I was drawn to the application “750 Words” because of it’s simplicity and usefulness. I’d looked at some of the others and decided against them because, frankly, while they seemed useful to some people they didn’t have much potential for practical use in my own work. This application allows for the daily spew off thoughts […]

Choosing an Interface
by joelyon18 • • Comments Off on Choosing an Interface
For Project 2 I was lucky enough to get my first choice, a website called Popcorn Maker. It is a web tool that lets you add media, like YouTube videos, music files, and 3D images, and edit them in the tool. It allows you to cut, edit, paste, and loop YouTube videos and also has […]

So today was the beginning of Project 2. I decided to go with Prezi as the tool/website that I will focus on. I choose this for a couple different reasons, the biggest being that I was familiar and comfortable with it. I have used Prezi one or two times but I am no where near […]

I got my first choice (hooray!), which is CodePen.io. As I understand it, this site serves as an online coding platform that allows users to write, edit, and preview code easily, hopefully eliminating some of the limitations of coding in a basic text editor. I wanted to interrogate this interface to help cultivate my juvenile interest in […]

“Writing is thinking on paper.” — William Zinsser Or so says the introductory quote from the interface I’ll be interrogating, Onword. The description of this application from the website is “Onword is a simple writing application. Sign in with Twitter, write, save, and pick up where you left off. Write in Markdown and share fully formatted HTML documents.” […]
Cowbird: Interrogating an Interface
by celseac1 • • Comments Off on 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 […]

I chose to work on the Soundcloud interface for the Interrogate the Interface project. I’ve used Soundcloud on occasion before to listen to music or audio files, and I know it is one of the most popular and most used tools for uploading and sharing music. I thought this project presents an opportunity to become […]

First of all, I want to say that I’m perfectly happy with the interface I ended up choosing despite the fact that it wasn’t initially my first choice on the class sign up sheet. The key word that drew me … Continue reading →
