rhetorics of cyberculture: January 2011
http://ilog-rhetoric.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Jan 30, 2011. Transmedia Worlds: A new story structure for all or a few? In this chapter of Convergence Culture. I'm skeptical of transmedia stories. A person needs to connect the dots across multiple platforms but the plot lacks a clear beginning; where do you start? EA's Neil Young explains,. In my opinion, Young is right to worry that some people, including myself, will reject such a massive time commitment. Can the transmedia format catch on when it demands so much from consumers? Jenkins himself rel...

rhetorics of cyberculture: Last.fm: gender-bending (and anything else you want) welcome
http://ilog-rhetoric.blogspot.com/2011/04/lastfm-gender-bending-and-anything-else.html
Apr 20, 2011. Lastfm: gender-bending (and anything else you want) welcome. In my search for gender issues on Last.fm, I came across a trend of male-identifying users with very feminine online personas (some examples: BEST FICTION. Last class I inexplicably claimed that I would assume a male is gay if he listens to female-dominated music, i.e. Lady GaGa. I am so, SO sorry if I offended anyone; that is not. A 16-year-old male from the US, and jamesssxD. I wanna put on some 9 inch heels n wallk down the str...

rhetorics of cyberculture: Literacy on Last.fm
http://ilog-rhetoric.blogspot.com/2011/04/literacy-on-lastfm.html
Apr 27, 2011. Literacy on Last.fm. Read any of my posts about Last.fm, and it doesn't take long to realize that this site is intricate and has complex features. As a member, I've encountered multiple literacies, on forums, profile pages, and other places around the site. Writes,"I will kill someone in order to see them live." Zheinerovich. Clearly does not relate and replies, "Then you're one retarded motherfucker." MathIsUniversal. Profile, for example, lamma-assassina. I'm flattered, thanks! And if you...

May 3, 2011. Cybersubculture Report: Last.fm. May 2, 2011. Convergence culture just around the corner. As an electrical engineering student, he is working on a senior design project with a couple of other group members. I was chatting with him recently and I found out that his group's project was featured on the Kotaku site. It's a short article, so I've gone ahead and included it here:. Here’s How You Handle Looking and Turning in a Motion-Control FPS. Will deliver it via Kinect. The design team (two so...

rhetorics of cyberculture: March 2011
http://ilog-rhetoric.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Mar 26, 2011. The digital divide, not what is used to be. The first two groups were the first to go and then the 'wangstas' split with half of them on Facebook and the rest on MySpace. I shifted with the rest of my school to Facebook and it became the place where the 'honors kids' got together and discussed how they were procrastinating over their next AP English essay. Is voluntary participation in multiple networks the only way to get closer to revitalizing democracy, or is there something else? The ex...

rhetorics of cyberculture: February 2011
http://ilog-rhetoric.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Feb 28, 2011. Neuromancer: nature meets machine. 14) He seems less confused about an LCD screen embedded in flesh than the waste of time it takes to get the screen sown into your skin. Later, Case meets Molly who has mirrored lenses embedded into her face, a time read out added to her optic nerve, and artificial burgundy nails with four-centimeter scalpel blades in each finger. Gibson gives many more examples of nearly un-human individuals. Feb 21, 2011. Social network sites: was this the plan? Primed an...

rhetorics of cyberculture: Constructing identity on Last.fm
http://ilog-rhetoric.blogspot.com/2011/04/constructing-identity-on-lastfm.html
Apr 17, 2011. Constructing identity on Last.fm. Profiles stand as the primary stage for presenting identity on Last.fm. The first clue to a user's personality is their avatar – the image displayed next to their activity all across the site – which sits at the top of the profile page. This image can be realistic (1), humorous (2), sarcastic (3), or anything else the user pleases (4). April 17, 2011 at 8:34 PM. We act completely irrational in order to curate an idealized version of ourselves when one parti...
