Final Assignment

I'm having issues with my final assignment. I cannot add a flickr badge to my wedding website. I've made a substitution by adding a link to this site. I could add a Kodak Gallery site, but it's not as interactive. Let's see how the sound project goes.

Flickr

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Good wedding website

Check out the map I've made: http://www.weddingmapper.com/map/0zud28
That way there will not have to be the extra bits of paper in the invitation. ;)
Technology is good!

Podcast #1

Here is my first podcast...check it out!

Folksonomy and the human touch

I find it interesting that folksonomy adds a social aspect to organize the web, and it helps with the human touch. I am convinced that people like to act on the recommendation of others, and this just increases our number of sources. On the other hand, sometimes the descriptions could be vague/inaccurate or just not classified in a way that would suite the individual. Although you can't please all of the people all of the time, after all some people don't approve of the Dewey decimal system.

A bit off the subject, but a good example of how far technology has come. Look at what Japan can do with cell phones now. Here is a little something about how dangerous computers can be. So as with anything in life, you take the good with the bad. That is as long as the good outweighs the bad.

The Second Class

First off...the fun stuff. I've only gotten to go snowboarding two times this whole winter!! This was one of those times. I'm on the right. ;)

Second, I'm realizing now how little I know about what this thing called the Internet can do for me. I'm learning about RSS, aggregators, and all kinds of crazy terminology that I just did not know before January. I'm even trying to explain it to my friends....we're supposed to be the start of the generation that somewhat understands this technology. I'm just now learning that I can sort the news to the extent that I could only read Asian newspapers everyday for the rest of my life and I would be totally content. (Speaking of...here is my favorite paper)

I have also learned that blogging is supposed to be super interactive, so I have to learn how to do more fun stuff here.

It's only class three this weekend, so I have lots more time to learn.

First Web II Class

Well...here I am taking another web design class. This seems very interesting to me since I have attended several teaching with technology conferences. This class will give me a better understanding of what I have been observing. So here we go..
