Katric Frurphy's World: October 2006

Blogging for English 201 at University of Wisconsin Madison. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Page 256 is where she talks about MUD's and how they are used to create online personae. Turkle brings up Gergen's idea of a "saturated self" and how communication technologies create linkages between people's minds on page 257. Turkle uses the metaphor for the self of a home page acting like real estate, and connecting to each other by linking many pages all across the world on page 259. On page 269 Turkle comes to th...

Tuesday, November 28, 2006. I had never heard of the traveling salesman thing, but it makes sense. I like the idea of ants as traveling salesmen and how they instictively know, or figure out, the shortest route between not only a place but many places. If ants are leaving trails of pheromones along their paths, what are internet users leaving from site to site that allows us to use the same concept as the ants? What is bottom-up versus top-down. I understand the idea of each but examples would help.

Sunday, October 29, 2006. To be perfectly honest, I had trouble understanding both of this week’s readings. Even after our discussion, I left feeling perplexed. Naturally, I’m not sure which reading to write about. Anyways here it goes. Eenie meenie miney moe. Catch the tiger by the toe. If he hollers let him go. Eenie meenie miney moe. It looks like Sherry Turkel’s Identity Crisis wins. Yay. [Insert sarcasm here]. Posted by Mike @ 10:55 PM. Thursday, October 26, 2006. I knew some of the people who start...

Sunday, October 29, 2006. Writing in a Culture of Simulation. It is a lot harder to take notes on something that already has underlining, circling, and comments in it, but I will try anyway. I don' t think it is bad that people may use these programs as a way of expressing themselves to someone without any consequence. Does it ever become a problem that the computer is not emitting any real feelings or any real sentiment? Another interesting aspect of the text was the Turing Test. The Turing Test is ...

Friday, December 08, 2006. On Tuesday evening I attended the Dreamweaver 1 tutorial presented at College Library. Having already learned a lot about Dreamweaver through English 201 much of the class was repeat. It was helpful to relearn it since it had been awhile since we talked about the processes in English. There were quite a few new things that they presented as well. This was especially helpful because I had not started my final webpage yet and it gave me some new ideas. It is a great tool to use.

Sunday, November 19, 2006. Have you ever wondered what it is about winning and losing that really changes a person? Maybe it is not just winning and losing but the concept of success. In sports, people usually do not get as heated over a scrimmage as they would a regular game and then once a championship is in grasp, competition starts to boil over. What makes one person more competitive than another? Does an uncompetitve person not care about the outcome, or just does not let the win or lose effect them?

Sunday, November 26, 2006. I’m not sure of the answer to this question. It seems that many emergent systems do have feedback systems, but I don’t know if it is a requirement in order to be one or not. Posted by Christy @ 11:25 PM. Tuesday, November 21, 2006. The slime mold example seems to fit that, however, I am unsure if that is just a special occurrence. I had another question after looking back over the reading. Is emergence and evolution the same thing? Posted by Christy @ 5:21 PM. One of those days.
