At the beginning of this class, Rab showed us how to use Google Reader and Feedly. We added everyone's blog from Stream 1A to our accounts and them sync them to Feedly. I also installed the Feedly app on my iPhone so that I can check out everybody's blog at anytime. Each time it makes me wonder if Google has any limits for its facilities because every feature that it has is just so overwhelming. The company even needed to make itself less convenient in order to be more profitable. How ironical. Next, he showed us the optical illusion test video of a women spinning. I had the weirdest experience of seeing a sudden change in the women's direction without any control in my head. Adding to it, here's another video that I found on youtube that tests you whether you're a left brain dominant or a right brain dominant, so try it out! After that, we searched through Google images to look for stereo grams, which was like the biggest struggle that I faced in the last few weeks. To tell the truth, I never figured out any of them. Despite Rab and Masamune's huge support, I wasn't able to solve any of them. I guess I'll need some more practice on being more creative, and being able to think in more three-dimensional. Then he showed the Mother of All Funk Chords video and the Angels on the moon thriving ivory video as a metaphor to demonstrate how our writings should be. In order to achieve a good piece of writing, we must choose the first-class information and mash them together and make them smooth, he said. I would like to keep this in mind and reflect it in my upcoming essays.
Rab's classes are always filled with new experience, knowledge and enlightenment. I wonder what will come next!
