last post. what i got

* Where did you begin in this journey into Web 2.0?
* What kinds of ah-ha's, OH NO's, oh-my's, and eureka's! did you experience?
* Where are you now as a techno-learner? What did you learn about yourself as a learner?
* What do you see in your future, for instance, your next class, your career goals, your next skill?
* What you want to learn more of, what you hope never to have to do again?
* Last chance to get it all out.

I didn't start with much knowledge in this subject. I mean don't get me wrong I was facing in the right direction but I must admit I have totally under utilized the web and multimedia thus far. I see way more use in the multimedia realm in my days to come because I have plans to market and sell things via internet. I've learned enough in this course, and in conjunction with my business related courses to propel myself into wealth! I'd really like to grant myself a little more patience for the web however. Sometimes I find that I give up easily in this area if it doesn't stimulate my interest right on cue. I must admit, I HOPE TO NEVER open as many online accounts for various websites in a 4 month duration as I did in this course. However I see the good in all of them. lol

I really did enjoy this class, and Prof. Brooks has done such a nice job of making the course friendly and at time hilarious. Good luck to everyone, I hope you find your way in this life.

Week 1 blog: Whoops =x

Well I had definitely planned to learn about effective social networking, and I got a decent dose of that!! I have had an obligatory participation in social networks as a teenager so it isn't completely foreign to me.. however I had certainly been developing a disinterest for social networking. this class put me back on that track with a mild appreciation for it as well. And so this semester has been my first interaction with blogging.. I completely appreciate it. I had always known about blogs but I get why people utilize them now. What a great way to put your opinions out there! And in return, people will comment, and you can further your opinions on the matter from there.. I just see it as totally useful now. I've gathered quite a bit about the net from this course.

facebook vs. fortune 500

I'm not entirely proud to be considered the facebook generation, but maybe that will change one day...

Gary Hamel brings up some really interesting points about the social "DNA" of generation F. It makes me wonder exactly how profound an effect this facebook movement will have on the human conscience ? over time, could this social dependence translate, genetically?


it was an alright read!

Longggggg Trail

I can completely relate to this blog because I rarely find myself participating in things that are "mainstream". With maybe the exception of The Office!

Particularly in the music realm, I like what Michael Robertson of MP3.com had accomplished with his website. By singling out artists and directing their tracks to the listener, a new age of music has been born. I can relate to this because as a small time recording artist I don't have a record label or someone to mainline me! It is pioneers like Michael Robertson that bring the talent out from the shadows.

A lot of highly qualified musicians are out there, completely unknown because they aren't marketed by some label, and don't specialize in marketing for themselves.

I could go on! The way that the internet and search options are bringing new things to the surface is really changing the way I find new interests and manifest my new experiences.. Heck, it has already greatly diversified my itunes!!!

Small Tour ...

Well, I got pretty wet when filming and had to stop. Pretty lame video but it's all I could manage with such a shifty internet connection. I don't expect comments, hopefully if anything else it was worth a small laugh..

I tried to jump back over the dam and fell in... saved the camera though.. lol

DOH!

First Vlog!

So here is my first ever, howto vlog.  I go over some really basic pointers for safely using a pressure cooker.  Sorry about the duration of the video, I wanted it to be shorter, but I thought it would in inconsiderate to skimp on anything since the process is potentially hazardous..  Judge me if you'd like!  Enjoy :)

"Ummmmm" hahahah

presentation magician

Through great visual-graphic representation he was able to exemplify what he was talking about.  I really enjoyed the graphs because it allows the viewer to understand exactly what he is trying to put across... 


It would probably be easier to model off of his presentation, he did a great job!
