Digital Native/Immigrant

Actually, I'd consider myself to be a digital immigant because I did't really get into computers until I was in high school. I do remember trying to download some music to burn a cd on my friends computer and he had to show me how to save the files to specific paths (C:drive for example) and how to navigate the file folders. It was then that I realized I'd never really done anything on a computer besides the internet and wrod processing programs.

Upon thinking about it I do remember playing video games with a friends of mine who did'nt play nearly as much as I did and being extremely frsutrated watching them try the same move over and over agian and never really seeming to get any better at it in which case I would grab tee controller and do it in two seconds and then tell them they sucked.

My Technologies

A list of imoprtant technologies to me and why.

Maya animation software-this is my carreer and passion
Photoshop-used along with maya
After effects-used for special effects
Final Cut Pro-editing
X Box-I've loved games since I was five (I'm really a Playstation Guy but they cost too much)
My keyboard-I can play piano just about anywhere
iPod-who doesn't like music on demand
Pandora.com-Helps me get through long days at work and shows me new artists

These are the current technologies that are very important to. When I was younger, however, I didn't use much technology at all. I didn't watch too much T.V. I dind't have a walkman or game console or computer. I spent most time outside riding my bike or walking in the desert behind my house. My technology use spiked when I entered college and decided to become and animator. I also finally had my own source of income to buy myself toys.

Discourse Community

I belong to the wonderful discourse community of the (dungeon) Animation Lab. It could be described as gendered. Actually you could easily describe it as a big ol sausage fest! It's not that we don't allow women or discourage them from joining our little group. It's more that women are either not interested in that geeky kind of stuff or that we frighten them off. In any case, that just means more free computers fro me to render on! Mwa ha ha ah!!!!!!
