I have been working on my story and creating my GIPHS. It has been fun playing with the animations and seeing how they can be used in various platforms. So I don’t want to spoil the post for next week, but I can say that this creative writting has inspired my inquiring mind into the […]
Here’s a note on why I titled this blog post “Las Colas de Fairy Tales.” Tails get twisted, they can ensnare, right? Additionally, all of my life I have heard this Sicilian proverb when encountered with the difficulties of ending an endeavor, a project, etc…”A cuda (the tail) e forte a sciuppare,” which translates to…the […]
In the “Net Mirror”, we close our time together with the composition of speculative fiction(s) in order to help synthesize our complex feelings (anxieties ?) regarding our relationship with technology. Each story will grapple with the reality of our data-driven society and the omnipresence of data surveillance. In the process of building unique story concepts, […]
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 […]

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 […]
I see my story unfolding already. Dr. Seelig was actually the first human to inject the RFID chips into his body. He is actually from New Jersey, so that makes it a little more close to home. He will be gunned down by his mistress lover, as she knows that the chips hold all of […]
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. […]
