Tools of Today: 10/15

I really liked two of the tools today– Storyteller and Drafts. As a writer, these tools offered help in editing (Drafts) and publishing/copyrights (Storyteller). These two tools together could help me edit a particular text I’m working on in Drafts and then publish it in Storyteller so I’ll be getting audience feedback on a copyrighted […]

Tools of Today: 10/13

Out of all the tools I saw presented today, I think SoundCloud would be the most applicable in my life. I have so many friends that use it and I’ve definitely downloaded files from the site before but I’ve never really gotten into it or understood the range of capabilities the site has to offer. […]

I also started filling out my Writer/Designer Analysis questions although it is taking me a little bit of […]

MEME MONDAY

Because it’s flu season and I could not come to class friday, I have double the memes today. My first meme is the Bad Luck Brian meme, themed around our homecoming game this weekend. Because how many of us stumble to the game realizing we don’t have our student ID’s and cannot actually get in. […]

Cowbird: Interrogating an Interface

When we were given the list of options for this project, I was first drawn to Cowbird because of its unusual name. When I went to the site to check it out, I absolutely fell in love with it. The authors describe it as “a library of human experience” for people to add their photos […]

What I Did and Why: Friday Edition

What I did: Today I changed my theme, edited and resized my header image, edited my site info page, and started collecting photos for my portfolio page. Why I did it: I changed my theme because the widgets were not visible enough for the viewer to find them and the colors were not working well […]

This Week

What I Did: This week, I’ve added more widgets to my blog to allow access to my Instagram as well as provide contact information through email and Facebook.I had to manage the two widget sections as well, some of them were duplicates and some of the two areas lined up in a weird way. I’ve…

Multimodal Dig

In looking through my backpack, I found that while my textbooks had multimodal texts, the most interesting ones were the applications on my phone. I use these apps every day and I never really noticed how many different modes of communication they use. I found that most of the reference apps, like DailyHoroscope and Merriam-Webster…
