This could be a VERY good thing…(I can’t belive I’m using the word ‘good’ in relation to microsoft!) Groove is an amazing tool…integrating the features into Office could have HUGE implications, esp. for Ed Tech-ey sort of things. I’ll keep my eyes on this one.

So, today I tried bubble tea…have you ever tried bubble tea? I think, it’s pretty much HANDS DOWN…THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I’VE EVER HAD IN MY MOUTH. Mushy balls of goo popping thru the straw every time you take a sip is the most unappetizing thing, EVER…ugh, it’s going to take a long time to recover from this experience.

I went to a lecture this afternoon featuring McKenzie Wark…very interesting…and of course exactly what I was trying to do for my TE paper! I just have to remind myself that I don’t have a lifetime of studying Marx under my belt, so how COULD I speak that eloquently? He had a VERY intersting use of Powerpoint…at first, I was saying to myself "who is this guy?" because he was reading off of the slides…however they were designed so well (black background, white serif text, with some text in red, each slide numbered) that it worked…it worked really well! (I think it’s how Wittgenstein would use ppt!) McKenzie wrote A Hacker Manifesto. Even though I may not agree with everything he said, I reallly liked his writing style and the way he constructed and supported his arguments.
