Video Sharing...I just recently actually learned how to join the craze and post my videos on the web. I can't believe how easy it is to do. Here are a couple that I have posted...

Final Project


Final Project Rough Draft


For my final project I had the idea of working with the MS-150 cycling tour that comes through Logan
each summer. I want to be able to use the tools we have been taught to help with this project. The first tool
that I am going to use is the map building feature we learned. I think it would be very beneficial if I were to be
able to build a map that included the bike routes and and rest stations for the tour. I think people would use
these maps and they would be a big attraction to the project.

The next tool I would want to use is a photo sharing program such as Flikr. I would put up a bunch of
pictures of the tour and some of the routes and things of that nature. It would include pictures of people on the
tour and supporting the tour. I would also put a bunch of pictures of surrounding attractions in the Logan area.
Many of the people that come up for the tour may not know what Logan has to offer and so I think it would be
beneficial for them to know and see what Logan has for entertainment and relaxation.

I also have thought about doing some video sharing that would include such things as a mini-video of
past tours to show some of the highlights of the tour and it would have narration that would talk about what the tour
was about and what the goal of the tour was. I would want to include interviews and what not of people who have
ridden in the tour or that are planning to ride to get different views on things.

I think it might be a good Idea to start a blog or even a Wiki page dedicated to the 2007 MS-150 tour that
future riders or anybody w/ information or questions could get on and network with other cyclists. I think all of this
would just be very beneficial for those seeking information about the tour.

So in all, I think this would be a pretty good topic for this project just because the tour is such a big attraction in
Logan and I think the tools we have learned could make a difference in accessibility of information for the tour.

Podcasting?!

Well, I have been trying to figure out how to podcast and have had nothing but problems...nothing seems to work...I downloaded a thing called juice and subscribed to a filming podcast and it kind of works. I don't know what link i'd put down here to show my podcast though?? Here is the filmaking URL though if that helps???

Mapping

So here is my three favorite places...I love Venice Beach in LA, My old house in Sandy, and of course, Amanda's house...

I tried using the other map builders and for some reason none of them worked but this one did

Tag Clouds

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with the tag clouds..I have been to zoom cloud and every time I try to design something it sends me to a page w/ a server problem? So I went to delicious and created a tag cloud, but i'm not sure how to post it up here... Here is where it is at on delicious though....

ASSIGNMENT 3: WIKI

For this assignment, I went to a slam dunk wiki and under the notable dunk section I added that Vince Carter jumped and dunked over a 7'2" white dude...best dunk ever in my opinion.

WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT: RSS

WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT

After using bloglines for a week I found that they are a times pretty useful. I don't know how much I would use them though in my normal day-to-day life. I have just been so used to going straight to what I want....But it was nice to go to, say the sports RSS thing and have it give me all the days news and let me choose from the list what I want to read. One thing that I didnt' like though was that after I clicked on my "feed" I couldn't go back and click it again and have it bring up all of the same results. It would just give me a link to one main website. Anyways, A couple of my favorite ones were:
