Pinterest is a very interesting concept… Before this class I actually wasn’t sure what it was. Now that I have one I’m actually not sure how much I’d actually use it. First of all, I think it’s strange that you have to be “invited” to join. That doesn’t seem to be very inviting, but at […]
There once was an iPad 3…
This past weekend I had the unfortunate experience of being with my mother when she got her new iPad… I should clarify that the iPad itself wasn’t what bothered me. What bothers me so much is when she and my father buy things and then expect me to teach them how to use it. I […]
Briggs Chapter Nine: Data Driven Journalism
This chapter took me back to my tenth grade year at Freedom High School. I was taking a Computer Information Systems class with my favorite teacher in the entire world, Kathryn Cossa. In that class I was taught many of the things that this chapter taught. It makes me feel like I’m ahead of the […]

Maybe it’s just the 21st century kid in me that doesn’t like […]

Workshop #2: Search Engine Optimization
I recently attended a search engine optimization seminar hosted by Aram, and I learned a lot of important things that I can implement in my blog. I enjoyed learning about how I can make my blog and my information easily searchable for by employers. Some of the technical things that I learned was that titles […]
Apple accepts Netflix
A few weeks ago I posted a blog item that said that Apple was trying to muscle out Netflix with a product that didn’t seem to be all that practical. Well, it seems that I might have been wrong. Either that or Apple realized that their own version of Netflix wasn’t ready to be released […]
