I had the enormous pleasure of spending the past week (i.e. my spring break) in San Diego and Los Angeles, taking plenty of time away from the computer and gazing at beaches (and even seals!) Alas, a new quarter has begun and I’m back to reality and gazing...

Have I mentioned here before that I work an additional job as a freelance (ghost) editor for a college and career counselor? Well, I’m mentioning it now and for one reason in particular: the ubiquitous “newspaper rhetoric” assignment. You know the...

Greetings! It’s good to see you. Take a seat. Oh, you’re already seated? Well, grab yourself a cup of tea. Make yourself comfortable. Ever since DML, this blog has been sadly neglected. This was not for lack of things to write about. In fact, I have a...

I know I’m already three posts into discussion of DML and, for those of you looking for other things on this blog (like, erm, Codeacademy, which I will duly resume at the end of this month), this may not be that exciting. But! The DML experience was really...

I did a pretty good job of wallowing in misery in that last post, didn’t I? Let’s just say that developing functional literacy ain’t easy. Shall I even mention the fact that I’m incredibly behind on my coding? No! Because I have something...

Most digital natives have likely had an experience like I had this weekend: helping mom with the computer. I’m not sure why she entrusts me with this task. I probably don’t know that much more than she does (though, of course, I have to adopt the bravado...

I have a confession to make: computers scare me. Admittedly, this is not ideal. I’m working towards graduate work in digital literacy/media studies. Yet if something goes wrong, I’m the first to call tech support, panicked. What am I thinking? And yes, I...
