Duarte Design

The paperwork has been finalized and just needs to be faxed in the morning for the research internship. I'm interested in this project not because of the pay (low), but because of the people involved in the project. I'm going to be tracking down some research in the tech comm / business comm world dealing with professional presentations, etc. I'm familiar with some of this research but an update and review is always a good thing. Also, I feel like my professional presentations are above average because I'm comfortable with public speaking, but of course this doesn't mean what I'm saying is making sense to the audience and I'm always looking to improve. This work will hopefully push me in that direction.

In other news I'm still working on ideas for fcode. More on that to come in later posts.

And, I've returned with motivation toward the augmented reality stuff because of a successful presentation at Computers and Writing this year. My love and interest for this technology is like having a crush on the girl who you know is trouble but you simply can't run away. Ahhhh, the siren that is technology.

One more thing--I've got a lunch set up with a friend of mine from Mindflash. Love brainstorming with this guy and hopefully he and I can grab lunch more often and get fcode going.

Been listening to Pure Cult: The Singles from 84-95 this morning. Not great.
