Doggone Weird

Last I made a collage of pictures of dachshunds, using found pics on google. Full disclosure...I am a total dog person, and I just love our two dachshunds, Ricky and Jack. However, I am a little weirded out by the shear volume of sites and pics out there completely devoted to a single breed. That degree of monomania is a bit unsettling.

Personal Infrastructures - A Dog's Life

Starting to work on the assignment to make a movie about personal infrastructures. While I thought about making it on the infrastructures of the dogs' lives, I became much more interested in how the dogs impact the structure of our life, and also how we use our space. These are 15 4"x4" frames comprising the initial story board for the movie

Connected

Spent a good chunk of yesterday getting "connected." For Media & Communications class, I had to sign up for Google Wave, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Blogger, Delicious, and Twitter. Wow...that's a lot of accounts and a lot of connection. Having had to carry a pager since 1991, I am more than dubious about the level of availability. I cannot tell you how many times I have threatened to flush my pager down the toilet. I wasn't 100% sure I even wanted a cell phone (though I have certainly come around on that one..... still playing with my Samsung Behold II).
