\u00a0\u00a0“Helping dan get a ‘kick’ out of life” :<\/strong><\/p>\n

For this weeks exercise, I interviewed my suite mate Dan (non-fictional character). He mentioned that he really liked finding cool bass drum sounds for his music, so I created an IFTT recipe to help him find his ‘kick’. Every time a new top post is made in the \/r\/deephouse subreddit, a Facebook link post is made with Dan’s name tagged in it. So far, the app hasn’t been triggered, but that is most likely due to the reddit comment and post ranking algorithms. The ‘top’ algorithm is designed in such a way that a new top post doesn’t happen every five seconds. So, hopefully when the IFTT recipe is triggered, Dan will have caught his “fattest kick” yet(or at least been inspired by something from the subreddit!). At first, I was skeptical of the app IFTT, I didn’t feel like you could really go that in depth with the recipes. However, under further inspection I became quite interested in the things you could actually use this app for. I haven’t thought up any crucial recipes that I would use in my everyday life yet, but I’ll post if I think of any really interesting ones!<\/p>\n

Here’s the transcript from the interview!<\/p>\n

How do you use digital technologies to pursue interests\/relationships\/people?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI favor personal relations ships over digital ones, I try to stay away from social media as much as possible when regarding relationships, especially with Facebook. I don\u2019t like to over do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

How do you feel about the various platforms you use? What are your favorites? Why?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c I tend to gravitate towards Twitter and Facebook. I like both, but prefer Twitter. Twitter is just a mindless constant feed, that you can just free ball and have fun with. It\u2019s interesting to see what people are up to.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are your biggest interests?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cKick drums! hahaha and music.\u201d<\/p>\n

How can the internet help you with your interests?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe internet makes finding samples for music\/kick drums so much easier. Also you can find a bunch of software plugins online for DAW programs like Logic. I also enjoy hearing other peoples samples and getting inspired to create something of my own.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you could, how would you use these tools differently?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI would really like to be able to musically collaborate with someone. By musically collaborate, I mean like\u2026real time, that would be neat.\u201d<\/p>\n
