Twitch!
This week’s Live Web assignment: Find a live or synchronous site or platform online. Try it out. Describe it on your blog. How is it used? What do you find interesting about it?
Month: February 2016
Gizoogle Chat
Of the useless things I’ve created at ITP, this one’s probably my favorite. It’s a chatroom where your chats are converted with a Snoop Dogg translator.
Playing With Maps
For today’s assignment I played around with the maps at Stamen. It took just a few minutes to get their basic map up and running, so I tried a few other things, which didn’t go as well.
The Internet: the Best—and Worst—Thing
Our assignment this week was to recreate “I will talk with anyone” with some personal flavor. I had a lot of trouble coming up with something.
Yogi Tea: Unexpected Storytelling
One of my favorite unexpected places to find a story is Yogi tea labels.
Living on a Stream?
For Live Web this week we were asked to read “Living on a Stream: The Rise of Real-Time Video” by Steven Levy, who argues that by 2022, more than half of all video will be watched live, and take a side.
Video Self Portrait
Our first assignment for Live Web is to use HTML5’s video or audio tags along with JavaScript, to create an interactive self portrait. I created a webpage that shows my state of being according to the current weather in New York City. If it’s 70 degrees fahrenheit or above, a video of me having fun in the sun plays. If it’s below 70, it shows a video of me having trouble waking up.
