This week has really been about trying to come to terms with the concepts of PostHuman and, to a lesser extent, Cyborg. The latter seems more easily grasped in and I’ve found current events stories online very useful in clarifying what the cyborg is. For example, the creation of cyborg yeast and cyborg insects. For [...]
As Carol observed in her blog, after the ethnography I felt like I could take some time to reflect on all that had taken place and the work that had been done. I worked hard on the ethnography because I loved the process and felt that I had achieved something. I also wanted to do [...]
This week has been one immersed in ethnography, both in the making and in the sharing. I have enjoyed looking at everyone’s work and have got so much out of seeing the results of our readings and our attempts at creating an ethnography. This has helped bring the LifeStream and the course itself alive for [...]
For some reason, certain feeds stopped working on my LifeStream, namely YouTube and Delicious. This meant I had to tinker with the settings. This induced fear; fear of breaking something and not being able to get back my “stuff”. After it was all sorted and the feeds were flowing again, I reflected on this aspect [...]
This week I wanted my LifeStream to reflect what I actually do online rather than try to find things with which to fill it. As a language teacher, much of my online presence is occupied with finding resources, practice materials and classroom stimuli, so I wanted these to feed into my life as a student. [...]
Absence. That’s been my theme and my motif for the last 2 weeks. I have been largely absent from my LifeStream. The usual bag of mixed reasons applies: a bout of flu, shaken up by a car accident (not serious), heavy workload due to assessments, dodgy internet service, a wonky laptop requiring reimaging, more dodgy [...]
On the surface at least it looks as if not much has taken place on my LifeStream this week. I don’t want to flog last week’s metaphor to death but I feel as if I’ve been standing gaping at open wardrobes wondering exactly what to pack for the trip. The problem is, I feel as if [...]
Foutering. Adding feeds to My Lifestream is foutery. I haven’t used Twitter since IDEL, YouTube was somewhere I went to pass time and Flickr, until fairly recently, was banned in the territorial space I inhabit. So, I spent the week reactivating old accounts, realising that nothing really grows old online. TweetDeck looked as perky as [...]
