When In Doubt – Procrastinate

I have been trying to wrap my brain around some material that I am supposed to submit to my advisor by Friday for a Monday morning meeting. I have everything in bits and pieces, but have no real idea as to how to get the ball rolling (a continuation of my earlier post about floodContinue reading “When In Doubt – Procrastinate”

Reading ‘n Writing

I bought two new books this week – both of which should have already been on my bookshelf. Mind you, the list in my “to buy later” section of amazon is a little old and a little long. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to reading (in full) Andrew Darley’s Visual Digital Culture: Surface Play andContinue reading “Reading ‘n Writing”

Virtual Reality International Conference

There is a full day symposium titled “THE PHILOSOPHY OF IDENTITY IN THE VIRTUAL” (April 23). It is part of the 3 day conference on Virtual Reality. Although there is a design / technical slant, I am absolutely excited about the potential of the symposium. Directly from the symposium’s website, here is the preamble: Topic: Difference, RelationContinue reading “Virtual Reality International Conference”

Another Semester

Cannot believe that it is September already. It’s ok – as it has always been my favorite month. Always the start of new classes, new faces, new projects… or perhaps the fact that my birthday, my mother’s and my youngest daughter’s birthday are this month (actually, they share theirs, and mine’s the day before!). IContinue reading “Another Semester”

Going Pro

Alternative career path?

Two Second Update

First of all, I am happy to say that the last two songs on GH1 that were unfinished (at expert) have been completed thanks to my oldest daughter’s lightning fast fingers. I have 16 days left of summer holiday – and while it hasn’t been my most productive summer compared to the last few years,Continue reading “Two Second Update”

RB & GH Ramblings

Over at West Karana, I read about this guitar transformation for Rock Band 2. As Tipa writes, the idea of making a ‘fake’ guitar out of a real one for a guitar simulation (of sorts) is kind of interesting. I wonder how my father would feel if we modded his prized drumkit… I bought GuitarContinue reading “RB & GH Ramblings”
