I thank you all for an inspiring first class and also would like to apologize to Samantha and Greg for not getting a chance to discuss their work. I hope that the two of you might briefly prepare yourselves to discuss at the beginning of class on February 10th. http://www.archive.org/details/communications_primer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2cmlhfdxuY

In addition, I feel the need to further clarify some of the expectations the design project. As we seem to have quickly concluded in the first 1/2 hour of class, coming up with a succinct definition for design is not an easy task. I think that we all will have different parameters of distinction regarding this matter. I propose this course as an opportunity to expand and share those ideas and potentials with each other. I have made a small amendment to the design objectives part of the semester's design project that is **due**: **feb 17**, please refer to the **design project** page for a definition of weekly project expectations.
