Papyrus and the downfall of civilization
I have never felt more like a hipster than sitting down in my living room with my husband, drinking a microbrew beer, and watching then debating the film Helvetica.
tweet tweet
I would say that since taking this class, I can understand more why twitter is a medium of the masses. My personal use of twitter has been 99.9999% consumption, and 0.0001% production. I can see why people enjoy it, because I like to use it as a medium to follow specific news people – but why not your friends as well? I currently check facebook about as frequently as I check twitter (a few times a day), but i’m finding i’m moving to more twitter and less facebook.
My data is going to be mined in either location, but I think the concept of micro blogging on my blog is pretty amusing, and something that I have already looked to incorporate! (Currently I have a widget that shows my feed at the bottom of my blog page – scroll down!) but, I am looking for a way to integrate it into my meganspurr.wordpress.com.

The article on Wikipedia that I plan on editing is Starfire (comics): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfire_(comics)
Hello tubes on the interwebs!
My name is Megan Spurr, and I am excited to take this course. I am an avid reader of blogs and other interweb forums of various content (Penny-arcade, apartmenttherapy, etc). I have never really blogged myself – I am more of a consumer of this content than of a producer. I often comment on other blogs and discuss with others online. Of myself, I was a music major until I learned that I dislike music majors, and I was also a computer science / programming major until I learned that I didn’t want to be a code-monkey for a living. I have done various things like work in radio, the XFL, Fred Hutch, and now contracting with Amazon.com. My husband (in this class as well – Hi Charlie Brown!) and I thrive on video games and very rarely use hard copy anything.
Cheers!
