So when I started this blog I made a generic entry which outlines my media use throughout the day. This is kind of handy, because it means that for the most part I can focus in on particular activities and try to be reflective and relevant to my course materials. Fun fun. But now and then I catch myself using media in different ways, and by the time I'm going to write a blog entry I've forgotten some of it.
Clearly, I need to get a little notepad or something and carry it with me for a few days so I can jot things down as I go. That way I can watch for trends, as well as remember neat little things that will make for a good blog entry. I'm toying with the idea of doing this through "Twitter" - I hardly EVER send texts, and I'm sure I have a number of "free" ones included in my cell phone plan. (And I think you can update them directly on the site, too.) Since lots of people are starting to do this it could be an interesting experiment. Look for some "twitter" updates here over the next week or so, between my normal blog entries.
For a while I've been thinking about the digital media fast that Danna Walker got her students to do in "The Longest Day". It would be interesting to do this - a few times I've all but decided to go for it. There are lots of things that I could cut out for a day or two, to see how I feel. I could go for walks without my mp3 player; I could write long-hand and read textbooks (and, y'know, normal books) instead of use the computer.
