Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.
- Swami Vivekananda
Today's lecture was given not by Dr. V, but by the 2nd GUEST SPEAKER(s)! *Rhema Linder and Nick Lupfer are Computer Science Ph.D. students and members of the Interface Ecology Lab at Texas A&M University. Rhema and Nick are here to present ideaMâché, a web-based tool for collecting and organizing information.* (taken from the powerpoint)
IdeaMÂCHÉ: curate prior work holistically with a mâché of rich bookmarks
This idea seems fun to work with! At first it looked very daunting and all of the different names for things was confusing...
After Rhema and Nick sorted through some things, it looks easier to work with. Before the presentation on Thursday I was lost and had no idea of how I was going to use ideamache for this upcoming project. The developers were really helpful and made the use of it a lot easier than what I experienced when I first tried using it. I like how this class is sort of like a guinea pig testing it!! Overall, I like how the presenters explained this project and I look forward to using it! I already have a few ideas in mind ^_^
