For this project I interviewed my wife and here is a highlight of our conversation:
Nathan: How would you define composition?
Tyne: Um, writing.
Nathan: When you write a paper what is the process you take to write the paper? Are you more traditional by using an outline, or do you like to write, review, and build on where you started?
Tyne: Usually I like to write, review, and build on what I have.
Nathan: How do you prepare yourself to write a compostition?
Tyne: Usually research the topic and have a plan in mind before I start.
Going "Second-Order"
The transciption process for me was hell. I didn't mind transcribing at all but I have two dogs and they were not liking it. I had to keep stopping because they were barking and distracting me. I had to eventually lock them out of the room to get some peace and quite. As far as the atmosphere that I transcribe in, (after the dogs were gone), it was very peaceful. I was in my office with some music playing in the background, (it helps me concentrate),a nice cold soda and the air set at 65 degrees. It was a fun process to take the words spoken by my wife and I and putting them to paper. As far as the difficulty there really was not any difficulty at all. I am really getting used to the new wiki. I was a little rusty since it had been a little while since I had been on it. Now that I got back into it I am going wiki crazy!
Thinking of linking..... and then doing it!
Ok so after reading some of the posts by everyone I came across Trish's page and I just had to talk about the iPhone. I honestly think that the iPhone is one of the greatest inventions ever made! I mean come on you can download games, music, movies and apps right to your phone. I have only had my phone for about two weeks and I will never get another phone. I am a little tech savy so I have done a ton of different things to mine. I jailbroke my iphone. For those of you who don't know what that is here is a little summary: Jailbreaking means pretty much bypassing the operating system on the iPhone and making it your own.. You can also set themes and change icons on your phone and really customize it. Another one of my favorite features is being able to have a five icon dock, rather than the traditional 4 icons. Also, there is an app where I can change my carrier name to what I want. For instance, my carrier name is supposed to say T-mobile, instead it say T&N. There are a lot of other things that can be done but they are kind of illegal. Another great feature is that I can view my email browse the web and even play games over the internet. I am writing this portion of my blog from my iPhone right now. Trish talks about the old rotary phones, I remember what those were like. The technology today is crazy and I feel that there is no denying that the iPhone is the best all around phone on the market today. There is an app for just about anything!! I was in my car the other day and didnt know the name of a song so I used an app called Shazam. Shazam listens to the song and then gives you all the information and you can even buy the song or CD on iTunes right from your phone! The phone continues to blow me away everyday.
Creative Commons License
I chose my creative commons license because I like being able to remix and rework other people's works and for them to be able to do the same thing with me. I like the fact that we all collectively can come together and create one amazing work of art. Writing was never really one of my strong suits but ever since I was introduced to the wiki and creative commons my writing has become a whole new monster!! I love the fact that we can share our writing and tweak and change others works to make them better and build something great! I think that working through the writing process together is another way for all of to expand and really open our eyes to new possibilities.
Emergence
Dictionary.com had three definitions for emergence. I chose the third one which says, Evolution. the appearance of new properties or species in the course of development or evolution. I liked that definition the most. To me when I hear emergence I immediately think of the word emerge and I think of the scene in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd is emerging over the hill on the scooter yelling "Harry". He is emerging from the horizon and that always seems to stick in my head.
