the first week

Well here we are. University. Insert the cliches about growing up and moving out. Bird flew the nest. Hopefully not over the cuckoo's nest. Etc.


Me with my new apartment keys. It's all very exciting.

So here I am! Radio and Television Arts at Ryerson. Let's begin.

"The first post on your blog should be a reaction to the Digital Media lecture."
Okay. I loved it! The class got me super stoked on RTA. What's that? I can take pictures and play around on photoshop for class? Sign me up! Oh wait... I am signed up. Right.

Before that first lecture, I thought “digital media” was film, music, and art that was electronic. Quicktime players, iTunes, etc. After the lecture I realized that indeed it is that and more. Much more. Cellphones, video games and the like.

Why should a student in RTA take a course like this one in digital media? Why not!
It's the way things are going! How many times have we heard that technology is taking over the world? Like a billion and 5. I counted. Robots will soon take over the world and we need to be ready.

So here's to a great semester of learning. Wow I guess I'm a huge geek. Follow me for some adventure into the arts of the future. Or something like that.

Oh and Ps. Of course McLuhan was right. The Medium is the message. This blog is about me blogging. Not about what I write. Well a little bit about what I write but you get what I mean.

Pps. To anyone else lurking out there, rate me 5 stars for the MuchMusic VJ search! Thanks!
