What is Multimedia?

Araman's Net User Note: I’m currently accessing the internet through the Register at Myers. (Getting alot of queer looks.)

The term covers a wide diversity of different published content. Multimedia is here to inform and entertain while always changing. In fact, it's never stagnant. It is the result, the creation of man, that combines different elements of audio and visual design that may include (although not necessarily) 3D aspects and forms of interactivity. Regardless of form, whether it be Animation, Web Content etc., Multimedia is designed to always influence the observer.

That's my understanding.

Nuclear Microwaves, Hemp Cardigans & Celebrity Shaped Cereal pieces.


Araman's Net User Note: Managed to get the net up and working on one of the Monitors at the Bowling Alley. (Handed lady's Laptop back.)

In an odd case of Shoppers addiction, I purchased a CD last night. The CD is a limited edition version of a score for a movie. Which movie? This one. I bought the Score off eBay for $AU17.50 which is $AU18.00 cheaper than the same CD that they're selling on Amazon.com. I just love eBay. It's such an efficient, secure and clever way of shopping. And now that I have finally got everything prepared to use it, (eg. My own Netbank and Post Office Box) I'm inexorably going to start using it much, much more. eBay, that's multimedia. Right? (I'm still trying to work it out.)

I'm also in the market for nuclear microwaves, smokable hemp Cardigans, celebrity shaped Cereal pieces, fluffy boxing gloves, Syrian hand-railings, two-way "image distortion" mirrors, a flea circus and a lamp shade made from the hide of a buffalo. *NOTE: If anyone finds a good auction on one, or all of these products. Leave me a comment. Enlighten me.

 

The 27th of the 2nd IN THE YEAR 2006.

Araman's Net User note: I’ve hacked into the network of the local Solicitors. (Still using the lady’s laptop from the park.)

When one is in a state of delirium there is a number of things people tend to do. Some slur their words, most mumble. Some journey without purpose. Some stick unfamiliar objects in their mouths. Everyone dribbles. Toes are stubbed inadvertently. A state of humble content is never achieved. For me, I ‘prowl’ the net. Give me a search engine and a single word - (Technology) and I’m off!

The time passes me by in the form of a lonely vagabond, wearing soft-soled shoes or nothing at all. And walks by. Silently behind me, letting me be. Many hours go by, many hours – This is my state of delirium.

Viewing “The New York Times” website under things related to technology I found an Article on “Black Berry’.” A modern technological device that’s purpose and function still eludes me. I clicked on it, hoping to be enlightened but my mind drifted someway down the article. Perhaps you will have better luck. I kept going clicking here, then here and on this. Who'd you vote for? (I guess many of you wouldn't know. Seeing that most who view this site will probably be Australasian.)

Thats the funny thing about it though. I'm not American, I just like Polls. The internet has given a voice to the normally voiceless. (Including me Yes.) So that being so. Who'd you vote for?

THE 26th of the 2ND IN THE YEAR 2006.


Araman's Net User Note:
I'm currently accessing the net from a laptop I stole from a lady sitting on a parkbench. (There was a small struggle. But I'm ok.)

I'm lucky. Theres no doubt about that. My first concept on Multimedia has developed through the continual hopping from workstation to workstation based upon the Generosity of others. From Dingy apartments, cafe's, terrace houses, bookstores, villa's, primary school's, telemarketer office stations, preschools and cash registers - I've familirased myself with the net, and the term Multimedia.

“Well…Yes.” These are two words I find myself saying often. These two small words take less than a heart beat of energy to pronounce. Together, they form an awfully short response, that typically most people would consider to carry very little weight of thought and implication of emotional level, but this is untrue. The question that this reply usually correlates too is “So, your a bum? A homeless person?”

But in fact, my response, although only amounting to two separate words, come together after a long process of thought. Initially, I wanted to address this blunt inquiry with a direct aggressiveness. But no. To harsh on the Questioner. I then thought maybe it would be best to answer this subtly – but the art of being subtle takes time – it’s a long and delicate process of carefully selected words on a rickety train of thought. But noting that my questioner, having now been waiting for a response for over 20 seconds (which is an exceptionally long pause in a conversation,) has now lost interest in you, and in his/her question – you simply answer: “Well…Yes.”


Tonight, I was aggravated by this memory, when it came to me while I was sitting here on the sidewalk “prowling the web,” wirelessly from the Woman's laptop while sipping on some Scotch. Why? Because it was just one of the many thousands of situations that I’ve encountered, where I look back and feel the urge to hurt myself for acting the way I did, or saying the things I did, as in this case. (Usually, I would hurt myself by pulling the teeth from my gums, but alas...I have none. I removed them all years ago for a Centrelink entitlement.)

What’s typical of me, Is that I still don’t understand Course Codes and all the hoo-ha. I had my second class of MPI104 today, sitting in the Theatrette – occasionally losing my concentration to story ideas and concepts, and contemplating the ingredients in my next sandwich. I took to looking at my fellow Multimedia students. I'm doing my best to keep a neutral opinion.
