Ok so like i mentioned at the start i felt i had the potential to do good at this course. I have always used the internet..well for as long as i can remember anyway. BUt this course has taught me alot like Art-Fag, that the internet is something that can be used in your favour.
Before this course i used the internet as more of a playground, than anything else i looked at cool games websites and...
The MySpace Shot
Ok so i decided that this week i needed to take a break from the mountains of homework that had been piling up on my desk.
My girlfreind and i decided that we would take a few days break not only from Homework but from Canberra (the most boring place on earth). We went to sydney to see a Lilly Allen concert.
Ok so anyway we walked through the middle of Sydney to Elizibeth Street, which we were...
Multiplicty in Art
Multiplicity the idea of manyness.
how does our perception change when presented with many?
Artists have experimented with this idea, one in particular Joshua Davis presents electronically generated graphic compositions of almost unimaginable complexity and individuality. His work combines form in soo many different ways that it would be impossible to recreate by hand.
“working this...
Data Everywhere
OK so this weeks lecture was on Data visulisation, which i actually had some idea of what is was prior to the lecture.
So this week we were told how everything on the internet is JUST data, and how that data can be used in any way shape and form, to create new vibrant things.
A data visulisation is an image that can be more easily understood than numbers in a exel spreadsheet. It is something...
Web 2.0
Ok so this had to be one of my favourite lectures, for some reason i really like learning about web 2.0. I learnt alot from the lecture but decided to do some of my own research.
Web 2.0 is about, actually not really sure because it dosent have a definitive definition. So i put web 2.0 down to this. Web 2.0 gives us the user the ability, to host, share, contribute, remix, Geo tag,...
API's and Mashups
Ok so its that time agian. blog time!
This weeks lecture was on API’s and Mashups, agian i never know what these things are until the end of the lecture. But what i can gather from the lecture is; an API is a Application Program Interface. It allows a user to source data from somewhere. For example the URL in a www.*****.com
This data in turn can be used to create something new.

HTML and how to do it
Ok so this week we looked at HTML and the processes involed in making a simple website. This wasent really that new as i have another class that is purely about HTML and building websites.
But anyway i decided to use the resources from the other course to help with NMP. I first went looking for a list of tags that were compilled into one sort of cheat sheet, so that i could refer back to it...
Lecture 2: The Blog
Ok so after last weeks lecture it got me thinking, i could probably be good at this course i mean cmon its about the internet. Im pretty sure that where i spend most of my time, wether it be procrastinating or doing something viable like studying.
Ok so this weeks lecture was on the blog, before this lecture the only thing i thought of when i heard the word blog was Perez Hilton who is apprentyl...

I bought the original Sony Psp and still keep it close to my heart, it has my pictures, movies, music and of course games, however it was begining to feel a little bit outdated.
This new Psp...

Ninja Gaiden

Racing…hrm..not today, flight sim….hrmm nah, RPG…nah...
Lifes Little Pleasures
Our days go by faster than we think, so how about you stop for a second and think of those little pleasures that you experience each and every day..

Response to Art-fags money post
I just read Art-Fags post on why she likes money soo much, the oppurtunity that it provides and the freedom you have to grow.
I completly agree with her, this semester at uni i have spent soo much time studying boring design that it really has affected my personal design time. By the time i get round to do my own designs im soo worn out from coursework that the creative juices just dont flow.
I...
Inside Gameing
Ok well we are all pretty familiar with our gameing consoles, and some of us have had many “raises hand”. Some of us could reconise them purely from just the feel… we wouldent even have to see them.
However as time goes on we buy new consoles and forget the old ones, “out with the old in with the new” as they say. But really the truth is no console is really that...

When you hear the name Stonehenge.. you think mystery, history, cults, astrology maybe aliens…? Well after reading an article on www.wired.com i think Architecture. What’s most widely agreed upon—based on the evidence available—is that the Guidestones are meant to instruct the dazed survivors of some impending apocalypse as they attempt to reconstitute civilization. but it has...

I felt that this particular choice would be best as graphic design is my course and this was the most creative medium. For this online exhibition i chose the subject Gundam’s. A definition of what a Gundam is;...
Going Back in Time
I was searching one of my favourite sites this morning http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ and came across a really funny article.
If you were to go back in time how would you remember everything from the future, how could you invent things before they had been thought of, and how would you take credit for all these things. Well http://www.topatoco.com have invented a cheat sheet to take with you.

The Evolution of a designer
Hey all found this image yesterday and i thought it was sooo funny! and true.
how often is it you think of big sucsessfull company owners who really dont have anything to do with the company they own. You work your way up the ladder to eventually just distance yourself from what you helped create.

Your Little Space
Ok so i finally saved up enough money to purchase an I-Mac, it had been dangling on a string above me for a long time but i finally jumped up there and grabbed it……and boy does it feel good.
Gone are the days of my tempramental home PC foaming with viruses and bugs…not contracted by me ofcourse. The days have arrived of greener pastures filled with little shiny red...

The Mac-Killer i dont think so, dell has just realeased a product to compete entirely with apples macbook air, the dell Adamo.
The Adamo is boasting some of the key features a Mac-Book air does however it falls short in just about every way. Both are forged from one piece of aluminum, have scalloped backlit keyboard, an edge-to-edge glass display, and a choice of colors.
This may sound great...

This post is in relation to http://art-fag.tumblr.com/ post.
I read art fags post and it got me thinking the body image thing dosent only apply to the female specimen but also to the male specimen but in a totally different way. Art fag stated that these girls go to the gym do little exercise, dont eat ect ect…
however there are guys that go to the gym with the mindset that just because...
