Is Wordle the new Twitter???

 

A quick holiday gift tip for you all: think of a person you want to give a gift to. Find out his or her favorite book, or take some of his or her written work, like Dave did, and put it up on wordle. Then, print it out frame it, and there you go, you’ve got a christmas gift for something that is thoughtful and unexpected.

Here is a summary of my three most recent term papers. Yes, three semesters’ worth of research and sleepless nights neatly folded into a 111k picture. I feel both pride at seeing my work rendered so artistically and insignificant at the same time.

 

I’m kind of  a one note guy. Anyway, after some discussion with both myself and Dr. Cohen, I think I’ve figured out what this project is going to be all about. I’ve narrowed it down to a content project based on a historical site. I am going to focus the website towards people who have never been to the place as well as those who will never go there. I think this will work. I think.

As far as the readings this week are concerned, I found them both fairly interesting. It was neat to see how Ayers and Thomas integrated technology into their work. I also am really interested in the API’s that Dr. Cohen discussed in his piece, but unfortunately “Google has deprecated the use of the Google SOAP Search API which [the syllabus finder] uses” so I was unable to play around with it or find more Irish history stuff.
