Friday -- work for the weekend

The reading for the weekend is the following

“Translating the Language of Music” by Steven Davy

http://www.exploringconversations.com/ 

Note – this series of audio files might seem kind of random when you first access it. It doesn't actively have anything to do with technology.  But I assigned it for a couple of reasons:  

Because it relates to my interest in technology and community related to music, and I thought that I might talk about this a little in the hope of helping you all to find project ideas
Because it’s an example of a audio essay (which is one of the options for your final research project)
Because while we often think of technology as “digital,” I think it’s interesting to think about technologies that are non-digital and their intersection with digital technologies.  Music is a great place for that conversation.  So be patient and have a listen, eh?

other work

Keep up with your discussion posts!
Work to start putting notes into your lab notes
Create your first weekly "proof-of-learning" report (remember we'll be discussing this genre in more detail after I make comments on everyone's blogs - so don't be too worried about "how to do it."
Start thinking about some aspect if identity/technology/community that you might want to research further
