CPM vs. CPE

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:23:21 GMT

I attended Podcamp Seattle a couple weeks ago and listened to one or two presentations that mentioned the value of engagement and how it is becoming more relevant to advertising and marketing online. ?Living in a society that is completely saturated by ads and marketing messages everywhere we go, it is no longer enough for [...]

Kids at the Disco

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:10:39 GMT

When we first discovered that we were going to record a personal podcast, I have to admit that I was a bit nervous.? Like most first time podcasters, I detest the sound of my voice.? Once I actually began recording my voice over I realized how self-conscious you can be of what you?re saying and [...]

The Next Step for Podcasting: Mobile Video

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:10:21 GMT

One of the key insights I’ve learned from our COM597 class is that while the podcast audience is growing, it’s a slow growth. Podcasting hasn’t seen the meteoric rise of other new media tools like blogging or social networking sites. Yet even without a mass audience, podcasting can be just as effective for building a [...]

Last Chance to Blog

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:45:27 GMT

This is my last chance to blog for credit this quarter. I got so busy working on podcasts and videos in the last few weeks that blogging had to take second place, and that translated into not blogging at all. Last night I finished the first and second versions of our group podcast [...]

Podasting?meh.

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 22:42:55 GMT

The number of posts I made (or didn’t) this quarter was pathetic. Rather than float some excuses as to why, suffice it to say it was a combination of this being my final class before I graduate?and even more debilitating was my schedule at work. If a cool breeze passes by in the next week [...]

?Aggregation? Is Not A Villan

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 06:10:21 GMT

Citing the classic public-official-gone-bad investigative journalism that many of us worry about losing in these days of belt-tightening at newspapers, the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Connie Schultz takes aim at “aggregators” as the source of online newspaper financial woes. She compares “aggregation” at sites like The Daily Beast and Newser with a 1918 case between the Associated [...]

My Mocking of the Neo-Conservatives about Iran back in 2007

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:26:19 GMT

Special Note: Yes, this is satire. (Originally created in February 2007 for my undergraduate college newspaper, snubbed, but published online anyway on 2-26-07 under one of my now defunct pseudonyms) Background: At the time there was a lot of talk from the political right of the US in favor of bombing Iran. This meme would continue [...]

Bill Hicks (posthumously) on Tiller Murder

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:36:33 GMT

Not many comedians like Bill Hicks anymore. Australian Jim Jeffries comes close, but about 15 years between active periods, Hicks having died in ‘94 and Jeffries having his HBO special this year. The type of comedy is a kind that engages using vulgarity and making things profane. It creates a somewhat jarring [...]

Final Thoughts and Reflection.

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:34:04 GMT

I learned a lot in this class. But, I did not learn what I thought I would. I thought I would learn all about the technical aspects of podcasting and indeed, I ultimately did. However, I learned that on my own through much painful trial and error. What I did learn, and this was unexpected, [...]

Done not talking.

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:09:45 GMT

This blog is coming back. I’m detonating my other blogs. Kabloom. Something is wrong and very very strange occurring. Every family function I go to I find people wrapping themselves in fabricated nightmares, and I am being pressured to join in. I will not. Reminds me very much of this Adam Curtis piece [...]

A Poor Excuse for a Proposal

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:00:17 GMT

The final piece of writing I owe for my ?Podcasting In Business? class is a proposal for my personal podcast project, The Armchair Architect. I am at a bit of a loss for how to write this, however, since I would never seriously propose such a project. The lowest scores on my evaluation sheets from [...]

Dear friends. Half Asleep is a fine collection of tunes that should add some spring to your step. Despite the sleepy title, it’s quite upbeat and should serve as a nice soundtrack for the sunny days ahead of us. Cheers.? Tracklist: 1. Friendly Fires :: Skeleton Boy 2. Passion Pit :: The Reeling 3. Patrick Wolf :: Vulture 4. La [...]

Personal Podcast-The Washington Wine Show ?One bottle at a Time?

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:16:03 GMT

The Washington Wine Show-’One bottle at a Time” fills a particular void in the growing online space for wine and social media. That void is for Washington wine. There are more than 25 wine podcasts out there, but there is no other podcast that specifically covers Washington wine. And, there is no other wine podcast [...]

Digital Folklife

Tue, 27 May 2008 06:44:47 GMT

I don’t have much to say about digital technology this weekend, having spent most of the last three days at the Folklife Festival. Except for a conspicously out-of-place (but very popular) Wii-Fit booth, there wasn’t a whole lot at the festival that reminded me that we live in a digital age. For hours [...]

Audio Quality Can Make or Break Your Podcast

Sat, 24 May 2008 16:13:21 GMT

Several weeks ago the PiB class was discussing the critical elements that make a successful podcast, and someone commented that “Content is everything. Audio quality doesn’t matter if the content is great.” I’m don’t necessarily agree. Poor audio quality can turn a great podcast into a great podcast that no one can bear listening to. [...]

Where does it end from the first cell phone? Final Presentation

Location Based Services

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:35:07 GMT

About 6 years ago I sat in a sales conference at AOL, where one of the guest speakers discussed all of the ?crazy new? advertising opportunities we?d be able to sell in the coming years.? I remember being blown away at the concept of someone?s walking past a store and receiving a relevant ad from [...]

This is the final post of this class. I learned a lot from this class. 1. Research Research is a powerful tool that i learned from this class. Through research, I can find history of the the topics, i can find out what others have done regarding to the topics, i can collect all the information regarding to [...]

Reflection after Presentation

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:25:36 GMT

Last Tuesday i gave my classmates the presenation of Why say yes to high tech. It was a reflection to an article i read. Because my research topic is about Cell Phone, so i chose a topic related to cell phone. The presentation went smoothly thanks to my classmates participations. The research in the article is about Mobile [...]

Mobilizing Kenyans

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 01:52:33 GMT

I loved Paul Mason?s idea to travel throughout Kenya to investigate the use of mobile phones.? Frankly the statistics are staggering ? 50% of the country is considered to be living in poverty, yet 80% of them have a mobile phone.? I?m very curious to know how these people pay for their phones, and if [...]

Mobile Web Best Practices

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:58:38 GMT

In my last class in this program, about Podcasting, we explored the need for regulation of podcasts.? Where the internet advertising industry (IAB) has come up with a clearly defined set of rules to help advertisers produce online ads, there is no similar governing body for the world of podcasting.? It seems similar in this [...]

Journal Summary

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:18:38 GMT

? ?From the journal entries, I have been learning and observing many different aspect of interactive media design from the readings, guest speaker, and class lectures. I really enjoy doing these assignments because they forced me to review what I learned from the class and then organize my thought each week. After writing the journal [...]

Basic Design Principles (Journal Summary)

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:59:57 GMT

The reflective journals forced me to go beyond just reading the assigned books and listening to the guest speakers.? They gave me the opportunity to think critically about the information I absorbed and how it related to my interactions with games, Web sites, brands, and everyday objects.? ? I have learned from Krug and Norman to [...]

Journal Summary

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 23:38:42 GMT

Before enrolling in Theories and Practice of Interactivity, interaction design was not a foreign concept, but it wasn?t something to which I gave a whole lot of thought or analysis. Sure, there were gadgets, software and devices that I found either extremely user-friendly, or extremely frustrating. But I?d never applied the kinds of theory [...]

Journal Entry #5

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 01:59:27 GMT

“The Design of Everyday Things” is not only the title of our reading assignment, it’s also a concept that many people take for granted, or don’t put that much thought into at all. You’d probably be shocked if you knew the amount of time and research that went into designing something as simple as [...]

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:51:24 GMT

?? “The Design of Everyday Things” by Donald Norman points out the frustration of using product in our daily life, and the relationship between users and design. It also takes many examples to describe problems of designs and how to avoid them. Therefore, I really enjoy this reading because it reminds me of many problems [...]

Branding Evolution (minute paper)

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:29:39 GMT

I was not in class for the discussion on branding, but did read the New York Times article and the guest speaker?s PowerPoint slides. ? I read the article first and found some of the notes I jotted down were similar to ideas expressed in the guest speakers slides, which made me think I was on the [...]

Hot on the heels of our discussion last week about the future of journalism comes this article from the Sunday Seattle Times: Regulators: is blogging lobbying? The upshot, online political activists could be required to publicly disclose their finances.? However, non-traditional journalistic bloggers, whose topics range from news reporting to advocacy, and even fundraising, may face the [...]

Well what did you expect?

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 03:40:04 GMT

When asked to briefly sum up my experience in Digital Democracy this quarter and compare it to my expectations, I must admit I’m a little bit challenged.? To begin with, did I have a preconceived notion?? I suppose I did.? Would we discuss and analyze current political discourse?? Would we explore the use of the [...]

Is nothing sacred?

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:05:42 GMT

Nope not even journalism. It is no secret that the time honored tradition of print journalism is going the way of the American Bison circa 1890? nearly extinct. Now in its death throes, we were asked to read a series of articles focusing on the decline of newspapers and what can be done about it. I?d [...]

In-class assignment 10/30/08

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 04:15:34 GMT

I think it’s great that people like A-ron can take their cultural identity (or lack thereof) and turn it into a successful brand. Even though t-shirts with ironic slogans or cryptic phrases might not be my cup of tea, if people are willing to pay for them, more power to the creators. Branding a t-shirt [...]
