http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/ A kaleidoscope contains designs of many colors, shapes and patterns. The designs are everchanging, sometimes intricate, and sometimes simple. To me, a kaleidoscope compares to life, sometimes intricate, sometimes simple and everchanging. Since my blog is part of my life and often reflects what is going on at the moment, i have deemed it kaleidoscope. Enjoy...Welcome to my world. en-us 2007-05-05T02:00:26-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/021101.html Among the many "lasts" I've been encountering, this is my last Media Lab portfolio. I finally got the hang of podcasting, I helped Val with a large, yet significant Setonian related task, and the information in my final presentation is... Lori Rupert 2007-05-05T02:00:26-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/021100.html It's been a positively rough year. Period. I expected to change but I didn't expect it to occur in the manner it did or with tasks and challenges that at one point seemsed unsurmountable. As I've overcome those challenges and... Lori Rupert 2007-05-05T00:21:37-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/021095.html I'm usually pleased with the outcome of my writing assignments and my projects; however, a handful of finished products truly stick out in my mind as things that I am particularly proud of. My website, Writing for the Setonian: How... Lori Rupert 2007-05-04T13:31:23-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/020998.html I am quite enthusiastic about the latest podcast for Media Lab. Before we discussed the assignment as a class, I had the idea brewing in my head of doing something related to the Virginia Tech Massacre. Rachel had the same... Lori Rupert 2007-04-27T01:06:30-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/020871.html Podcasting, although an enjoyable experience, I must say, has not been as technically pleasing to me as I would have hoped. Six weeks ago, when the first podcast was due, I couldn't get the files to upload from the recorder... Lori Rupert 2007-04-18T11:17:29-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/020698.html This issue of the Setonian seemed to fly by. I had been asked to write an article, which I successfully did this time, thank goodness there were no more complications. My other contributions were small, but extremely helpful and I... Lori Rupert 2007-04-09T23:38:55-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/020419.html This issue of the Setonian didn't vary too greatly from any other; there were a few changes: A center spread editor, and other little things, I'm sure, but for me, it was still an adventure. I don't think anything worked... Lori Rupert 2007-03-27T11:50:26-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/020066.html Each time I return home, I feel like a visitor. This has been a constant feeling, practically since I was a freshman; it's not a bad feeling..just an odd one, but regardless, this story isn't about that feeling, it's about... Lori Rupert 2007-03-07T23:32:26-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/019649.html Media Lab is more of a skill-building and team-work building class. The same concepts are introduced and involvement in the Setonian is encouraged. This semester, however, we are dabbling in something new: Podcasting. While my experiences with it will be... Lori Rupert 2007-02-19T22:38:33-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/019050.html Now that I am more familiar with what a podcast is, I finally understand the podcast tab on my itunes window; furthermore, I'm kind of excited that I have the ability to "subscribe" to podcasts. Before reading the text for... Lori Rupert 2007-01-31T00:15:44-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/018896.html The big, purple dinosaur. Everyone knows who I'm talking about right? Barney. Minnie Mouse is most commonly known to be with ? Again, the answer to this question is most likely one that has not required much thought. These comparisons... Lori Rupert 2007-01-27T22:43:11-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/017915.html Initially, my NMP entries were full of gripes and misunderstandings. From Interactive Fiction, which I have become ridiculously interested in, to Hammer, with a slew of software in between, my mind has been tested. My patience skills have been tested.... Lori Rupert 2006-12-12T13:59:24-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/017914.html As I, and several of my classmates, stated before, Hammer Editor was almost a treat as compared to the rest of the semester. It seemed that we all enjoyed our first experience with Hammer and the delightfulness that was generated... Lori Rupert 2006-12-12T13:58:08-05:00 http://blogs.setonhill.edu/LoriRupert/017869.html For our last project in EL405, we had the liberty to produce a project of any medium and subject matter. At this point, I was being bombarded by Interactive Fiction to the extent that I got ridiculously interested in it....

It was also a difficult task due to the fact that I was trying to fix something pretty... Lori Rupert 2006-12-06T23:49:01-05:00
