Assignment: Post #1, Introduction
Hey guys! My name is Sam Lindsey. I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico and I'm studying Computer Science (with a minor in EDP). The reason I was interested in EDP is because I'd like to consider myself a digital artist but have never really had much experience with the tools used to create digital art. I've always been more of a hand on drawing and painting sort of person, but have always aspired to learn the digital arts.
I love the way one of my friends put it when he said he "loves to consume media". That's my personal link to EDP. I love watching TV shows, my all time favorite would have to be Breaking Bad. I also really enjoy going to the movies. The Mayan Theater here in town is one of my favorites. Additionally, I spend a lot of my free time playing video games. I will forever be a Nintendo fanboy at heart because of the quality and craftsmanship of the games they create, but also enjoy the industry as a whole. Another thing that I love about Nintendo would be their ability to create experiences that can be shared. Enjoying media with others has always been especially fun for me, growing up in a family that watched movies on the weekends, and discussed what we thought of them after the fact. I've always really enjoyed the group experience.
I would like to learn more about how technology has shaped how we communicate, and function as a society and what that means going forward. Also, if I could learn how to go about discussing these things with others, that would be awesome!

Thanks for you introduction, Sam, and nice to meet you here! It might be very fascinating to explore the ways in which the media we consume now jump across platforms in ways that old forms of media did not. Even a show like "Breaking Bad" extends into media well beyond its existence as a TV show in the form of games, action figures, clothing, and fan-based social media. Also, super-glad to hear the Mayan is a favorite theater! I love it and Sei theater as well.
