Privacy Bingo

This is a recent story about a young Georgia teacher, Ashley Payne, who was fired over what was on her Facebook account, even though it was her personal account with the permissions set to the highest priority level to prevent public viewing. She is now in the process of suing the school district for reinstatement to her position at Apalachee High School in Winder, GA. The offense seems to center around a photo of the teacher on vacation with an alcoholic drink in her hand and a comment that she was about to go out and play a game called "Crazy B___ Bingo". The photo and comment were copied and forwarded to the Barrow County superintendent by a parent. Clearly this incident reflects the value system of the administration, because the cited "offensive" content would be perceived quite differently in another locale.

Hyerupic: Sound from RGB Data:MAC USERS

Here is Hyperupic a computer Program written by Christopher Penrose for Mac OSX that makes sound from pictures. www.screwmusicforever.com/dreamweapon/Hyperupic.zip UPIC is a computer system, devised by the late Iannis Xenakis and his researchers at the CEMAMu in the late 1970s, which allows the composer literally to draw the elements of the score using an electromagnetic pen. This one uses jpegs loaded in and arcane values to tweak wierd music!

RunMe

Hello Everyone Well I was disaapointed to find that ToonLoop only worked well on Macintosh computers. Our Mac users are welcome to explore the usage of toonloop for your mini project(s). Think of the mini project as an add-on for your webpages or as a bonus avenue for your final presentations. Those of you who have PC computers, please go here http://www.runme.org/ and pick an application to study for a week. I will go over the site in class tomorrow and we'll explore the beginnings of CODE:ART. Runme.org has been around for quite a while and has a HUGE variety of materials to explore. Pat

Drawn From Life

A radio DJ I know believes that current Rock music is based on two albums: the “Revolver” album by the Beatles and the “Music for Airports” album of Brian Eno. Born in 1948, Eno is a pioneer of experimental and ambient music, and is widely cited as coining the latter term. In 1996 he and others founded the Long Now Foundation to focus the public on the future of society in the long term. A writer, visual artist, and musician, Eno continues to produce creative work and influence digital culture.
