Week 11
This week in our lecture we were showed the Photosynth video from ted.com. I thought this video was pretty amazing, showing how thousands of other people photos from flickr can be arranged to create a full picture/model of a building. I watched the video a number of times back at home and then found many other very interesting videos on the ted.com site.
Week 10
So this week in the lecture we learnt about such concepts as the long tail, re-mixability and co-creation. Web sites such as wikipedia, myspace and facebook have all been built using the co-creation concept. I find this pretty amazing that some of the most popular sites on the internet have started from a very simple yet popular idea, and have then been created by the users themselves. In a...

The online stencil art exhibition may be easier in terms of getting permission to use the pieces of art, because this...
HTML?…..CSS?…..
Until class this week HTML has always jus looked like a whole lot of very confusing codes to me, and to tell you the truth I really didn’t have a clue what CSS meant or what is was. When broken down I was actually very surprised as to the technical simplicity of both these. This is not to say that I now totally know how to create a web site using both HTML and CSS,...
Hey Guys
So this is my first ever attempt at blogging.
Before this class I had never really been interested in blogging at all, I had just never investigated what it is all about. In a way I guess I kind of thought that blogging was just a whole lot of people posting their life story’s online, and why would I care about that?
So when I got to class yesterday I must say I very skeptical that I...
