Hello,
the past few weeks have been so busy creating parts of the game that we are making for our coursework. Today we did some prototyping in lessons to give us an idea whether our ideas are easy to understand and functionable.It was helpful and gave us an insight into what needed to be altered.
The rest [...]
? Promises made ? ?
Friday, 29 January, 2010 - 17:50
So been back at uni for a couple of weeks now and lots of work has been going on. Dissertation research went ahead last week in the form of a focus group which went really well. i was happy with the results and it seems to have led me onto doing a case study now [...]
Aargh! They ?re everywhere!!
Friday, 29 January, 2010 - 15:49
A 21-year-old medical student and member of the Islamic Society, who did not want to be named, said that the Qur’an was clear that man had been created and had not evolved as Darwin suggests. “There is no scientific evidence for it [Darwin's Origin of Species]. It’s only a theory. Man is the wonder of God’s creation.
This is worrying, if only even from a ‘my Dr. probably thinks my illnesses are just god’s way’ slant.

iPad
Wednesday, 27 January, 2010 - 14:17
I looked at this and straight away new that there would be mixed opinions and views about it…
http://www.apple.com/ipad/
I showed my mum and my sister, whom are both computer literate, but not very technological…They were great lovers of it, and very easily influenced by the video. I think a lot of people whom aren’t in the [...]

The Vice Guide to Liberia
Thursday, 21 January, 2010 - 11:30
This series on vbs.tv makes Liberia look absolutely terrifying and yet oddly compelling. Only the first 3 parts are up so far, but it’s definitely work a look.

Animals aren ?t always pretty
Wednesday, 20 January, 2010 - 10:54
But they always make for good photos. This book looks quite interesting, if only for a glance in Borders Waterstones when it comes out.

Last year is this year ? im scared
Saturday, 16 January, 2010 - 12:40
Its my final year, and I must say how much I?m sh**ing myself. There is so much workload for this final hurdle of my uni education. With the minor over and done with, which I was very proud of myself for completing excellently in the presentation…and presentations, is not my forte. So the Major idea, [...]
It's been a while.
Friday, 15 January, 2010 - 15:21
We're now in January. That's a whole term undocumented. So let's take it from the top. < br / > < br / > The first term was full of uncertainty for me. I couldn't think of a Major idea for a long time, I was dilly-dallying around the same idea and it took a long time to refine it. Now, I'm very happy with the idea and can't wait to get on with it. There was been an unforseen stumbling block which I'm about to overcome, and then the ball will be rolling. < br / > Then there's the dissertation which I'm far from excited about. I've had a few meetings now and have gathered up the pieces I'm analysing - I'm just a bit behind on reading, not to mention I'm a slow reader, and don't have many juicy quotes from elsewhere to throw in. I hate writing, hard. < br / > < br / > I've also had a very lazy Christmas break so it's about time I knuckle down and start putting in some serious work. < br / > Yes. < div class="blogger-post-footer" > < img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2801412812906599757-5528819207619864641?l=thomlikewoah.blogspot.com' alt='' / > < /div >

Thursday, 14 January, 2010 - 22:10
So a start of another year so, that’s new years resolutions that have probably already gone bang out the window and promises to turn over a new leaf also following it’s lead.
Christmas and new year was fulled heavily with alcohol and family and overall good times.
I did although look into this fantastic new project Interactive [...]
The final stretch ?
Tuesday, 12 January, 2010 - 14:16
So this is it…my final term of University. These last three years have gone bloody fast!
All my remaining deadlines are pretty scattered across the next 5 months, so I’m remaining positive and letting myself belief its going to be a breeze… Saying that, being back in Bournemouth now, I’m finding it so hard to start [...]

Monday, 11 January, 2010 - 18:43

Sunday, 10 January, 2010 - 14:52
Ok, so I’m back in Bournemouth now, have been for almost a week but still haven’t got any work done, oops! Not liking the snow either, getting kinda annoying now!

the google phone
Wednesday, 06 January, 2010 - 10:23
Having recently become one of the iPhone flock, I’m looking at the new Google Nexus One Phone with disdain and a definite lack of interest. Partly because it’s so expensive, partly because it’s not available to me just yet, but mostly because I don’t want to know if it’s better than the iPhone I’m contracted [...]

DJ Shadow is not a happy bunny
Wednesday, 06 January, 2010 - 09:16
I’m not a musician but I can more than appreciate what DJ Shadow is saying in this ‘rambling tirade’ on djshadow.com. (For the record – I’ve bought every one of his albums, and the vast majority of singles, and gone to shows. He’s a legend.)
