National Novel Writing Month

Hey all:

No matter your writing level…if you’re interested, November is National Novel Writing Month and there is a great collaborative environment for those who want to give this a try.

There’s no grade. No editing. No anything…just writing.

I’d love to have a group give this a shot. Maybe set up some informal meet-ups to write…or even just share good thoughts of support.

There’s more info here + if you’re interested, leave a note here.

What Is Social Media?

In terms of what we’re doing in Media Informatics, social media is using technologies to facilitate new ways to create, consume and connect with people using stories. This is a great example of what is happening online.

movie night - sponsored by media informatics

Once a month, Media Informatics hosts a movie night in LA 110 at 630 pm. We discuss large projects students have worked on, showcase work, discuss opportunities and general talk about creative projects.

And we have pizza and watch a movie.

This Friday at 630 pm, we are having our first movie night. The features: Tron and Hackers, a double feature for those who want to stick around.

Announcements happen at the beginning — as does the pizza — so no worries about sticking around all night if you don’t want to.
