By the way, my pre-writing experience is awful. I feel I am in a theoretic fog: Ambiguous, Confused, Unclear, Obscure, Vague, Debiuos, Enigmatic, Indefinite, Inconclusive, Indeterminate fog. Please, Rescue me from this fog!
An interesting outcome of this whole prewriting exercise is that I’ve begun to make better use of diagrams as tools to understand readings and organize my thoughts. This happened somewhat by accident. I started out just trying to make some rough concept maps as an initial prewriting exercise. Soon the sketches consumed my attention, and…
O MY GOD, I just realized that I didn’t finish my pre-writing until now. However, I did some reflection-on-action work. After Tuesday’s class I decided to do the most time-consuming work: re-read those readings and gather all my notes and those underlined sentences together! It turns out that it is a huge project! Usually I…
I was thinking of the style of interface/interactions when I saw two devices at http://www.monsterdesign.co.kr/ I just compare the two devices in conceptual view of interface/interaction design; innovative or progressive, or futuristic or current suggestion. The first device is a conceptual MP3 player, Iriver. The second one is 5mega HSDPA phone K850i, Sony Erricson.…

The last two or three weeks have brought a couple of writing opportunities my way, some of which involved extensive prewriting and others that involved very little. I can without a doubt say that the prewritten papers were much, much easier to finish. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I submitted a paper to…
Concrete Phenomenon: In the Animal Planet original documentary nature series, Meerkat Manor, the viewer is presented with a reality different from other nature programs, and therefore, a different kind of response to that reality is generated by the viewer. In Meerkat Manor, the meerkats (the main characters) are given names, roles, personalities, and many other…
I am naturally a pretty skeptical person and when I was introduced to pre-writing I was a bit unimpressed. I felt that the ideas of pre-writing were obvious and that I have been doing them for years. I was wrong. I started my pre-writing exercise and realized half way through that I suck at pre-writing.…
