few months ago concerning a new mine-clearing robot being developed for the DoD. Interestingly enough, it appears to bear a striking resemblance to the robots being developed by Rodney [...]
Okay…let’s try this again. I think I’ve spent most of my awake hours today in a fog of intellectual confusion, which is great. The movie didn’t help either–talk about beauty, depth, meaning–Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control is art. At least as I view it. What does it mean when a documentary meets my definition [...]
I knew I wouldn’t be able to quit the blogging for long. I had a few hours before class, so why not? ICHC simply must be talked about.
What is?
I Can Has Cheezburger? (ICHC) is a WordPress archive of cleverly captioned photographs of cats and other animals. As of today, the archive holds about 860 captioned [...]
