I just completly forgot about this, so it can be used for next week or something.

What's happening? I just wanted to let you all know (pre-class) that I put a very rough draft of a powerpoint essay (just 5 slides) on the discussion board on our VCL blackboard for all of you to view...even though we will probably look at it in class. Just thought I'd give you a heads up!

Sorry people, but with all the guys in my house downloading the Paris Hilton video, stolen music from Kazaa, and all the viruses on my computer, I couldn't get this out to you. And I'm too lazy to go to campus. But this is what I found. Just read the first part. It's basically a tutorial for using iMac. For those of you interested in doing a video project for the final, this might help you with some editing techniques. The K Dogg.

Adbusters presents examples of video fighting a visual (consuming) culture.

I found an interview of Horn at this page.

hmm, the rating system is a good idea. Oh, the possiblities!!!

Jamie, thanks for the link to your card site. Have you considered taking a look a the various e-card services and rating them as part of your blogging activities? I was surprised to find that Blue Mountain is the #1 Google hit for "Greeting Cards"--not Hallmark or any other big name company.

I haven't seen a specific cyber pidgin at UBU--can you give me a link?

Hey, I'm inviting all of you to check out my own little greeting card blog. I'm always scared of what people will think but please give me your input!

Kevin, remember last year when I found that thing about Samuel Pepys' diary? It's nice to actually see the blog up and running. In the UBUWEB I like the Cyberpidgin, did you see that?

I am preparing a talk for the English capstone course and wanted to make some links available. No better place than a blog.

The Rossetti Archive: a massive textual editing project that is digitizing and preserving the works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The sites' remediation style is hypertextual--this is no A&E documentary!

Textual Dance in the Oldest and Newest Poetry: an example of using Flash animation to bring to life, and illustrate a point, about the fluidness (rather than fixity) of translation. This example is at the end of an academic essay; I'd say the author is drawing on elements of both immediacy and hypertextuality to create and frame this translation.

The Diary of Samuel Pepys (from the mid 1600s), is being remediated day by day. Highly hypertextual in its style of remediation.

The University of Buffalo's creative writing program has always emphasized experimentation, and on the UBUWEB you will find a variety of examples of "inventing electracy." Greg Ulmer's website would be a good place to visit, too.

This is a piece I found on greeting cards (big surprise) which focuses on getting started in the business. Maybe some of you writers out there will find something of interest in here. It is a general overview of the process of launching a card career. Enjoy!

Hey, everbody! Here is my assigned reading for all of you. Before you click on the link, here's a little info on where to click once you get there.
Scroll down to "Music Video Articles & Papers", you will want to click on Sven E. Carlson's article: "Audiovisual Poetry or Commercial Salad of Images".

It's pretty easy to read as it is in Adobe, so you can print it off. See you Tuesday.
This is it.

Another blog, called "Carving Code," led me to some useful sites for simple graphics (arrows, pointers, etc).

1. Oregon Dept. of Human Services.

2. Stanford U; lines, original Star Wars characters, other cool stuff.
