The girls on the porch
by Gretchen on October 23rd, 2008
It’s been a while since I’ve posted to this blog, and I bet no one checks it anymore considering my long absence. I have been working so much, there has been no extra time. Today Bryan and I are celebrating our fourth anniversary, so I am taking a little time off (for a few hours at least). I took some pics yesterday of the dogs on the porch to try out my new camera. It’s pretty awesome. The raw files it puts out are 20 MB a piece!

This video was sent to me by Alberto - who also has a love for video and stop motion. This will be the perfect example for my class when we begin discussing prototyping and demonstrating interactive tools.

Thesis…Summarizing the Work
by Gretchen on July 21st, 2008
Since graduating in May I have done quite a bit. Bryan and I prepared our house in Raleigh to go on the market, we went on a three week road trip that covered a good part of Interstate 40, The Grand Canyon, and Utah. Next we made a mad dash from Utah to Ohio to find a place to live. For three days we looked at houses, and we found one we loved.
We had only a few weeks to move out of our home in Raleigh and relocate in Kent. We arrived in Kent on July 1st and took possession of our new place. We’ve been unpacking, painting, and arranging furniture. There has been lots of coffee drinking. Now that we finally have a couch in our living room, and I have a place to work on my laptop, I can finally to DESIGN. I cherished my mental break from my thesis, but it’s time for re-visiting, re-thinking, summarizing, and starting over.
I start my position at Kent State in a little less than a month, so I must be ready to begin my research. I am posting the summary article of my thesis work which will be in the student publication for NC State. My friends and classmates Marty Lane, Rebecca Tegtmeyer, and Alberto Rigau have been curating, editing and designing the publication. I can’t wait to read the other articles submitted and to see their work. I will continue to post thesis related work, and on-going related projects.
