The Usual Suspects…

Hey~ Sorry I couldn’t join everyone in class this week. Unfortunately, I’ve been very sick lately and apparently it’s getting worse before it gets better. I would not have been my usual pleasant presence had I been in class in-person this week. Anyway, I am sorry I missed getting to discuss different ideas for the field guide with everyone. I’m sure that would’ve been fun and constructive ^.^ As far as that subject goes, btw, I am thinking of focusing on […]

field guide 1.0

It’s that time of the semester, folks. The time when we have to pick our topics for The Final Project–in this case, the weekly-aforementioned field guide we’ve been gathering sources for. In class, we were tasked with perusing through those sources, thinking back on previous class discussions, and starting to brainstorm the topic we wanna focus on for our sections of the field guide. And so we did. And after perusing and thinking, I came up with: I remember getting […]

Are Memes Copyright

Memes are so popular now that when someone creates a Meme it spreads like wildfire, but they are funny and they lighting up your day. The question is are Memes copyright and if so who owns them?

field guide attempt 0.5

GIFs. With a hard “G.” We love em, especially when they’re relatable, iconic, and not pronounced like a peanut butter brand. I suppose for this field guide, what’s needed is a modern(ish) overview of how GIFs are used, where they’re used, and how set in our everyday social media usage they are. I came across the article, “How Animated GIFs Are Taking Over” by Elise Moreau, which gives that overview that I was looking for. It gives examples of how […]

Making that “Paper” by GIF Commercials

I was actually looking through Reddit (of all places on the internet) to find something related, and long behold… I managed to find a linked article […]

The Search Warrant for Echo’s Data

But I'm happy to say that teenagers are starting to see that their privacy is violated every day thanks to […]
