Digital Culture Update Page
Hello fellow DigiCulturati!!!This is my weekly update page come on in and see the goodies!


THE OLD STUFF

This week's topic was Adobe Photoshop so I have included some fun stuff I've done with photoshop!!!!

demonic friends
I made this truly scary images by putting lens flares in the eyes of my subjects. The result is an almost demonic portrait.
Buck Naked Ryan Bachiochi!

Kenchy and I (You remember Kenchy, don't you?) made this one night when we were bored, REALLY bored!!!!!! It's our good friend Ryan Bachiochi.
Mail him if you like it!!!!
For Thursdays class we had an interesting guest speaker who spoke about design and arcitecture. She also had us do a little activity the results of which I have scanned and posted here:
Mom, look what I made in college today!
Aren't you glad you're paying $26,000 for this!!

This was an attempt to show us basic prinicples in design that we may then use on our webpages.

THE NEW STUFF

David has written to me and asked me to make my website more interactive so therefore I present the following:

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make my page more interactive please e-mail me at d_halley@emerson.edu Also e-mail your suggestions on who should turn up naked next... Any member of the class is fair game....Except Dave, Jim, and Priscilla of course that would be too weird!
Rock on wherever you are!

THE NEWER STUFF
Yes I know you've all been waiting for this update, it's been a long time in coming...
As you can see the page has undergone some MAJOR cosmetic changes:
I switched from black type on white background to the reverse basicly because I prefer it that way AND it made making my graphics easier.
Finally got the WAV file working! I've been at it for months.
New logos made with Adobe Photoshop
Eventually I'm going to find a way to incorporate Quicktime movies into the site but right not I haven't got anything worth showing!

THE LAST STUFF
Well, it's been a long hard year and here we are at the end of it. I've learned a Hell of a lot (as this page and its breathren can attend to). I've had fun and may even come to miss that strange anomaly known as Digital Culture.
Bye Jim, Bye Dave, Bye Priscilla!
Just by way of a parting shot, I'd like to end with a few words from the famed British comiedian Stephen Fry (Blackadder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster). Enjoy!

Fry on the Internet, 1995: "The battle rages as to whether Netscape's enhancements are rogue diversions that contaminate the purity of cross-platform accessibility or a vanguard in design that leads the way to a more attractive future for HTML." Probably the definitve comment in the browser war

Fry commenting on a favourite topic of ours: "Reading seems to be a thing of the past.
Stephen: I have this theory that if children were made to understand that a book is actually a small piece of technology in which text characters are packed in immense clever dense storage like a hard disk and even more efficient, and that you can buy one of these at any exciting gadget shop. Next to your Game Boy, there's this extraordinary thing, it's called New Hard Disk Book Systems, and it's on these white pages made of this extraordinary new material -- all these words in this dense form that are instantly retrievable, even faster than a hard disk; you can just turn the pages back and read it again. If they understood that that's all a book was, is a piece of very exciting technology...'
Hugh: 'I'm going to go out and buy one!'" From an appearance on the television show, TV-AM, 1993.
