MIN 496: PBwiki + docs

Hey MIN 496:

Your documents for the class are up in the DOCS section; the syllabus will be updated with a timeline when you are finished with that.

For next week:

  • launch your developer wiki (Please use PBWiki) and then you’ll need to add me with my GMAIL account;
  • begin to put your timeline together with what you know is due (project, reports, presentations, usability tests)
  • we’ll discuss on Friday potential project ideas (although you should have an idea from MIN 352); please use the Wiki to post your thoughts on potential projects.

next week

Hey MIN 499 (On Demand)

Next Friday, we’ll need to plot out the timeline for the class; you’ll need to make a decision about what company you’ll use (I would STRONGLY recommend Lightning Source).

That means you need to find a company, read their specs and begin to determine how and when you think you can get things done. I’ll take that and make a tentative schedule.

Nikki: would you please post your wonderful document on the MAIN PBWiki page so that we have that as a reference as we move forward.

NY Times: Barack Panoramic

View of Barack Obama’s Speech at Invesco Field in Denver

To MIN 352:

Here’s an interesting take on the start of Barack’s speech last night (please view it in full screen). This combines photography, audio and design together to give us a completely overwhelming view of what it must have been like last night.

To JOU 220:

The question for us is this: how do you (or do you) compete with a visual and audio story like this? What else would you bring to the table?

While we’re going to spend a great deal of time working on your writing, we must also think about what kinds of stories we want to write.
