Blog Hunter #3 RISD BLOG
16Feb09
Okay, so I figure i have to show some pride of RISD. If those of you don’t know John Maeda is taking risd – lack of technology by storm. The moment he was officially going to be president he wanted a blog. And of course RISD freaks out, saying no this can’t be done. But like anything Maeda just did it. YEAH!
If there is one thing about undergrads (don’t know about the grads – they have different social priorities) when we work, we don’t care if our teacher tells us “no that can’t be done.” Actually there are those of us, who definitely LOVES to dare the “no it can’t be done” type people, because we will build it and then present it without mentioning… “Told you it can.” So already Maeda is on the right footing to get our respect.
It is funny to compare our country’s presidencies to our own school. Cause really the previous man, put us in debt and thinks he was the greatest president for our school. But he never cared about the students, just the RISD museum. Well now we got the opposite, a president devoted to the students and will use technology or other means to keep in touch.
Blog Hunter #2 My mom’s blog
16Feb09
The link is embedded in the picture.
The next blog posting is from several years ago doing elder design researching. This women’s blog won my attention about understanding the feelings and influences she has to go through to help me to feel more empathic towards “silvers” (a word i coin for elders because now elders sounds very culturally negative in america. And what was funny several months later i found articles in japan calling their elders silvers too.)
Anyway i found her blog useful for connecting with other useful silver bloggers out there. With the help of her son, she even did “human factors” demos of what she cannot open on youtube.
Blog hunter — #1 Design Sojourn
12Feb09
okay. so i have decide to create a new category trend. It is probably the reason why i do not update my blog on a regular schedule. I hunt for blogs, usually the good ones, before they become popular. I have been reading this one for a good year now, and ever since IDSA has to advertise them, well, there goes my secret gem. but usually people read blogs but does not stick with them.
Anyway, I have the longest firemark – firefox- “GOD BLESS YOU” who every thought of that plugin, cause without it i would be a lost soul in the Internet! list of blogs and so forth for user research and “connecting the dots” of information for future design strategies. So… enough said check his blog out, for those who wish to know more about design and our “political” atmosphere we have to deal with everyday in the real world. LINK
