Bewarethegeek Goes Digital

I meant to post this one last week but I got a little sidetracked trying to axe a large quantity of words out of the assessment due last week. Anyone who’s reading my blog will surely be aware of how freakin’ verbose I am by now. Anywho, on with the post! I found this chapter [...]

I hate being sick at the beginning of semester, it makes you so behind from the get go! Anyway I’m trying to catch up, and I read The Horizon Report! Development process using a Wiki This is interesting especially in the context of our subject, as we will be using a wiki for our group [...]

First post: I’m transposing this over from the UTS Online board. I found Seeley’s 1999 article particularly interesting from the point of view of someone who’s been very involved in the web, especially watching the developments of web 2.0 over the last ten years.In terms of changes, one that Seeley mentioned which particularly struck me [...]
