I need everyone in the class to e-mail me with the names of two places (city/state) in any of the 50 states excluding Indiana. One should be your favorite place outside the state to go and the second should be one place you'd like to go but have not been to you. (If you have never left the state please name two places you would like to go but please specify that you have not been to either place).
Please email your name and the two locations to fiehere@gmail.com with the subject "Info 310 locations"
If everyone could do this by Thursday I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Final Assignment_aapjohns
I originally wanted to do a kinetic typography video. But for one, they're getting pretty played out, I think, at least in the context of this class. I still really enjoy them (there's a Kinetic Typography channel on Vimeo that's pretty cool if anyone else likes these). Alas!, it would have taken entirely too much time; time that I cannot afford to spend. Perhaps I'll finish it on my own between semesters. Anyway, the topic was language, and kinetic typography, at least where I could find relative source material. In lieu of creating my own video, I took screen captures from one of my favorite videos that someone did with audio by Stephen Fry about language. I then applied glitching to the stills as a visual representation of the language that appears therein... except all glitchified. (I think Stephen Fry would approve of the word 'glitchify' so if you don't like it, sod off.) Enjoy!

My life (as seen through Pinterest)
(This was done earlier, but then I fell asleep and my cat turned off the alarm. He's like that.)
Keystrokes and Relative Time
This image shows the number of times I press each key (size), and the relative time they are pressed (darker is later, lighter is earlier). most of the keys had around a 50% early late keystrokes, but some (the ones most commonly used for games) ended up at 90% or more at night

Data Visualization

This is a visual representation of all my Facebook status updates since January 1, 2012. The size of the word corresponds with the number of times it was used. Larger words used more/smaller words used less. This particular model features 150 different words.

Same thing - this one featuring 200 words and largely horizontal layout, the one previous is more free form.
