Hi, I'm not really sure how this all works so I'll just stay nice and stale and write about my particular interests in the class. I think that's all that was required of this week anyway.
After sitting in on the introductory first weeks class, I found the breakdown of what this class will be going over rather interesting and appealing in some aspects for me. This is a required critical study, and it was a choice of mine to pick this class because I thought it sounded alot more stimulating (bad word) than the other classes.
According to the four categories that will be covered, I found one angle for each that I could relate to and understand enough to expand on.
I find that in subjects like leet speak, it reminds me of the hand held calculators that the kids in junior high would think was so cool to type the numbers 4337 and turn it over and it said hell. That's as far as that overview reached me personally. The graffiti (sp?) as art but is the text in the fourth covered area of architectonic should be fascinating and beautiful since I love graffiti as an art form and know some poor souls who felt compelled to wander the city at night doing it. (not me I sware although it would have been an experience I could have lived with).
The other portion of the class that I look forward to is in covering alientory code, where it's random and spans into such areas as oracles, tarot: that kind of stuff is not only extremely enlightening when used as entertainment, but I am always amazed at how it achieves a sort of brainstorming effect, creating random results to various searches for insight and self analysis. Whenever me and my girlfriends do cards for fun, we sit and gossip about all the different information that the cards trigger, which really already exists but gets put into new orders and thought about in new ways. That probably makes now sense.
This class feels like it will take me down a geeky path, which I don't really mind. Geeks rule the world I guess. It's respectable.
Please bring me a class reader. And also, I still don't really know if I'm doing this right. But here goes....
