Dear Oresia, I honestly do not know where to start. Well, I guess I do; thanks you for your letter and kind words. I, too, feel like the alchies of arganee and the goaafies can learn to coexist. I am certain we will all continue to collaborate together and make beautiful art that can surely…
I chose to do the 98th DDA: Google Translate Roulette with a Christian song that I always listen to called “Cornerstone” by Hillsong. I absolutely love this song and it’s melodies, and the words are near and dear to my heart. In addition, most of my coworkers, colleagues, and friends know that I incorporate my…
To be quite honest, this photo is very unflattering to me, and it might have you wondering how a doorway can explain what Kean is really like. Well, let me tell you. For about a year and a half I went to the University of New Haven in West Haven, CT. I was a music…
This might be my shortest blog post thus far; I am actually not sure, so let us find out. I am going to play around with two ideas from this past week. One of my ideas has to do with this storied campus business... this ingenious idea that has been presented to my class. If…

Okay, so we're back. Not only was I completely checked out during Spring Break, but these couple of weeks back weren't necessarily that great. There is a lot going on, and I am constantly under a lot of stress. I get the sense that I am not the only one less than thrilled to be…
MEMES & GIFS You thought I was going to start with the Network Effect site didn't you? Hehe, sorry no, but if you haven't checked it out please do. Click here. Within the past week, the class was asked to create some of our own media content. It was a fun experience, especially seeing what…
SOUND *Adele's voice* Hello, it's me! Let's roll right on in and waste no time. Sound... it's everywhere right? Sometimes I long for an unearthly quietness like Jad Abumrad mentions in his talk about radio and empathy, but that's not really reality. Let me take a moment to backtrack, and touch on the video clip…
Okay, so the gif above might not exactly have anything to do with the shaping that I am going to be talking about in a second, but come on... GREASE! Talk about a story eh? Anywho, hello inhabitants of Earth! This week I have been asked to think about the shapes of stories because there's…
STORYTIME The first and most prevalent aspect of this week's blog post is the five card flickr story assignment. My most visceral reaction to this assignment was that of frustration. I had major writer's block, and I could not drum up anything in my mind. I probably stared at the five photos that I chose for…
