...On ReMediation

Every form of media is constantly being replaced with another.

Had a journal? Now you have a blog. Remember waiting to see how your pictures came out? Now we can view them on the camera. Can you think of anything that can't be uploaded to your ipod?

New forms of "revolutionary" media these days aren't usually "brand new," but are better forms of the media we already had. We can't go back. This video about the "i-vinyl" demonstrates this very well, I think.

Websites: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

WEBSITE REVIEW

Based on content, visual appeal, and navigability

The good: John Edwards' campaign site. It has a rollover and drop down menu bar, it's red, white, and blue, of course, and it doesn't have too much information on the home page. It's easily navigable and it's clear on how to get the information you want. Not sure who to vote for? Take this select a candidate quiz .

Here's a few, more relevant, websites that I like:

louisiana travel

Into The Wild movie

Padre Island National Seashore

The bad (the ugly): To me, ugly IS bad! Besides the obvious American Press website, for its extreme clutter, Sulphur's newspaper isn't terribly good. It's not very visually appealing, which is sometimes a consolation for not-so-good content. In a town like Sulphur, high school sports is the idea of "content."
