the heart is cruel, the mind plays tricks. you say you wont feel ur heart after its been broken. you say u dont care anymore so you use ur body to heal ur heart, then out of no where the heart starts telling you what ur mind doesnt want to hear. y do we feel, y do we have to care, emotions are the hard part in my life i struggle to control. even when i know it could never happen or its wrong i...

Reflective post.
My blogs main content is for networked media, lecture notes, assignments and just general ideas. I used it more to post ideas I had and what I had learnt overall in the semester. I found something’s I blogged about didn’t...
Rationale - Project B
I decided to do Geo-narrative as my project B. My first decision was data visualisation, I came across a number of problems and I found my data was not enough. I was also worried that the data I had would not be interesting enough and therefore not show data visualisation. So the Geo-narrative seemed to be the best option for me. I chose to use a story instead of a essay-like argument or...

project b
So I went from data visualisation to Google maps - geo-narrative! What I week! I wasn’t sure that my data was going to be any good so i looked at my other options. I went for the Google maps geo-narrative. I thought I had a story and a good story so why not use it. So I started to work out where I wanted to start my story. Its starts in a train station and takes off around Sydney! I wanted to set...

Data...
So starting my assignment, I decide to do data visualisation because it appealed to me out of all the other choices. I thought it would be fun to explore my habits and my daily patterns. So when it came down to putting data in a spread sheet everyday the one thing that stood out the most was how many text messages I wrote. Wow almost over 20 a day! Ididnt even think i had that many people to send...
data everywhere
Data visualisation: representation of obstract. Non-physical information. As humans we break down things like numbers/information so we can define how big something really is or so we can compare how big something is to something else. We do this in such ways we can idenify. We use data visualisation to correspond information visibly but effectively in such means as: Size, Shape, Colour, Scale,...
Multiplicity
To me multiplicity can be defined as creating a resource from a number of resources to create an outcome. I still don’t fully understand it’s meaning but trying to explain what I can will help.
In our lecture Michael talked about in 1906 at a country fair in England scientist Francis Galton tested the crowd with a competition. After an ox had been butchered how much would is weigh? Galton got the...

cyber bullying
In class we talked about web 2.0. Such a large growing user interaction community. But are some people at threat here? Well yes, they call it cyber bullying.
Is any one really worried about this? If i was a parent of a teenager i would be. Such things as bullying can come from the Internet. I was watching four corners and a young boy took his life because he was harassed, bullied and threatened...

twitter
Over the holidays the only thing i could not stop watching was Ellen. Every day at 12pm i could sit down and watch. Every show she would mention Twitter. How she used it so much everyone else was using it. I could not get over how fast twitter was being like Facebook. It has grown so fast in the last few months. So of course i had to join, not yet knowing how if i will use it much but its...
Rationale - Project A
I choose Toyota Supra’s to do my exhibition on because I have a passion for cars. Most people would say this is more a male thing but for me as a female, I find that I really enjoy cars. I have no reason for why I like Supra’s so much I just do. I think it compares to a Skyline. A lot of people like Skylines and they are very popular, they are also still in production now. But with Supras not many...

Week 6
So the last few weeks has been very busy. So many assignments due all at once.
I’m still working on my project A assignment. Snytha site has now changed to yola.com. Nothing is different just that it is now called yola. I suppose this is easier when I go to search in search bar, it is easier to type yola than snythasite.
Im really liking flickr. It is helping me so much with getting legal...

24th March
So today I have been working on my project A assignment. It has been hard, I think what i am finding hard is something that i can present. Im worried that my assignment topic wont be as interesting as everyone elses, although i love what i am creating and working on for this project, i dont think other people will be.
I have decided to do it as a website as i know how they work because i have...
Week4
Week 4 of Networked media production.
This week in our lecture we learnt about API.
API to me means; API = application program interface. Api is about sharing data and sharing functionally. Api lets you build off the back of an exciting services to create a new service. Meaning api lets people take somethings they like from various websites to create their own, generating more websites from the...
As part of Networked Media Production is to create a blog, i decided i would spend some good internet time surfing some cool blogs, ones that i was interested in. I’m a big fan of aussie bands and continue to listen to tripe j for any new bands that may appear to be great to follow. I came across this one blog in my surfing who the bloody hell are they.
I just thought it would be something...
10th March 2009
Well, I thought that if I needed to start a blog that I would try my hardest to add content to it. Im not good at writing, im even taking a writing class at uni to help.
So I am not just going to use this blog for Networked media production but also for my other classes. I think this will help me keep up with my uni work.
I love music, poems and photos (corny but true), so i thought i would put...
