Farewell, Farewell

This post marks the conclusion of this blog. In a weeks time I'm shutting off the lights. That's right. Lights off. While I appreciate the brevity of the blogging experience, and the community-based aspect of the overal design, I feel whenever I write within the context of a blog I always feel as though something is amiss, that I forgot something, or that I'm not necessarily one for regurgitating information. I don't know. Maybe I'm different. Weird, even, due to my predisposition for writing in lengthier, more exploratory modes.

Don't take this as criticism, I can appreciate the clockwork of blog-posting, but I enjoy playing with other types of clockwork, cockwork that typically includes 1) drama 2) characters 3) utter disfunction or 4) any combination of the aforementioned.

Does anyone else feel the same about blog posting? Am I just being a technological scrooge?

New Site

You can check out my site here (I will get the link up and working when I get home late tonight). It's entitled the Hydra Project. I know I stated in a previous post about my interest in physics, specifically centripedal force, but my mind (the ever-tangling spiderweb it is) has jumped tracks.

You can see the result of my non-linear project here:



I'm satisfied with how it turned out.

Ridiculous dancing aside, my brain now turns to a script (the Hydra Project) I was working on for class (I'm continuing to work on this script outside of class, due to my interest in it). Many aspects of the script itself, as well as the technology required to run what I'm pushing for, deal with another of my obsessions: Neuroscience.

The progress of my script is going to require some neurological devices to read the familiarity of a participant. The term "familiarity" runs under the term "Familiarity Heuristics" in psychology and Neuroscience arenas.

So, what do you think about the possibility of gauging someone's familiarity of images/subjects? Scientists have already conducted studies to indicate a difference in brain process when the participant is introduced to familiar/non familiar environments.
