The Real Final Project

My final project consisted of an original song that I recorded, wrote, and played. It's an instrumental with programmed drums, bass, acoustic guitar, strings, English horn, and clarinet. The strings, English horn, and clarinet were created with the keyboard.

I also decided to play and add a very amateur video with the song.

After spending way too much time on this project, I decided to move onto something else

New Media Scavenger Hunt

Since I work at St. Francis, I found myself noticing how they or I use new media. Here's the five I came up with.
1. Epocrates- A database of medicines the replaces the PDR(Physician's Desk Reference)
2. Tracking Board- This is a digital board that tracks patients in the ER and urgent care.
3. Digital billboards- There is a billboard that announces all the new deliveries that says things like "It's a boy......Born to Bill and Sue.....named Dakota.........7 lbs. 5oz........... Now when you're searching for newborn babies to kidnap, you know where to shop
4. Medicine dispensing Kiosk. You need 30 mg of Torodol so you go to the Kiosk, insert the patient's name and ID and it dispenses it like a Pez dispenser.
5. Envision. This is a method to display all radiologic test to a physician that signs in to the system. From there, they can pull up any Xray they need and view the film

Class of April 13

Susan Tennant taught today's class since Beth was tied up. We talked about the definition of New Media for the first part. After our definition we read the definition in the mission statement composed by faculty. Later we discussed political things and grass root movements. We also discussed the possibility of the internet changes that may come including paid internet and government interference and how this would effect free speech. We are to find 5 types of New Media outside the campus for our next project.
