I’m very excited for this course. I had mixed feelings coming into it because even though this course has been recommended to me multiple times, I was nervous to do a digital course online. After reading over the syllabus a couple of times I believe everything is pretty straightforward. I’m hoping by next week I’ll have a set schedule to stay on top of my assignments and get them done in time.

I got all of my accounts set up and running. Mastodon actually ended up being the hardest to set up because it was giving me trouble. It kept asking me to reset my password over and over again which was weird, but I figured it out with help from a friend the next day. It was pretty easy to set up my new subdomain but it’s a bit different than navigating other sites I’ve created in past classes so I have to acquaint myself with it again.

I really enjoyed rewatching “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” for my film review this week. I haven’t watched it since I was very young, but it was interesting watching it again while trying to analyze its connections to tech noir. I chose the film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” because it isn’t a film typically seen as “tech noir”, so I did find it difficult to connect the two. I wasn’t fully aware of what the term “tech noir” was and at first it was hard to grasp what the definition of it was just because it seems very broad and that there are multiple different definitions circulating. I feel I have a pretty good understanding of what “tech noir” is, at least better than I did at the start of this week.

I’m really looking forward to customizing my blog page next week and starting the daily creates!
