My recent experiences

The experiences that I pursued in this activity were somewhat valuable. I thought that the video I watched from youtube of the speech given by Nicholas Negroponte (that's a mouthful) was very fascinating and I was not one bit surprised to hear what I heard, since technology is growing so rapidly and more and more great inventions are coming out every year. I was glad to hear that technology is being invented for young children because young children are the key to a successful future for the world. I also read the blog about electric cars coming out in the future and left a comment and also commented on another guy's blog who was sick. Here are the links:

What the fudge will I do to contribute to the cityblog?

This city blog thing is something we are doing for our Electronic Communication course, led by Doc Mara and I am very interested to see how it is going to turn out in the long run. I think that the part that I will take in creating this blog will be something that has to do with photographs and pictures, particularly photoshop or something along those lines. I believe that I would be a good candidate for this particular position regarding creating and adding elements to this city blog because over the years I have developed a passion for photography after I got a digital camera for my birthday the year that I turned 14 and I have been playing around and monkeying with it ever since. My favorite thing do do with pictures is to crop them (meaning to edit out the extra backround and other things in the picture and to zero in on the center part.

I think that I will be able to handle time constraints and responsibilites by checking blackboard very frequently and make sure that I am keeping up with everything that is expected of me. I will not hesitate to e-mail Doc Mara and ask him to help me out when I am unclear of the intstructions or simply just do not know what the heck is going on with the world. Did I mention that I really like Doc Mara because he has been very helpful so far this semester and has been very more than willingly gone out of his way to help me because I’m kind of knew and brainless when it comes to certain technological issues and aspects of technology? Well anyways, back to the main point before I sidetrack too far. I plan to be really on top of my game and to listen to instructions regarding what my responsibilities are in order to stay on top of things and so that everybody likes me as opposed to everyone truly hating my guts. And how is this possible knowing me, do you ask? Well the answer is actually really simple. I wil deal with time constraints by doing a little bit of work at a time here and there and keeping a schedule of what work I did, when and where so that I can stay ahead of myself and not fall behind.
