Very cool thing a customer sent me. Got my Star Wars: Rebels poster signed by voice actors from the show at ICC CON. Just needs Freddie Prinze Jr to complete the whole Ghost crew. Cool stuff!

Poster now available in my shop along with many other Star Wars prints.

Well of course that would be interesting, wouldn't it? The only thing is, if they went into it deeper in the movies, [Palpatine] would have to be played by a younger actor. You know, and that's a good idea, I think. Maybe one day they'll do that. And it would be very interesting to know what he was like when he was really young as opposed to when he was my age when I did the [The Phantom Menace], which was sort of [his] early fifties.  It would be interesting to go back a little further and see his, I suppose  we have to admit, murder of Darth Plagueis. Yeah that would be interesting. But it would be another actor. I know they're re-facing people these days and making them look younger, so I suppose it's not beyond the bounds of possibility. But it would be more interesting for another actor to get the opportunity to start that story.

I had one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life last weekend meeting Ashley Eckstein. She's been an inspiration to me for quite a while, and she was extraordinarily kind to me and all the fans who came to see her at ICCC Nashville.

She takes so much time with each individual that they wait to see her for very long, but she makes it worth waiting. She stayed after closing to ensure that everyone who wanted to meet her had the chance to. This meant a lot to me as it was my first convention after trying many times to go to one. My mom and sisters were with me, and she asked for each of our names and spoke to each of us individually. She said she loved how Star Wars can bring families together.

I was able to tell her how much I appreciated what she has brought to the fandom, especially as a young girl growing up in a fandom that was not always friendly to them. I was happy just to talk to her, but she voluntarily gave me a hug and took a picture with me, and I will never, ever forget that kindness. It inspires me even more.

Brief #9 ICCC pt.2 prosess og resultat

The Guardian Angel er en skjerm som viser informasjon om nekrologoene som publiseres i avisen The Guardian. Den tar utgangspunkt i RSS-feeden, og oppdaterer seg fortløpende når det publiseres nye artikler. Det publiseres 2-4 artikler om dagen, typisk i kontortiden pluss noen timer.

Etter å ha sett på de ulike API-ene oppdaget vi at The Guardian har RSS-feeds for nesten alle sidene sine, selv om de ikke alltid er synlige. Vi syntes derfor det kunne være interessant å jobbe med nekrologene deres, og om disse kunne brukes på en ny måte.

Nekrologene forteller om personer som har gått bort, og hva slags liv de levde. Vi blir litt kjent med personen, og reflekterer kanskje over vårt eget liv og hva vi vil oppnå i den lille tiden vi har.

I Norge ser vi stort sett nekrologer i avisene, men i en del kristenortodokse land er det ikke uvanlig å se nekrologer på egne oppslagstavler eller vegger:

Vi begynte å lage en papirprototype, og fant ut at vi ønsket å gjøre noe mer ut av skjermen. Vi laget derfor skisser til en ramme som skal settes rundt skjermen, med hull der informasjonen kan skiftes ut.

Vi begynte deretter å lage siden som skal vises bak rammen. Den er forholdsvis enkelt utformet, og har noen elementer som posisjoneres med absolute-verdier i CSS:

(Av hensyn til vedkommendes etterlatte har jeg valgt å fjerne navn og bilde fra bildeeksemplene, ettersom Tumblr er en lett tilgjengelig side.)

Vi ser for oss at skjermen kan stå fremme i hjemmet, eller i offentlige rom der man samles, og oppfordre til diskusjon og ettertanke. Uttrykket i rammen er humoristisk, og forsøker å skape positiv vri på noe som ellers presenteres veldig tradisjonelt og alvorlig.

Hadde vi hatt mer tid til oppgaven skulle vi gjerne ha utforsket hva som skjer dersom saker kommer rett etter hverandre, eller om det går lenge mellom hver dag. Samtidig er det et uløst problem at ikke alle nekrologer egner seg for dette formatet, for eksempel dersom dødsfallet skjer under tragiske omstendigheter.
