A Utah native back from college in Boston, I am happy among my mountains and enjoy hiking, skiing, sewing, and dancing when not in studio, where I am regarded as a semipermanent fixture. I will return with Patricia to Argentina in April, to be her counterpart in the UNL-Utah exchange. I am a novice computer user, discovering both the freedoms and the frustrations of technology. UTAH Our attempt to communicate the essence of Buffalo Point on Antelope Island introduced us to the potential and the frustrations of web-based communication. Things we could never before have done are now possible, while the procedures we once took for granted now pose unforseen obstacles.
Patience is a little harder to come by in the computer's fast-paced world.
We found CP4's response to the Buffalo Point site to be evocative and dynamic, but perhaps too much so to serve as a place for helping an individual to appreciate an environment as subtle as Antelope Island. The fossil form is probably too literal to be an effective metaphor, and the motivation behind invoking this metaphor must be examined. Nonetheless, the presentation was effective on both informative and evocative fronts, and we particularly appreciated the use of prose to add a narrative dimension.
