Prototyping
What's up
During the last couple of months I have not been participating as much in the prototyping classes as I could have. As I mentioned during the previous assessment I deliberately chose to involve myself less in coding and focus more on my principal interests. As a result I have developed more projects during the last trimester than before. Surprisingly, I actually managed to teach myself some new network skills as well, such as building websites with wordpress. I believe working with given objects works very well to me. Tweaking them in such ways that I can do something with them works better for me than working from scratch. I feel that I managed to maintain my sanity by taking some distance from the actual coding classes and plan to continue doing so.

Additional Info
Thematic
General
This thematic project was focussed more on self-directed research than the last one. Even though this could have been the product of fewer lessons, the project also allowed for more research and the development of individual thought. Which I liked more. Practical workshops like the ones given by Stock have unfortunately proven to not be to my taste at all...
