Fake Album Roulette

I recently found out a fun little game, with surprisingly realist results. Here are the rules:



‎1 - Go to IMDB and search for your favorite comedy. any part of the 5th memorable quote is the name of your band.

2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit Random Quote. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture ...no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photobucket.com or picnik.com to put it all together.

5 - Post it with this text in the "caption



I have created three already, and here is the first:

385 Final Portfolio

Chris Wootton 385 Final Portfolio Project Introduction This project is to explore and create a piece of software focused on fun. This video game is made in the Unity Game Development engine in order to rapidly iterate new ideas for testing. The game, titled "Be The Ball" centers around directly controlling a bouncy ball into target areas. I was directly i nspired by arcade skeeball, the popular video game  "Marble Madness", and direct feedback from my own children on what physical toys they like to play with most. First Iteration Video Demo: It was a bit of a challenge learning unity from scratch, but over time I would learn more and more techniques for getting the game to behave the way I intended. Physical Prototype Revisions and additions (the orange pad is extra bouncy!) were made. Contextual Inquiry A big part of my design was fine-tuning the physics elements of gravity, bounciness, and top speed of the ball...

Crowdsourcing Primer

After reading a bit about crowdsourcing, I expect any task I find will be something that is difficult or imprecise if left to an algorithm or program, but is doable for people. It could be some subjective analysis as well, such as opinions on what looks or sounds good. One thing that may be difficult is to game-ify the task to keep it interesting and attract more participants, because effective incentives are always tricky to master. For this exercise, I partook in the Galaxy Zoo Project on zooinverse. In this task, I was given a photo of a galaxy and given several very specific questions regarding the shape and features of the galaxy. This was not difficult at all, and I am certain my 7 year old son could recognize and complete this task just as easily. I initially thought it might be more difficult, but it seems this is a task that people are good at but for computers it is difficult to discern the subtleties in images. This task was for  research in cataloging galaxies and di...
