A cynical take on lifestreaming to relieve my frustration.

What my lifestream means to me

I think I understand what the lifestream is. It is an application which enables you to catch information from the internet (the purple arrows). You do this with the use of RSS feeds and the like. This all goes into your lifestream and makes up part of it. However, [...]

Week 4 Summary

 

 

I have found the theme of transliteracies really interesting, even if I am not completely sure what the term means, yet.

Week 2 Summary

 

I’m not really sure what to say about Week 2. The films festival was good. I liked the clips on under the topic of  ’Being Human’. The Blade Runner clip, Tears in the Rain, such an iconic scene, for my generation at least, was a good choice. Roy, the android, talking about how all his [...]

Week 1 Summary

 

This is very odd. I am writing a reflection on a reflection in a public sphere, so how much of a reflection this is going to be is debatable.
