The school publication, now online! Look at that, I even landed the front page.

Everyone's talking about the New York Times article that says that blogging can kill you. Long hours, high stress and lack of exercise all contribute to a potentially unhealthy job situation. Recently one popular blogger died and another suffered a heart attack.

I think blogging is like anything else. You can get hurt or injured by anything. I think the article crazy and people need to start focussing on more important things.

It is nice to see a singer, song writer and poet be recognized. Some may not like Dylan's music or style but I think that having someone lik ehim in the writing community has been beneficial.

Dylan, the most acclaimed and influential songwriter of the past half century, who more than anyone brought rock from the streets to the lecture hall, received an honorary Pulitzer Prize on Monday, cited for his "profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

It is nice to see trashy magazines do something nice. Most magazines like this are about celebrity gossip and whos dating who. It is nice to see them give good people some respect.

Cameron Diaz's family remembered her father Emilio for his humor and honesty, and said they're coping with his April 15 death with the help of "an amazing outpouring of love."

CnEt and Yahoo are working together to produce news, blogs and reviews. The partnership will hopefully bring popularity and help sell products. It was a big agreement and win for CNET.

There are constantly ads across the internet that we are exposed to. Many organizations say they are doing it to make news and the consumer happy, but I think they are really looking for a profit. How many ads do we really see when we surf the net? Its alitle scary to think about, because I'm probably being influenced by htem without even knowing.

I think that is is pretty scary. Google already controlds the Internet now they are going to take over the phoone. I honestly dont want to go on my phone and have all kinds of advertisements popping up. When will the consumer get a break?

The article talks about how google is making brand-image ads on the cellphone to start expandning from the Internet. They want to begin advertising on phones and open a whole new market.

Great lesson plans and articles.  Also good for thematic lesson plans.

This article talks about how Kip Kedersha is make How to video that millions of people watch daily. You can learn how to chill a coke in two minutes, turn a flashllight into a light saber, and simulate a gunshot wound. His ideas have been making him money and the article compares him tot he likes of martha stewart.

People can make money from nothing. Anything broadcasted on the Interent can be the next big thing. This how to ideas have made him a profit. We have discussed in class how and why these videos become popular. I still don't completely know why but it still is really interesting.

I think this is a good site for reading reviews for popular fiction novels.  I'm always looking for a way to find a new and interesting book to read.

One of my favorite photographers and a friend. She is a freelance photographer who enjoys all types and styles of work. She grew using a manual camera and now she has gone to digital. She knows a great deal about corporate pressure and staying on top of technology.

When i think of technology advances I think of people like hannah who make a living trying to stay ontop of all the advances. Her art depends on a tool and writing space. Photography has been remediated over and over again, it just must be tough to rememeber the difference between making a living and doing something you truly enjoy.

A great writing web site.  If you've never visited, I suggest taking a look around.  You can get a free portfolio, and there are plenty of people here who love to read and write and give really useful feedback.

This is my brother's photography website. He has been involved with photography all my life and I have become to appreciate the art. He enjoys all types of photography but he mostly does band photography. He is a popular name in the Hardcore music industry of Philadelphia.

My brohter knows a great deal about how technology can take a hold of your life. He begin taking pictures with a manual camera, but his photography has stemmed to digital. He is constantly researching and finding new technologies that can benifit his art. He feels hardcore music and band photography don't get the credit they deserve. Technologies, like the Internet, lets bands and hardcore music expose their talent to the world and open peoples eyes to something different.
