#NetNarr Photo Indoor Safari: Seven Photos in a Mad, Crazy Twitter Dash

The cool thing about taking photos is that you have to look at the world a bit different. It’s not just the device you see through, it’s the way your eye sees the world through the lens that sees the world. Yesterday, before the Networked Narratives Twitter Chat (which I forgot about until it had started), there was a NetNarr Safari activity, which involved taking seven photos over 15 minutes with different visual prompts coming in over Twitter. I arrived […]

The World Wide Web

The World Is At My Finger Tips & I At Theirs...Meme Created by Stephanie Jones This week made things feel real. This was the first official week back as an active participant in the #NetNarr class. And I must say that I am scared all over again ( I am secretly glad that Alan caved and allowed us to have a list. The way my life is set up I need it.) There are aspects of this journey that feel familiar […]

Giffing around

I’m really enjoying making gifs at the moment. Today I’ve been messing around with Giphy and my little frog jester that I drew for #NetNarr. First I scanned my drawing to my PC and cropped it, then I used a combination of PPT and Paint to screen grab the image into three different places on screen. Then I used Giphy.com to make a slideshow and played around with the decoration options to add text and chance the backgrounds. Here’s a […]

Writing Poems in the #NetNarr Network

I’ve been trying to make sure I curate and collect some of the poems I have been writing each day for the Daily Arganee in the Networked Narratives space. I worry about poems getting lost. My intention with these particular poems with this particular project is to come to the prompt at a slant, so the poem may not always match up with the prompt. Instead, they are inspired by the prompts. Peace (poetics), Kevin

On Tracking

For Christmas, I received a Google Home Mini from my godfather. It was one of those items that I always felt like I would want, if I could find a purpose for it. And sure enough, a speaker that can set the alarm, tell me the weather, and of course play music proved to be very functional in my bedroom. But my sisters boyfriend saw something different in the Google Home Mini, something much more sinister. “Okay Google,” he began. […]
