Web 2.0

In one of my many procrastinating moments, I came across this website called Name This.

Its basically a company that “rebrand” or come up with names for new companies/enterprises but are too lazy or not creative enough to come up with their own. Or are they? Could they be more intelligent than that and by using the online “world” actually be producing some of the most creative names in commerce?!

Someone had a seriously good idea with this site – but on the topic of Authorship…who is the author of the new name?! After all the people behind ‘Name This’ couldn’t have chosen the best option had it not been for the wider online community contributing to the site.

The site actually marks your suggestions with a comment i.e. Very Unique, Average and Not Unique. There are loads of completed ones as well as those still active. Each has a countdown of how long left there is to post a suggestion.

Pretty amazing stuff – lets just hope that these people aren’t getting paid LOADS of money for the work of other innocent people.

 

Anyway, I think thats enough for now.

DONE!!

The Wall…

…has been pushed over! Woop woop!

How long will it remain defeated is the question though?

Progress

Progress on the project is slow, very slow currently.

I’ve currently hit a brick wall and have been sat at the computer for properly around 2 hours now just thinking about not a lot and running out of other things to do – so it looks like I’ll be back onto the PHP sooner than I thought.

Just think it’ll all be over on Thursday – which is both a good thing and bad thing as it means that the deadline is fast approaching, faster than I want it to! Nevermind, it shall be done – if i don’t throw myself out the window first hahaha.

Over and out.

My SecondLife Avatar

 

After the fairly successful virtual lecture last week, and at the request of Joe, I have posted a snapshot of my avatar.

As you would expect, it looks nothing like me! I for one do not have pink hair, spikey yes, pink no. I just thought it would be funny to have it like that. The hair combined with the slightly camp looking tank top…I’m doing well for myself dontcha think?!

Animated Music Video

What seems like an eternity ago now, I saw a music video on ‘The Hits’ over the summer. At the time having not long finished our ‘Animation’ unit I thought it was a good example of I think is stop frame animation. Correct me if I’m wrong.

So here is the video;

It is too an OLD song, and the quality of it is pretty poor, but I thought it was quite clever. For the time it was made this was probably revolutionary (well not that extravagant but you know what I mean!).

Anyway, that has finally got rid of that link from my Bookmarks bar

Authorship – Start of Year 2!

So this post has been a LONG time coming. I thought it was about time that I got a blog entry out onto the web again, seeing as I had been waiting for my house internet connection to go live (this took 2 months!) and now it has I don’t really have an excuse not to write it!

Also it distracts me from my project a lil bit more everyone’s a winner. Hahaha!

Anyway, blog. So yeah welcome back to the uni year. I MADE IT. Hard to believe but my [lack of] hard work paid off. I’ve finally started this project as well, a little late you might say, but better late than never. It is starting to hit me just how much work there is left to do – and its a pretty scary thought! Still, perseverance pays off in the long run.

On a positive note I have my CV sorted. I had one before starting uni, however, it was 4 pages long i.e WAY too long for the needs of our media work placement. So after a nice brutal meeting with Karen in the GES it is now looking all pretty and streamlined! Its my fault for having done too many things in a short space of time!

That is about all I have to fill you in with for now. Although I am determined to start blogging more frequently. I know I said that last year and it lasted a couple of months, but I do intend to do it! In fact, I can feel another one coming on right now…!
