Floor Plan and Warning Label
This floor plan doesn't come close to showing the state of wreckage that my room is currently in. It's pretty destroyed. Also, it's covered in rubber dust. Oh well.

Text Drawing
I used one of my favorite photos of me, Drew, and Olivia. Unfortunately, I didn't leave myself enough time to get Drew and Livers in there as well. I feel like I should have allowed the text to stay more recognizable. Otherwise, I'm happy with my results.

Digital Designers Rediscover Their Hands
I love the idea of digital designers re-learning to use their hands to create. In many of my experiences with using adobe programs, I have become frustrated with the way the programs work, and have angrily thought that the designers must not know what I want out of them. I personally love using my hands to work, and being able to hold the physical product of my efforts and carry it around on something other than a flash drive and showing it off. I do, however, understand the importance of digital design in today's world, and hope that the designers get the best out of their experiences working with their hands. I have several friends that are designers, architects, animators, etc., and they all have to design heavily with a computer. However, I also know that some are more adept with their hands than others, and I wonder how that effects their work.
Alison Chang's lawyer, Ryan Zehl, is interviewed on CNN
Welcome to the future, I guess. I do think that Virgin Mobile was in the wrong and that they took advantage of this girl. They're a huge corporation, and you would think that they would be able to shell out a few bucks to take a few photos on their own instead of taking somebody else's image. Then again, they do appear to be in the legal right. I'm probably not gonna learn much from this, though; my photos are all over the internet, some of which are terribly embarrassing. Oops.
Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos Photosynth
I LOVE TED TALKS! This demo was pretty mindblowing. The fact that they were able to create a composite environmental image of Notre Dame de Paris simply out of flickr images with such gorgeous results is incredible. Why can't technology be used for such fun things more often?
Larry Lessig on laws that choke creativity
This is sort of the other side of the issue with Virgin Mobile. I've been following fair use issues on youtube for about a year now, and I do believe that creative and informative content should be allowed to be used others to create their own creative content. I think that allowing young people to make videos such as the Bush/Blair love song the Jesus: The Musical, presents an engaging opportunity for us to learn the technology and programs that have become available to us over the past few years.
