Now that everyone is involved with Aggressive Technologies, it’s time to develop Georgia Finch’s job there. In my original post, I mentioned that she is an assistant software developer at Aggressive Technologies. However, that wasn’t her initial goal. Out of college, she applied to an internship program at AT. After…
This week had less assignments but a lot of work. I love movies and I am very enthusiastic about movies, so was excited to see that this week was all about movies. I did two daily creates. I tried to use some photoshop skills, even if the results were very…
This week I made a video essay about Ex Machina. In it, I compare different technical aspects of Ava and Caleb’s sessions throughout the movie. You can read the transcript of my video and find the link here. This was a very challenging assignment. I have done some editing and…

On Tuesday night I listened to an episode of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? on ds106 radio. I joined a little late, so missed some of the setup, but was able to catch up pretty easily. This is a story about a post-apocalyptic world where it is almost impossible…
Today I watched two videos from Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad. Both are linked below. In these videos, Jad Abumrad discusses the impact and uniqueness of radio. I was most intrigued by his ideas about connection between people. The way people interact with radio is different than movies or TV. It requires…
