My thoughts: Hypertext

I still don't much differences between a hypertext and a webtext. I just paid attention what was I suppose to have acomplished.

Using Webs.com was easy from me since I had played around with it before. I knew how the site worked and how to make a site. I spent the majority of my time in class working on the site. I organized my enthography into pages, noted on what mutimedia features would work well on each page, and link what to what.

I'm sorry to say I didn't get sound incorporated into the site due the fact Webs.com doesn't make that feature easy. I did put videos and animations along with pictures serving as links. I wanted to put up the footage I got from the con but due to technical problems on that end I wasn't able to get the footage properly edited.

It was certainly more fun to make a hypertext than write a paper but without writting a paper there would be no hypertext. Oh well, I still had fun.

My thoughts: Ethnography

I can see why this paper had a shorter time period to write since it was not that hard to write. Since the main source of information was my experience the Anime culture all I had to do was to anazlye the actions around me.

My friends and I have planned the trip to the anime con since mid last semseter. Of course I din't think it would become a research trip. I thought to keep my friends out of the loop so they would act naturally and wouldn't accidently tell anyone else.

Though I also had a lot of fun during the con, I was regreting the outside research. It seemed the research material was ethier biased towards the culture or against the culture. One of the sources saw the culture as an embrassment towards the japenese culture. Saying that american fans were way to obbessed.

My other source saw it as normal occurance. Saying it was just a past time and a love of animation.

My observations made me realize that even though it looks nutsy its just having a good time with others.

The paper wasn't very hard to write but I wish I knew what I got on it.
