Cool :-) Remixing reality sounds a much more succinct way of phrasing it too!
Know what you mean about chock-a-block schedules... although I theoretically have a nice relaxing week off this week (with a website to finish building, the bus station t…
I'd be interested in this, Kirsty, but at the moment my schedule is just chock-a-block. For one thing it sounds like it could be an interesting way to extend the remix - aka R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX www.remixworx.net - into the real world - remixing reality!…
I had found people complaining about the buses in groups on Facebook and answered them (which surprisingly made them all go very quiet!). When I launched the bus station Twitter feed and blog, I promoted these to those groups and got a small number…
Now, I am probably going to explain this really badly, but bear with me and shout if I am too vague....
I was at a techy/geeky meet up thing last week called bathcamp, where we heard a speaker talking about arduino.
Now, I am not an electronics pe…
Can I just say - THANK YOU CHRISTINE, the ning looks much better now!
A question - which is probably really obvious - but can any of us add photos to loop that plays on our home page? If so, is there a size you found worked well? Could be good to d…
Hi Jo
Its funny... I just finished writing a blog post about what I have been doing in my digital life recently! Unfortunately it hasn't been exactly creative (hopefully I will get time to do some creative work again soon... she says wistfully) but…

She apparently got lottery funding. I thought of you when I listened to the story. Good luck in 2009 . all good wishes

- Yes, yes, would love to read your crit commentary. I will attach mine too, if anyone is interested to read. I am particularly eager to read yours and Christines because you guys always seems so organised to me. I feel that I swerve all over the place before I get to my destination, so I want to see if I can glean how to approach a project in a more methodical fashion. But, I do feel it would be really interesting to read everyones crit comms and look at their work. So, is there a space where I can make some grand announcement about this? Also, I think Mags was asking to see some crit comms too for the dissertation, so it will hopefully help her.
I cannot attach the file here, let me see if I can find a space elsewhere for it in Ning.

- Hi Kirsty, I was very impressed by your dissertation project too. Actually, I would be very interested to read your critical commentary also. I think much can be gleaned from sharing the critical commentaries; something I have already mentioned to Sue.
Not sure what I am up to yet. My present job is quite demanding and staff cuts are going to make it increasingly so, so not sure yet if I would be able to balance a PhD with it. I am going to take a year to mull over the PhD anyway to get a clear idea of what I would focus on if I do pursue it. What about you? What ideas are you kicking around? I find myself pulled between what would be a research-based PhD and what would be a practice-based PhD. Both appeal very much. I enjoy research very much, but a practice-based PhD is tempting too.
