Entry #10

This week, I really enjoyed the continued conversation on the commons. It’s kind of unrelated to online/technological commons, but when I was in the airport on Thursday, I thought about the “commons” of Starbucks online order pickups. They legitimately leave out all the coffee and food, and you just come and take the one with your name on it. I have never once had my online order picked up from Starbucks. I asked my coffee/Starbies-obsessed teammate that I was with, and she also said she never had anything stolen. People are killing each other all over the place, yet there is enough respect for the commons of Starbucks mobile orders that nobody (not regularly or often) steals orders. That is crazy to me.

I enjoyed playing the games for class on Tuesday. I enjoyed hearing my group mates’ perspectives on “Eleanor.” I found it a bit odd and struggled to see how it made an intervention or remix. It just seemed like unrelated things piled together. I wish there was more info about each piece of art on the page because, as someone who knows nothing about art, I did not understand the juxtaposition/importance of artwork.

To be completely honest, I am super behind on my remix. I have had so many other papers and projects. It feels like all my classes were pretty chill until Spring Break, and now every teacher has assigned so many things. I am drowning in work! But I am really excited to get more work done on this project tomorrow and Sunday once my team gets back from Chicago!
