Access Hollywood Video

I found this video on Access Hollywood, First of all, it wasn't one of the best videos I've seen in general, but the background noise was absolutely horrible. There is so much talking and muffled sounds in the background that to me it is distracting. I think that considering this video is on such a popular celebrity website, they could have taken out all of that background sound.

Homecoming King?

This is a news article I was introduced to this morning through my internship at WSNX, a Grand Rapids radio station. We used this piece as a segment and got many calls concerning the article. People calling had a number of reasons for taking one side over the other. Personally, I do not agree with the way this high school is dealing with the situation. I don't want to give the article away, so take a look and decide for yourself if Mona Shores High School is handling this the way they should. 

Good Example of Multimedia

I think this is a great article that everyone should read. People can always improve their confidence and gain a better self-image of themselves. This woman is such an inspiration. It makes me want to try to avoid looking at my body while I'm changing, or checking my make-up before I go to The Rock for lunch.

Bad Example of Multimedia

I think this is a bad example of multimedia because it makes our society look more uneducated than we already seem. This video also feeds the stereotype of "dumb blondes." I understand randomly posting "fun" videos on Youtube, but this girl has too much time on her hands with the amount of videos she has similar to this one. Yes, I am going to put dogs in an oven and spin around dressed as a turtle the next time I'd rather do something else than clean my room.

This Is It

I never thought a blog was something I would have. I'll never remember to keep up with it unless I have it written all over the place in my agenda. I don't really like being on the computer very often, and I'm so busy that I often go a day or two without doing anything on the internet besides checking my email. I'm also not very technologically advanced. In fact, I hate technology, mostly the changes that are taking place at a faster pace than I want to keep up with. This class, however, I have a feeling will change my views on that. I will be learning how to use different forms of technology I am not used to.
