HCI+Games=HCI/Ludology right?
So back to the topic of games, I’ve posted a few times on this… but games are important: we spend more money on online games than music. Gaming is the #1 online activity. HCI studies technology with very different methodological and philosophical bent than Computer Science or it’s many sister sciences, that of phenomenology. This…
On the philosophy of technology
I am posting a link to my blog in the hopes of getting your thoughts on my recent post on the topic mentioned in the title. Feel free to comment on it here or there.
Do we dare design anything?
Disclaimer, this was sitting in my unpublished drafts for at least a week or more. Sorry about that. OK so my title is alarmist and/or tabloidish, but honestly after listening to Jeff’s lectures this week, I am fairly convinced by his syllogistic logic. The tools used to create “amateur” media (and mainstream media too, but…
Horrah for coming back to HCI!
So with the last question Jeff gave us for our in-class exercise on Thursday I was happy that we are starting to relate film theory and the philosophy stuff (which I have really enjoyed, don’t get me wrong!) back to HCI. This was in fact a major drawback of a couple parts of a course…
Really poor liveblog from 10-2-07
Usual disclaimers apply: This was typed very quickly and hasn’t been edited for style, content, layout, completeness, for non-aaron comprehension. If it’s not helpful for me to post these, please let me know. Scientific VisualizationsTM Time axis, we started in the rocks and then our awareness of theory has increased and concommitantly our stress…
lecture liveblog 9-27-07 (poorly written)
OK so my disclaimer here is that I was just not in the liveblog zone today. It takes a certain amount of cognitive function to both absorb and get what’s happening on the computer at the same time, and discussion is especially hard for me. Jeff, Marty, Mike or whoever has editing powers, please do…
Microcommunity of lol cats
icanhascheezburger There is the link to the site I mentioned and here is the article in the WSJ I have actually gone back through from the beginning (click start at first) and looked at every single one. The self-refferential material and in-jokes are all over the place, but I think almost anyone can read 3-4…
Lecture liveblog 9-25-07
Jeff has been reading the blog, and he loves what is happening because it helps him to know what we know as well as what we don’t know and it’s apparent that we know phenomenology but we “don’t know dick” about structuralism. He also noticed that we are mostly posting later in the week, he…
My prewriting experience
I enjoyed Marty’s presentation and channeling of Jeff this week, sitting in class I thought I “got it” when we were talking about it. I was baffled by the partner exercise part, but saw it’s purpose after it was done. When I sat down to do it, I simply didn’t get much out of the…
