eek

Eek so last week I obviously had a tough time (or impossible, whichever word you choose) updating my blog. I don't even know what I had to do, I just know i was busy doing it, then freaking reinjured my back again and had to be taken to the hosp. in an ambulance and they didnt even give me xrays for... absolutely no reason. But anyway.
I've been working a lot on my final paper for evolution of writing, that's sort of overtaken my time and any spare time is either spend thinking about it, or i end up talking about it.
As i said before, I'm writing it on the reprecussions and dangers of documenting your life online. But the interesting part is the setup of the paper, which is online. I have to learn how to make links and images into links, hidden links, figure out a setup of my general layout, what I want the essay to be like, if i want the linkaging organizedly or vaguely and scattered and mazelike.... these are sort of things i feel like i would have liked to learn in a course like this. It's honestly incredibly difficult to learn how to do things involving the internet when you have no idea what you're doing.
In that sense this class is good and I almost wish there was another class after it, writing in cyberspace II.... theres so much I'd like at least exposure to, to learn how to do ]things for real.
I've also been speculating on the class, and I believe that is what not only my podcast, but also possibly my neovox paper is going to be on. How this class impacted my life. There's a lot to say on that, so I think I'll write a separate post on that later.
But before I end this post, I just wanted to say that I got more out of the discussions on the course blog about the book than I did from the actual book "play money"... it didn't do much for me, but i mean.. not as bad as smart mobs, but maybe certain chapters from both, instead of all of each. kind of overwhleming and after awhile just mind-numbing. I think it might be because both are about worlds i'm not really a part of at all, and barely an observer/outsider because i'm not even aware of those worlds. It's hard to rreally get into something I don't have much history or associate with at all.
but it was well written so that was something that kept me interested.
more to come, most likely just indepth reflections on the class.
