I walked into Networked Media Production not exactly knowing what it would be about. Some of assumptions was learning how to use photo shop, blogs and YouTube, However, what it turned out to be was much more. I not only learned about blogs but, other forms of media on the Internet and how these sites have effected the development of human society one example is Twitter, where people note down...
Week 15 blog.
This week was the most stressful week of the entire term, disregarding the stress from exams, of which I am quite confident I will do well on the NMP exam. Three assignments were due within a period of 3 days. these included; a japanese assingment, a Intro to Media presentation and a geo narrative for Networked Media Production.
The first one was considerably easy to do as I had the help of a...

Why I chose this
Out of the three choices we were given I chose the Geo Narrative. The other options were interesting aswell, particulary the data visualisation, which i attempted to do but, eventually stopped because the constant recording of my various actions became too difficult. However, some of the various data visualisations from delicious were very inspiring particualary the Peter Funch...

week 14 blog
The focus of this week is to make some headway on my assingments which are due next week. However, I have done other activities, such as working at woolworths in the deli, which is getting quite interesting lately as many of the customers are resorting to shop lifting and most of the time getting caught. This is fairly enterataining watching from afar as the looks on thier faces are priceless,...
week 13
This week was the beginning of the end for semester one and as such was building up for the final stretch of assingments and the lead up to exams. Im finding that i have lost my sense of work ethic and am finding it ahrder and harder to keep up with the workload as the end of the semester gets closer.
So far all that remains to be done is 1 assignment and exam for NMP, 1 assingment for IMP, 1...
week 12
This week in NMP we looked at Data Visualisation and the many different ways that data can be visualised. Some of these include visualisations about the US financial Crisis
This visualisation shows a interesting but, basic explanation of how the financial crisis was started and the general direction it took towards the current crisis.
another one was about the energy usage of humans versus...

Week 11 Blog
This week was a rather dull one. It was the ending of the 1st round of assingments and th ebeggining of the second. Ive decided to attempt the data visualisation task and see how that goes. However, if that fails i can always go back to doing the geo- narrative. On top of that there is the media project where I have to combine all of my photos together to form a movie, which I am not looking...
week 10 blog
This week or i should sya last was week was quite stressful. My internation Studies was a big shock to the system for somthing due back first week after the holidays. The good thing is that i got it done, the bad thing is i don’t think it was a BRILLIANT CHANGE THE WORLD essay, however, i did learn a few things about Cultural Imperialism, although most of those things i learnt playing CIV4...

First half of the first half is done and im halfway through my holidays wondering when i should start the next lot of assingments… For the easter long weekend i went to the Albury tennis tournament and had a good time drinking and playing tennis on the real grass courts, which are great on bare feet. Although I wasn’t playing all that great i still had a good time and got plenty of...

For my project I decided to write a Review/reference/ exhibit site for Stanley Kubrick’s movies. Why? Because Kubrick has had such a large effect on the film culture and on how films are shaped in the future. In order to do this I chose a movie and wrote my interpretation of it as well as adding quotes from other peoples works so that I had a wide variety of opinions that viewers were able...
Week 6 Blog
Second last week before the term ends. Yes I am stressed. However, I have done my International studies speech and am left with two, by far, more interesting assignments. First being a Tryptych, which is rather difficult to find inspiration for and a Reference/Exhibit site on Kubrick. I have just written about the movie Full Metal Jacket and it took me all day, which says to me that I won’t...

Sooo…. I have just finnished watching Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick.. It was a good movie, very “out there”. I did some reading and the content that goes on in the movie actually happens in real life. Or at least according to this guy. After seeing I am even more glad that after much thought and help from the tutors at UNI that I have chosen to write about Stanley Kubricks...
Weekly Post #4
So this week was learning about APIs, which are just amazing seeing as they allow the user to improve the probiders content, very much like map editors in games. Ive looked at a few other blogs and realised that mine needs work so time to start looking at how to improve the layout of my blog. My other classes are becoming quite enjoyable except for International studies which is fairly boring as...

The second post!
This week i found myself getting more and more into uni. Netwokred media production for example is a much more intuitive course than the year 10 counterpart i did all those years ago. Thursday we started learning about HTML, which although being complicated at first was not as bad as i though it would be seeing as i am writing this using the HTML editor, although only using basic tags.
In other...
First Post
First time ever using a blog. Had a look at the other sites and this one seems to have been picked as my first blog. I’m quite amazed at how fast information is spread though this media medium, although, most of it has been recycled four or five times, making it difficult to find the OP. Along with gaining a blog, I signed in to an RSS tracker called Bloglines, which ive already found...
