final project post

I want to explain the process of completing a project in detail, and then describe how come the process of completing each project taxed my patients heavily. Then go into depth about why dropping this class sounded good but in reality a poor life decision. Explain why I liked being miserable because I envisioned success or the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I know I can do something that I could not do before; this will be my theme and the juice was worth the squeeze. I was sketched out with the whole blog and make a profile deal, it was a personal barrier ripped down with the aid of my teacher who had no problem showing me the ropes. Wiki article, my grade sucked on that, I want a better grade, I will try to rip down or apply my learned knowledge the best I can in order to get what I want, Wiki things irritate me, I was resistant before but with a little more earned confidence I hope I can do it better the second time around.

portolio

Enthusiast blog and wiki travel; the blog is something I have had a lot of fun with and there is an event coming up that I would like to blog on, along with revising my personal profile, you pointed out to me something I have to fix. In my enthusiast blog I would include more fights that I would want to see happen if I could make fights. It is something I should have done from the beginning. Second I would want to do either my process blog or my Wiki project. If I did the process blog it would be under the condition of me trying to properly communicate my obstacles and a comprehensive process of how I solved them, of course that would include things I have learned and things I wish I learned. I don’t feel I properly utilized the purpose of the process blog, now that I understand its purpose; I would have used it as a tool of communicative self reflective trouble shooting while being in contact with my professor. As it is now, I feel it does not serve as a mechanism of improvement, but a forum filled with me bitching about class. I would go through the blog project by project in retrospect and state lessons I learned that could be useful to know in the future. If not the process blog then the Wiki; my Wiki project bombed. Another attempt at doing that project sounds horrible and sucks to even think about. But if possible, it would be really nice to up my grade on the Wiki and even learn a thing or two, now that I am not so worked up and have more confidence.

article post

If a résumé could be assembled to show your achievements the way you would want others to see them while keeping your individuality and personality intact to a target audience; that would just about explain a portfolio. This article demonstrates the important nature of presenting your previous work to a target audience, and it tells you how to do it while you think about what you want to accomplish in regards to that audience. Visual stimulus and font are simple and important things to consider while doing your portfolio, especially if it is being done over the internet. Overloading the visual components of your portfolio is bad; not composing your portfolio to include your improvements is also bad, targeting your audience is critical. This article walks you through the process of completing a portfolio that is effective but only you can make it effective to your audience.

post

If it is not one thing it is another. i did everything i believed i needed to do but don't you know i was wrong again. Under the impression that i had already posted my sources i thought i completed something without having my hand held the whole time. today's class, what did i do with those sources? somewhere drifting around the internet is a file of useless stuff waiting to show up or maybe somebody put something in my drink and i imagined putting the sources on sakai and it was one big prank. Being disappointed in myself i still think i did alright on this project. My group now has the right to be upset with me and i could not blame them. If we switched places i would not of had the same tolerance they had. As it stands me and the internet do not make good bed mates.

Overwhelmed is what i am.

After working in a group that likes to work together I guess I was spoiled. The introverts fear the large mouth impulsive member of our group and will not collaborate. So I look like an ass clown speaking up. That is all good. I fear a poor grade on this project because my efforts do not go towards the project but only to making the project a group effort. When I ask the other members of my group any opinion based questions they procrastinate with a response and wait for the outspoken one to be their voice in regards to the question asked. Now all I want to do is whatever the outspoken one says so this project can get done and I get a grade that will allow me to pass.

I get pissed when i try to publish my blogs and they dont go for what ever reason then, i check my shit and i have to post my blogs in some ass backwards order. And my group sucks for this project, i don't like the passive nature of 2 of my group mates and the atention seeking outspoken distraction i call the other girl in the group. do what you gota do, thats all you can do, my work will be done.

just now as i was staring at my computer screen with little success did i notice just the funniest coincidence. my group in class is doing anti-semitism for our awareness project, realizing that my process blog was still up on my screen i went to post a new entry stating what happened in class today with the group, an advertisement, sponsored by google in the middle of my process blog reads: "meet local Jewish singles" in the moment it was funny.
i have no idea what ning is about, i signed in and waited for an email, went to resend email and now i am waiting still. i hate the whole type this fucking word trick the site makes you do, it is not cool so i dislike ning already, still being excited about what i could be i shall try and try again. we are doing anti semitism for a project, i cant really say i know what the project is about yet but it will be on Jews and stuff like that.
Danah vs. Lance both articles advocate for the untapped potential stored within social network sites to be inundated throughout all avenues of future knowledge regarding citizenship. Danah wrote about the social network sites falling short of the potential good they could achieve if properly exercised in society. As of now sns are filled with self centered peoples who's vanity blinds them from the greater purpose of what they are doing. the sns sites now are personal illusions being filled. Lance blames the system of learning for not being able to keep up with technology in regards of citizenship and the duties that involve such citizen ship. the institute is in the stone age and a great thing could be done if those who have the ability to accomplish great things only knew how to do so. the system has neglected its own reason for being the system and that is to be the best it can be. I agree with all of this stuff, the education of the sns to younger generations will reduce the manipulation and exploitative nature of a cheap and easily abused resource such as the Internet. i enjoyed both of these readings. and personal fulfilment is bigger in today's day and age then sense of duty to county, we only need to shift back our ideas with the tools we have to accomplish great things.

This article sounds like every other article i have heard on the subject. that the networks are only to serve as a tool, that tool helps you to access the greater part of your network and your extended social network is more in reach. It shined some light on the history of what is now myspace and facebook, there was a site called 6 degree's of seperation that was too far ahead of its time. Harping on the same angle of what is related to facebook, myspace and social networks, that even me a person who lived under a rock for 22 years now gets the picture this article brought nothing (apart of the history which i liked a lot) new into what i understand. History as this article hints to will be altered because of these social networks, a new way of a collective group to bring together an idea thousands of miles away, the way history is wrote changes now.

Awareness of these things by definition in their own right could be solved within a person by being self aware. I believe it to be unfair to impose society with problems of choice. These issues are micro in nature, if people so choose to understand themselves they can intern understand the world around them with greater proficiency. A level of higher understanding can not be obtained in society regardless of the issue if the majority of people involved have an inferior means of dealing with social problems. So for a cognitive social awareness to be found on any issue the individual members of that society must be capable and inherently responsible for the society those members allow, without capable responsible people no issue has a chance of resolution. The above listed are causalities of unresolved issues facing society, all awareness is futile under the condition of these rampant points: (Ignorance, egotistical aggression, tolerance, emotional volatility, faith)

We all through down for this project. our web site can be described as improved, kind in its navigation and easier on the eyes. All i did was the site map and i slightly outlined the memo and web page, critisism and support for the team was probably my largest controbution. this was kind of fun in a group and would look forward to doing it again.

Monday, November 2, 2009

This is the deal, just log in and bloggin like i am supose to, i got notes to remind me to do so. But when i go for it most often i relize i have nothing to say. this week thus far i did a finalized map of our theoretical web site layout. lost interest in doing the memo because i was writing it like a jackass, so i am going to call apon my group and rekindle my interest of the memo on this monday the second of november the year of our lord 2009.

When doing the group responces on sakai it is a pain, try to say more than needs to be said about a subject multiple times gets old. the positive part of the whole thing is that the repitition of the process forces me to think about different ways i can adddress the same problem, so that if one way sucks after it is put to use then another is on the tip of my tongue and ready to take its place. it is hard to relay that on sakai because how bored would someone get after reading 101 ways to fuck with the font on a project, then read that 3 times, then respond, i like this because everyone is force to the same idea without another person pushing sollutions away untill we meet.

Did you see that shit. got all that work done in time for the dead line and responded to my peers. It may have taken a long time to figure out how to read that adobe file but i got done what needed to. Slowly i am hacking the process of sakia and how to get to assignments, it was close to an hour of relentless clicking to find that adobe file, once done converting into a compatible format the incription adobe puts on its files shut down my software. Repeating this process several times untill figuring out how to jump the hidden incription placed in this adobe file became fun. Sure all is well now, my peers promptly responded to the posting just as i did theirs and we will do well

The take on useing nothing like "i", "me" and things like that invites people to read. Being personal about someplace can make somebody dismiss that place they could have enjoyed.

a judging tone is not good, don't use "best" because that is in the eye of the beholder. Words such as "should" are not grounded and make somebody uneasy.

Bold the mission of your statement if you want focus to be brought to it. this is a way without saying i that a person can express a point at arms reach.

Great, great idea, this is what wiki should of done from the get go. This is the point of the internet, this site wants to be an aid and claims to be nothing more. the rules and ideas wikitravel wants to demonstrate follow a travelers interest and nothing more. What i liked is that they are not a road map, or a travelers log, a good place to find a good place, a guide, take it or leave it attitude with no focus on photos or history. i Love the idea this is not a short cut to discovery but an idea, a segway to get you to the spot you really want to go to and nothing more. Travelers comfort, mobile device friendly it claims no truth and wants no truth but asks for opinions and tells them if you look. A good word for this wiki spin off would be "comfort" there is no knowledge or statements that resemble truth here.

The internet now may provide an outlet for individuality. If you think you’re alone on a subject or wish to find your subject of interest the internet is the one stop shop for all your needs. Depending on what your blogging needs is there is a way to go about blogging. Being specific, very specific helps find the blogger info for you while if you blog at a high level you must not badger or strand the listeners for fear of losing them. If you wanted to know about cars one of the first places you should look would be at a car and somehow computers have taken a monopoly. The monopoly of passion, by this I mean whether or not a camera or car balloon or bug why would you turn to a computer if you are really interested. Tending to impulsive interests because it’s easy to get instant gratification trivializes true passion. In some way a computer can elevate some body’s life calling, but as it stands if you like kites fly them, if you like cars find some cars, if you like bugs get bugs. My point becomes if you’re balls deep into cars what are you doing blogging your ass off and why would I listen to you in the first place.
