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!

kindle-swindle

I don't think that it's right for kindle to offer the product with the intention of "new and improved multimedia", if they aren't compensating those with the audio rights.  The entire point of a 'book on tape', at least from a business standpoint, is to sell the rights to listen that piece of audio.  Kindle is getting away with a little more than it should, but it's really not a big deal, because it's in the spot light already, and as the link mentions, apps already exist in which your mobile device will narrate for you.  Sounds like a slap on the wrist for kindle, and the life-line beeping of the books on audio industry.. 

Copyright issues: it goes on!

Mr. Fairey's creative picture surely does violate copyright infringement in my opinion.  I mean sure he invested time and artistic ability in the picture, but the implications of the photograph itself speak much deeper.  Not just anyone can take a picture of the presidential elect in that distance range, with a high quality camera, and probably a licensee to photograph and distribute.  


What Fairey did to that photograph was so simple that I'm sure a computer wizz could recreate it with a free-licensed, run of the line photo editing software program.  I don't think his work constitutes fair use, however there is no doubt in my mind that it got President Obama elected into office by some token.  I mean every window in every dorm had this picture facing outward!  I don't know if there's such a thing as a legal exception, but I'm sure this one would qualify!?

Maybe Mannie Garcia didn't mind?  

Here is my sister Genevieve..  She's running for student council something, maybe this will get her elected?  I took the photo to begin with, so no legal fees to come.
