I am really excited about all of the creativity we are going to be able to explore with our “Black Mirror” episodes. I know with the group we have, we are going to have quite a few exciting possible stories to go over with each other in class. I think we could all use a […]
I’ve always been sort of interested in accounts and stories of doppelgangers. They’re sometimes tied to episodes of out of body experiences as well, and I’ve sort of experienced both. I remember once as a kid, I was maybe around 10 years old, I realized I was looking down on myself laying in bed up […]
“Do you agree to the Terms of Service?” I took a cursory look at the Terms of Service:1.) Use respectful language.2.) Be respectful of others.3.) No profanity. Blah, blah, blah. I quickly clicked, Accept. I wanted to be part of a social community during a period of isolation (quarantine, shelter-in-place, and stay-at-home). I wanted to […]
A few months ago before this pandemic hit us I was visiting my older brother and nephew in Maryland. I was with my Mother one day and we were in the living room. My brother randomly asked Google a question about traffic and the weather. We didn’t realize until we heard it talking back to […]
As we come to the very near end of the semesetr, #NetNarr management has promoted me to producing my own episode in the Net Mirror series! All jokes aside, in the final classes within this amazing #NetNarr adventure, we have finally gotten to the point in where we will producing our own episode in the […]

It has been awhile since I’ve posted. In a sense, while my internet was down at my home, I owe some thanks to Verizon Fios for giving me some detox time from the screen. The data detox kit has a lot of useful information in it. I took particular interest in the phone detox information. […]
I’ve visited the insomniac theater more than I care to admit. The small, creeping hours of the night have left me restless and confused. It is such a strange time to be awake…the middle of the night. When I had an alarm clock with ambulance-red digital numbers, I used to often stare at the moving […]
This week we had a great (virtual) class and I can feel the intellectual and creative energy that you all are contributing. I can’t believe we are nearing the end of the semester, and despite the fact that this has been an extraordinarily difficult time, I am starting to realize how much I will miss […]
The Data Detox Kit truly encapsulates what it is that we have been talking about all semester long. When I reflect on the meaning of this class, I interpret it as a look into ways where we can reduce our online footprint and be more present in our everyday lives. I am actually somewhat familiar […]
