Niki: Google Search
Here’s a copy of the Niki I wrote for Google Search from the perspective of the Dark Internet: The Dark Internet “Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes.” Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy …
Un-Symposium: numero seis
Q: How does hypertext relate to storytelling in different media formats? The reply began with Elliott, who cited the unsuccessful example of hypertext being used in conjunction with YouTube‘s video format, in order to make the point that not all…
The cost of education
So yesterday was an interesting day. First off, I got a message from a friend saying that I’ll be sitting on the same table as Kirstie Clements, former editor-in-chief of Vogue Australia, at the St Catherine’s Old Girls’ Association event…
