Notes From the Digital Frontier
Next gen thinking from the next generation of media insiders

Vista –> The Devil
Windows Vista actually made me cry this morning. I want to pummel whoever thought it would be a good idea to completely reformat a program that half the world has been using for years and that made perfect sense the way it was set up. It was such a simple thing, too, that [...]
Toasted Cheese
I have come across the most helpful tool in my current development as a Creative Writing major. As part of an assignment on reviewing an online literary magazine, someone in my class presented on www.toasted-cheese.com Apart from having a cool name, this website not only has awesome stories that it publishes, but it [...]
History is made.
We’ve made note of those Obama messages on this blog before. Here’s another I just received: We just made history. All of this happened because you gave your time, talent and passion to this campaign. All of this happened because of you. Thanks, Barack Share This
Comfort music
Plugging into my iPod is one of the most relaxing things I’ve been able to do this week. I came down with sniffles and a sore throat Monday afternoon and just wanted to curl up like a grizzly bear and hibernate for a week. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to do that since [...]

Second Life for First time users
This morning at Braken Library on Ball State’s campus there was a technology fair that took up most of the first floor. The latest and greatest gadgets were displayed and demonstrated for the public, and there were a lot of freebies. I wandered through while on a study break and saw one booth [...]

Happy birthday, now VOTE!
I’m sitting on my floor watching the last presidential debate for the 2008 election. I really don’t know what to think about all this. I was barely too young to vote in the last presidential election, and am very excited to be able to vote in this one. When I turned 18, [...]
