This is one of the three mobile phones HTC just released. The company plans to have more patterned mobile phones become available in the market in the near future. I have not seen mobile phone like this in America. In Asia, where lots of people are crazy about knowing and buying mobiles that just enter…
I know my portfolio site is so terrible, but I just get a headache when I think about to make a new one, because that two words–portforlio site means maybe more than ten hour work! But finally, I could not tolerate anymore! I felt shame when I look at it and call myself a designer.…
I am working on coming up with some ideas for the final paper, but am having trouble. I have three overall objectives for this paper: Use concepts we have learned in this class Write a publishable paper Write a paper that is useful to designers (as opposed to just academics) I have done some pre-writing…
I finished my pre-writing in chaos… Actually, I have looked for new topic for pre-writing that is related to so many articles and theories in class. I realized that a new and novel one didn’t come up with my mind.. I drew out a topic that I have been thinking about for some time from…
I’ve pre-written many papers before. But I can’t ever remember partaking in serious pre-writing when 5 points weren’t rewarded for it.

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…
[Marty] My name is Marty … and I’m a pre-wirter. [Group] Hi, Marty! [Marty] I guess I’ve been a pre-writer for some time now, I just didn’t know it. At least not until Jeff held the mirror of truth up to my face. Even though I think I already know what I’m doing, I plan…
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…

In Meerkat Manor, the meerkats (the main characters) are given names, roles, personalities, and many other…
