Technology was not my friend this week on many different levels. The song that was I trying to post on Sound Cloud on Thursday for the Daily Create was rejected for copyright issues (even though it was a song I downloaded legally off of iTunes). Disheartening especially because I spent $4.99 on an app that would help me pull it off of my iPhone and put it onto Sound Cloud. I was still able to complete my Daily Creates for the week however by doing the Thread Painting and the Noise Pollution assignments. Noise pollution was a glimpse into what I do almost every day in the fall. It might be a different time of day and a different place but no matter where I’m at, it pretty much sounds the same.

Due to my work schedule this week, I was unable to attend the online discussions on The Wire or watch and Tweet live with my classmates but I’m hoping that I will be able to this coming week.
I completed several of the visual assignments in the assignment bank including Warhol Something and 9 Lives. I started to do the assignment for the wanted poster but as I began to download the picture I created it began putting all kinds of other programs on my computer and I didn’t want that so I ceased the download. I had a really good one made though so I won’t give up on that assignment.

Because I had to work for 9 days straight, I didn’t get to interact with my classmates as much as I normally do. I will make up for that next week.
As for this pesky Known. This is another thing I will add to my list to get help from Jim Groom this week. I just can’t seem to figure out how to link everything into Known so I’m having to update the same thing on different sites right now. I keep getting an era message to boot when I even pull up the screen to link Twitter so I’ve found that to be the most frustrating thing for me this week. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m missing but technology sure has a way of making me feel old at times.
Hopefully I will have more happy news to report next week…
