I helped write the usability report including the evaluation of our product based on what the participants had to say. I commented and edited other group member's work as well for the report. I also completed my peer evaluation once all the work was done.</p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/1033#comments Wed, 06 May 2009 19:59:42 +0000 obrown 1033 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Kings Documentation Individual Blog 3 http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/934 <p>This week I am going to help edit the documentation based on&nbsp;my classmates' comments and the comments from our participants whom performed the usability test.

Hopefully We can have everything complete before the start of finals.</p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/934#comments Mon, 27 Apr 2009 19:52:50 +0000 obrown 934 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Kings Documentation Individual Blog http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/917 <p><a href="http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/917" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/917#comments Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:12:47 +0000 obrown 917 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Kings Documentation Individual Blog 1 http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/846 <p>Last week our group met to discuss and type the proposal. We also decided on our schedule for the following weeks ahead. I provided some input on the steps for the game of Kings and I tested some of the steps during our meeting as well. For this week I will contribute to the storyboard and the overall presentation for Wednesday.</p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/846#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:17:15 +0000 obrown 846 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Online Gaming Group - Individual Blog 4 http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/747 <p><a href="http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/747" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/747#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:02:20 +0000 obrown 747 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Online Gaming Group - Individual Blog 3 http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/650 <p>Last Week I concluded my research on the health benefits of using the Nintendo Wii. I began to write my part of the white paper during Spring Break. I would like to be done with my part by Monday's classtime next week. Our group plans to meet before the deadline after spring break to compile the paper.</p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/650#comments Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:19:00 +0000 obrown 650 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Online Gaming Group - Individual Blog 2 http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/583 <p>This week I did individual research on my topic. Since Nintendo Wii is a recent gaming system in the market, I was able to find current information on the health benefits of the system&nbsp;from actual numerical values of calories burn to the physical and mental explanations given by experts. For this upcoming week I will conclude my research to write a rough draft of my section for the report which I will complete before the start of spring break.</p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/583#comments Mon, 09 Mar 2009 01:06:41 +0000 obrown 583 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Online Gaming Group - Individual Blog 1 http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/521 <p>This week our group switched our focus to making a game for Nintendo Wii that would compete with role-playing games. I provided some input for the memo&nbsp;involving the&nbsp;health risks with continuous online gaming. For our scope of work, I volunteered to research the health benefits of Nintendo Wii versus sitting in front of a computer screen playing games all day. Despite class being cancelled Monday, our group decided to meet at 3:30 to research.<p><a href="http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/521" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/521#comments Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:18:36 +0000 obrown 521 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Topic Proposal: Facebook's Privacy Issues of Unwanted Viewers http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/441 <p>While Facebook has become increasingly popular as a online social network, it also welcomes the chance of privacy being invaded. Your personal information can easily be accessible&nbsp; to anybody even if one does not know. Despite the privacy settings, personal information about one's self or everyday life can be revealed in other ways. This flaw can introduce gossip or a Facebook "stalker" trying to know everything about&nbsp;you. Even&nbsp;faculty members&nbsp;of schools or&nbsp;employers can view your personal information if the user is not careful.<p><a href="http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/441" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/441#comments Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:45:12 +0000 obrown 441 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1 Work Experience Description http://www.digitalparlor.org/sp09/kerns1/node/358 <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">I was collaborating new ideas with senior engineers on new and existing projects to make certain the customer&rsquo;s demands were met.
