future advice

Stay awake! All assignments are due by midnight the night prior to class.

web evaluations

My favorite websites were Holly's (I'm not one for pink, but hers looked pretty professional), Jaime's because it was sweet, clear and concise, and Wayne's because he figured out how to turn the pictures into links.

Comments of mine on other blogs:

Natalie
Samantha
Juan

For the Stumpers, my favorite sites included, Andree's because trash cans are such an original idea, Gustavo's because I study there all the time, and the picture rhymes with the background, and last but not least, Jake's because its such a cool idea.

6. use a background that makes the text go puff!

publishing a picture.

The situation is that we are looking for an image on the Internet to put on our future website. To approach this I would start by finding the image I want. Then I would go to the website containing that picture, so I can get all of the required information. Keeping the website page open, I will create a second window and go to a site that would take crucial elements of that image, such as the title of the site, the site address and the date that I was on the Internet. Then I would put them under the image on my website. But before I even do this, I must consider the source of the image and what I am going to do with it. If it's a picture that I took then I don't have to do anything. If i am going to comment on it, or criticize the image, the "fair use" policy, allows me to do this without the permission of the author. Initially all images that you did not create, require the you to cite your source, and most of them require the permission of the author as they are under the "copyright law."

The last frontier

Once it was outer space, now the last frontier seems to be the Internet. We have gone from the substantial, things of this universe, to the conceptual (things of so-called) communication. This Web is composed of those who prostitutionalize the soul, battle each other with advertisement, and thieves using the pistol of hacking.
Yesterday I received a message on my Facebook telling me to beware of some guy that's using Facebook to hack into our computer. In the beginning of the semester my wall mate had an episode where she was being stalked by a friend. If this stuff happens to people like us who don't use the Internet much, imagine what happens to the computer addicts! AND TRUST this thing!
At the end of 2006 Time was forced to name us as the person of the year, because we spent some much time prostitutionalizing ourselves on this intangible thing called the Internet, that we forgot to pay attention to the industries and companies around us. So instead of them growing, the Internet grew.
What makes it worse is that nobody cares!
In a related article, Walking the Online Edge, a stubborn teacher trying to seek the future by forcing his school to become more dependant on Web 2.0. is worshipped! It talks about the unreliable wiki as though it were a good, productive tool. Anybody can see, it's just a brainstorm of ideas, something you can do in the comfort of a conference group where you can see every bodies faces. Most of our social communication is done through body language anyway. So focus on the extremely small portion of our words. You don't even get the benefit of the voice!
For the same reasons the blog is just a complete waist of time. The teachers felt this way, and the article just shoved their complaints aside, saying that the principal is right to continue to convert the poor school. " I will not relinquish the steering of the wheel of this bus." he says " I might back off the pedal just a smudge, but I refuse to hit the brakes."
There should be an outrage because of behavior like this, but instead it is worshipped! If they put valuable information on the web then there should be an downright mob. Oh wait we already do have all of our valuable information on the web, awaiting the claws of the hacker.

Introduction

Hello, My name is Paul J. Hoeg and I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico all my life. It's pretty sweet there. Nice sunsets and all. I have two dogs, (Gabby and Susie) and two little brothers (Matt and Josh) and two parents. We just moved to a different house this summer so things are finally settling down. I also have a girlfriend, who also lives in New Mexico, but is about to leave for Carelton college in Minnesota.
