First post: Profile

What up?! My name is Danny Mulvihill. If you're reading this we're probably in DTC 475 together. So the basics: I'm 26, live in Vancouver (until Oct 1st, then Portland, yay!), work lots, DTC major, music is the breath of my spirit and I use air for my physical needs.

So what's this class gonna be about? If I had to guess I would say diversity in the digital realm. Okay, I'll elaborate a bit. I expect that we will further delve into a lot of the ideas discussed in Dr. Grigar's DTC 375 class I took over the summer. Basically a brief historical overview of how we got to where we are within the digital age. I'm sure we'll talk about different mediums and how they have certain advantages as well as limitations in expressing particular ideas. And just to snag a snippet from the syllabus: "...we will examine the ways in which elements of cyberculture both reflect and impact larger cultural issues and concerns."
