Multimedia Reflections (April 4)

That is precisely the situation that two PUAs — Jared Rutledge and Jacob Owens — find themselves in after Ashevilleblog published an article about the owners of Waking Life Espresso and the online accounts of their exploits at Holistic Game and a Twitter account by the same name. It’s not surprising that the West Asheville community is protesting and boycotting the coffee shop — especially the female members of it, who learned on Twitter that they’re not human beings so much as “an endless supply of hot young pussy,” or that “there are no ‘special’ girls,” merely “cool ones and lame ones.” The lames ones, according to the Holistic Game blog, “could help themselves immensely by reading a few classic novels and working out a little [but] they get attention regardless, so the motivation to better themselves isn’t present.” Rutledge and Owens will learn a lesson in personal betterment the harshest way possible — by potentially losing the business they’ve invested so much in if the boycotts against it are successful. It’s only fitting that their business should suffer, however, given that they used it to pick up women, as all of the “Business” listings on that site indicate. “I met her in my business and we fucked a few times before she decided she wanted something serious and ended it,” reads one of many accounts.That is precisely the situation that two PUAs — Jared Rutledge and Jacob Owens — find themselves in after Ashevilleblog published an article about the owners of Waking Life Espresso and the online accounts of their exploits at Holistic Game and a Twitter account by the same name.

Kati Lewis led the group in a consideration of the many ways reflection plays out in thinking about learning. We discussed how multimedia reflections can aid students in thinking more deeply and in a more engaged way.

More resources to come.

The One-Photo Digital Story Workshop (March 21)

In this workshop, participants learned how to make a digital story using just one photograph. Participants were asked to bring a digital copy of a photograph and a short text (200-300 words). They learned the basics of video editing (the timeline, panning & zooming, transitions, adding various tracks to a video composition).

Here’s a playlist of snapshot digital stories (from the Center for Digital Storytelling). Here’s a story-in-progress from Lisa Bickmore. If you’re interested in learning about making a digital story of any kind, please contact us for support–we’ll be glad to help.

Handbuilt Books workshop (March 7)

Taught by Charlotte Howe, this workshop focused on constructing a single signature casebound book, using book board, cover and text papers, glue, needles and thread, awls, rulers, scissors and bone folders. Participants created the textbook, then covered the book board with cover paper, added a decorative inset, and finally stitched the binding.

Instructions forthcoming.
