Term 1 was such a trip!!! I really jumped into this digital thing from no where.. and I don't type, its always a small mystery to me where the letters are after I've been away from the keyboard for even only a week...Failed high school typing...got switched into more arts classes, my councilor was a wise woman indeed!!!
I'm into Term 4, hence the official 'malteseDESIGNblog'.
Thanx to all the generous teachers and supportive staff at BCIT.
I've learned so much this year!!!
There's still so much to learn,
and it's an exponentially changing landscape.
That's what's so attractive about this medium.
The following is my first blog entry way back in early October 2006:
The Sand Box
Here I am… in the sandbox, it’s the Sahara-sized sandbox; the World Wide Web.
It’s the Australian-Gold-Coast-sized sandbox and I am immersed in a dive-in-the-deep-end, year long ‘web/CD-ROM development-new media design’ program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. In the New Media Centre of Excellence, no less.
The sun is brilliant. The water is fresh, clear, but I know there can be potential jellys and great, insatiable sharks in the depths. Imagined threats, my own conjuring of coarse, but none-the-less frightening, and destructive. I often feel that I’m gasping for air, choking on water, deep in panic to keep pace with 10 fingers times my instructors and classmates clapping on the keys, their chorus in high-volume surround-sound while my two fingers dance awkwardly in, still new to them, LCD light.
NOTE TO SELF: Breath deeply Maltese. Grow gills if you must! but don’t shut it down, not even one byte!
The recluse comes out to play…in a world rushing head-long through deep space, and for why? for what? for whom? and for, did I ask, why?
Only the intensity of birth comes to mind…
