Process, sketch, execute
Not sure this image is in enough focus, but see below for my sketch of the weather box (and a few posts down for a text explanation / inspiration. In the sketch below, you see the outline of the box, where various inputs might fit, as well as the wiring (coming out). What’s not depicted: music / video projection: that comes out from my Processing sketch based on various parameters...

Comm Lab Web: Assignment 2 →
Learning Javascript and CSS in a week… communication lab web’s fly-by of the web is flying by. Perhaps the most interesting thing so far has been understanding the difference between using HTML and CSS: only use CSS for styling and do not ever try to get fancy while getting simple (don’t CSS in your HTML). My favorite part of this recipe is the Spartanburg, S.C. background...

Comm Lab Web: Assignment 1
1. Reading: I appreciated our reading “Programs vs. markup.” It defined HTML (“HyperText Markup Language”) as a data format rather than a programming language.  2. Homework: Link to the Recipe Link to the Contact Form 3. Process: It was interesting to think of HTML as the bare bones skeleton of a web page. I’m excited to learn more about CSS and Javascript.  I...
