I’ve yet to find a consistent place to record ideas for my projects, thesis, and throwaway stuff.  I’m not even sure if this will be that place, but hopefully the combination of accountability and publicity will be good motivation to keep it up.  To start, I’ll share a couple ideas for topics I’d like to explore this quarter and through the winter in order to complete my thesis for the Digital Media Studies program.

• Depersonalization of US military conflict and the corresponding changes in military recruiting through digital and interactive media
• Gender identification in videogames (would obviously need some focus/refinement)
• Acoustic media schemas applied cross-medially in multimedia objects (videogames or others…)

Unfortunately, I’m not dedicating a lot of time to thesis research right now, but that needs to change FAST.  In other news, I’m taking an independent study with Prof. Timothy Weaver that is ambiguously centered on hacking Wii remotes.  This will probably change, but right now I’m working on reviving my audio project from last year: a live scoring of Metroid gameplay footage using distorted game sounds, triggered by the Wii remote.
