Reflecting on this semester . . .
This was a good semester. It was a new school, new city, new major and was signed up for 5 courses, 4 of which were EMAC or ATEC classes and I still want to be an EMAC major. Seems like something went right I guess. I thoroughly enjoyed all of my classes, classmates and professors. [...]
My Thoughts on the Presentations
I thought all of the presentations were great and you can tell everyone put a lot of time and effort into every step of the process when it comes to building a website. But I’m going to single out three of the ones I liked and talk about why each had it’s own place in [...]
Task #8 Completed – New Post
Just wrote another post about a video made by FITC who hosts events where innovaters in digital media come from around the world to meet up and see what the future has in store for them. The video is about how advertising agencies have to change in order to survive.

Make-Up Task #6 – Top 10
The idea was for my website to have a “Top 10″ page but I didn’t want any of my uploads to be eligible for this page to encourage user-uploads and because I feel like this would be the best model. I toyed around with a few widgets and plugins and I only found one that [...]
Presentation Blog Post
I built this site with the idea of having a “creative commons” of sorts but for ads, commercials and marketing ideas. I wanted people to come talk about what ads they liked/disliked and hopefully create their own versions. It would kind of be a youtube of advertising and marketing where everyone would put their responses [...]
Task #7 – Burger King Post
I just wrote up another blog post, this time about Burger King’s new online ad banner. I suggest anyone who has a web-cam to check it out. By using your web-cam and a dollar bill you can interact with the ad and it’s a pretty cool step for ads.

Bulletin Board
I have been searching everywhere for the best software to use for my site’s forum and/or discussion area. And after much research I’ve decided on bbPress. They’ve been around for a little while so they’ve figured out what bugs they had early on and the integration with Wordpress seems to be good even if it’s [...]
My site officially has a blog
The first of many to come but here’s the link to my first blog post on my website

Thematic Changes
Made a few aesthetic changes to my site like some colors, typography and borders. More importantly I added all the categories, widgets and footers set up the way I wanted it. It is a pretty simple theme and I don’t have much (any) information/content on it yet but it’s coming along. For your viewing pleasure: [...]
What It’s All About
Just finished my About This Site page for my website. Talked about why I built the site, what purpose I have in mind, who I made it for and what I want it to become. Pretty much touched on all the major points but as I build this site I can see myself fine-tuning it [...]
