Ok, let me make this clear. I am an Interaction Designer. (Well, at least that’s what we’re called for the time being.) I sometimes design interactions to be enacted on a medium called the Internet. You will not get the full effect of these interactions if you use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer to view my interaction…

PITA = “Pain in the ass” Great stuff…

Just saw my first musical in Indiana…”Jesus Christ Super Star” was pretty good, I thought. Went with E and T…I think they enjoyed it as well. I’m not so knowledgable when it comes to the Christian religion, Jesus, etc., so I was definitely lost at some points. It’s all good though. Now I have the…

I’m conducting a simple experiment with myself this week. As I drove to school last Wednesday around 10:30AM, I kept thinking about how early in the day it felt to me. I then immediately thought myself a fool. 10:30 in the morning should not feel early! So I’ve taken it upon myself to go to…

Amazon.com just broke…I swear I would have bought the book if it would have worked. We need faster internet service from home. Time to start working on DSL… Here’s a fun website I ran into this evening: Sorry Everybody. Oh, and here’s the response by all those forgiving foreigners. The world, in fact, is all…

I’m not even sure what emotions I’m feeling, but I’m definitely emoting something…Great movie, if you haven’t seen, do. In other media news, I’m sporting some…

I think I need to be a little more tolerant when it comes to the things I’m studying…I find myself very judgemental about the ideas that are presented to me. It’s not because I don’t like them, but because I’ve learned about them in other contexts, and now it just doesn’t feel the same. I…

Here’s some quick news for everybody. Mozilla Firefox v1.0 was released this morning. What does this mean? It means that you no longer have to depend on Internet Explorer to browse the ‘net. You may not realize it, but Internet Explorer has many security flaws that are going untouched by the likes of Microsoft. Firefox…

This morning I taught my first class as a graduate student. It was pretty cool. In case you aren’t in the know, my job while I’m here at school is to be an Associate Instructor (which is basically code for “Teacher’s Assistant”), and this semester my class is the Undergrad intro to HCI design course.…
