New Media is…..the implementation of creativity in some form of medium, rather it be technology, tangible, and intangible.
Innovative is……hard to define, but in my own understanding I think it is anything that was created from the idea of another idea.


The device i chose was a surprise to myself, but i liked it because its so simply innovative...take a book and electroni-size it.

BUT i also enjoy the fact that initially it seems amazing but after reading a website about this products negative points....eh.......awkward how un-innovative it is.

there is the link, some points include that it's bottom heavy, hard to skim through, battery powered, etc.



* Who did it? (creator or company) AMAZONG
* How did they do it? (software, equipment, materials, etc.) Couldn't find much information on this, i know it was first the Kindle 1, and is now Kindle 2. Contains electronic screen, buttons, the whole spheal.
* For whom did they do it? (target audience or client)Mainly traveleres, business men & women, and readers of course.
* How might you be able to use what you learned about this innovative use of new media to help you when doing your final project?

I have already completed my final project but DEFINITELY made me learn that even if something "seems" to be a brilliant idea, you'll never know until you follow through with actually completing the project and getting some user interaction and moving on from there.

today's class was awesome. i am SO glad Beth came. her strength and positive attitude are seriously inspiring.

I miss Mary Ellen

loved the chicken.

I find it funny, today was my "YES" day. I took the "YES MAN" idea and used it all the day long and the outcome was:

I said yes to punching someone
I said yes to pizza
I said yes to breadsticks
I said yes to a free coca cola
I said yes to more I'm sure, I just cant remember....
I was shortly had an attempt to be taken advantage of later tonight by my best friend...damn her. lol.


enjoy the video/pictures added of our fun filled/sir fluffy butt/chicken/Beth day (this only took about 3 hours to make the video/render/upload to here and it not work/then upload to youtube)

YES. YES. YES. YES.

WHAT THE BLEEP IS THIS?!

My project consists of the play off of the new recent movie "YES MAN".

Jim Carrey is one of my most favorite actors, and he did an awesome job in this movie.
It's closely based on decisions and how they effect our lives. Each decision effects our lives in separate ways, and it's effects are shown well in this movie.

IF the class wants, i got the DVD in my Easter basket (yes my Easter basket) and we can watch it in class if we were to have time, or maybe a few clips.

I have included the trailer to this blog, and for my project:

I have designated a day of "YES" in which I say YES to any ethical/moral requests.

I'll let you know how the decisions effect my day. I'm not telling you what day because I don't want to be harassed by the class lol :)

what is New Media?

Quite frankly, 3:00-5:40 is entirely too long to discuss such a phrase.

I was in class today but had entirely too much to complete homework wise seeing as how I am graduating in two and a half weeks so I left about an hour into class, to complete such things.


I hope and pray Mary Ellen is feelin better and Beth is holdin up ok.

what the bleeeeep

here is my response to class yesterday:


Class was interesting and short; we were instructed to watch "What the bleep do we know"

i hate to say it but i did stay for a few minutes, i did sign in but i have entirely tooo much homework and projects and capstone etc. to sit and watch a movie without doing homework at the same time....


SO i do hope to watch another time but sadly couldnt watch all on Monday


i hope ME is doing bettttttter
