I am truly taken aback by the websites that we had to look at this week. The amount of work and dedication that must go into their creation and upkeep must be a huge undertaking. But beyond that, they truly have the ability to pull you in to look at everything that they have to […]  Crowdsourcing is one of a select group of buzzwords and catchphrases that, like “core competencies” or “It is what it is”, never fail to give me gooseflesh. Too often it is used to disguise what is in essence just another marketplace bidding process, wherein many parties contribute, but only a few realize any […] In his post, Adam mentioned using the internet as a springboard rather than a place of isolation, and I think that’s a great way to summarize how LLC engages audiences. We have all been students at one time or another, and school lunches are hardly ever remembered as a glamorous affair, so the topic […] It’s hard to believe we’re already in week five of the first term of our first year of graduate school, but there it is.

Burroughs
Moving from Brooke Singer and her Undesigning Platform to the Lunch Love Community makes for an almost seamless transition. Both encourage their participants to confront the situation described by the abovementioned Burrough’s quote and […] Questioning what school children in your community eat for lunch starts off that kind of a conversation that I personally find valuable in this day and age where people can either get desensitized by too much information with no real-world connection or can just seek to affirm their biases and agenda by paying attention only […] “The rise of the sciences propelled man into the tunnels of specialized disciplines. The more he advanced in knowledge, the less clearly could he see either the world as a whole or his own self, and he plunged further into what Husserl’s pupil Heidegger called, in a beautiful and almost magical phrase, ‘the forgetting of […] In the Brooke Singer Project there were a lot of cool pieces of art, and she is indeed a multi talented artist. There were some sweet and interesting topics as well especially in the web tab such as “Social Relay Mail” and the “Eco News” However, the website lacks some essential elements in terms of […] |
