Will I continue to blog?

Will I ever blog again???? Actually I will probably blog once in a while, but will not blog a lot. I will probably check this when ever I have a free time and will decide to write something. Or maybe I will write something on this blog if there is something important going on, or maybe I want to write something on this when I want peoples say on what I am thinking about. Because I like to know what other people's opinion on my thoughts.

DOT com to DOT bomb

The dot com to dot bomb story was during the time when a lot of dot com companies failed and went out of business they made a lot of promises to their customers that they could not deliver. So what happen was the customers decided to go to other companies, and so some companies exceed and gotten more popular, and the most of the companies that did not deliver what ever they said would do, have failed and some went out of business.

I think because of this DOT com to DOT bomb a lot of companies have decided that they should pull through with what they promise their costumers. A lot more companies were more careful with their promises to their customers and were sure that when they make promises, they have to pull through with it. This DOT com to DOT bomb has helped a lot more business improve and get succeed.

Travel Planning in the Web

So a couple months ago my family went to Florida. I dad did his research. He looked up some information online about the different locations you go to at Florida. He also looked up information on where the most affordable nice place we can stay at for a certain amount of days. He also looked up the directions and maps. Lastly he looked up information on the rental cars, and airplane tickets.

I think planning online is one of the best ideas you can do. You can find all the things you need in the internet. From the different locations to hotels to rental cars and airplane tickets. You can plan out your day just by using the internet. Doing your research online you will find when the best day to go to a certain place, and when it is the best weather, it is just great to see all this information online.

MY NERVE RACKING PRESENTATION

Today I presented about the book called The Knowledge of the Web by James Burke. This book The Knowledge of the Web talks about the different connection between the everything that goes around us. One of the most important things that connects to almost everything is technology. Technology connects to politics, education, scientific, and media. This book does not talk about the world wide web, but it talks about the connections, that is why it is called the "web."
In educational the technology is the new way of thinking, it over rides intelligence. The machines that we are taught to use is increasingly taking over the tasks that once occupied a human lifetime.
In media the techonology happens when we use the printing press, and any communications that society can get involve in and get information on.
In politics, the newspaper, computers, internet are very important in the politics world because without the media no one would know anything about what is going on in our government and politician world.
In the scientific world today, we have better technology. The science has expanded for example Botany has become biology, chemistry, histology, embryology, evolutionary biology, physiology.

www."HIS FACE".net

Kevin Freitas, was different from the guy from exit 133. Actually they were kind of the same, but their sites are much more different. What I remember was his site was different from exit 133. Because exit133 talked about the things going on in Tacoma. In Kevin's page it talked about the things that he see's not just in Tacoma, he also has different part of his page when it talks about video games. He loves to take different pictures. And post it on his site, he said so it is memorable to remember. I remember him saying was that both and his wife wakes up in they go straight to the computer and that is when they do their blogs, and check their emails. That is their only time to catch up on emails and blogs. Another thing I remember him talking about is that he NEVER reads. Unless it is an email or something, but other than that he has not read a book for longer than FOREVER.

Online Communities

Online communities... I think I have been involved with different online communities before, for example there was this website called YOUTHGLUE.com, my pastor had a subscription on this site for my youh group, and we would discuss our ideas and what we though in this site. We had our own websites. It was like a myspace. If we were discussing something in our chat place, or forum my pastor would see if our conversations would go over board, and if it crosses the line he would delete this certain topic. Then I had my own XANGA.com it was exactly like how this blogspot worked. We would blog about things and people would read it then comment on it. I had a group of friends that would comment me regularly, but there were some random people that would just check out my site, and say "props to your site." There was no specific rules in xanga on what to not put on your site, but I think you would not be allowed to put up inappropriate pictures. Then I had facebook, it is group of college students who has their own sites, and would comment on it. In your site you usually see where you are from and what school or college you are from. I do not exactly know the things that is going on in facebook because I don't go on in enough to know, what could happen if I do something wrong. Lastly I have myspace, YES myspace.... Everyone has a myspace and I LOVE IT! It is a way for me to communicate and know what is going on in other peoples lives without seeing them. I comment and look at pictures. In myspace, Tom makes sure that no one is putting up inapprooriate pictures and would delete your account if you do have some.

Scavenger Hunt

This is what I have so far

I have found the first one I just had to search up his name on google and digital hollywood. The second one took me forever to find, I had to work on it with Daniel. The third one was a little complicating it took some time to get all the information together then finally find the price. As for ther others from 4-7 it did not take that long to find the information I just had to google it.



That is how much I have gone so far, Daniel helped me look through somethings, and I was not there the day we did it in class.

Biggest Purchase I am comfortable making

Well the biggest purchase I have online, is nothing. Like what I said I have not purchased anything online. Well the biggest purchase I have in actual stores is probably $200 dollars on a jacket probably. But usually when I am making a big purchase it is usually paying for the item. I am comfortable in making any purchase less than 200 dollars because over that is just a waste of money. Unless it is a house or a car. Actually the biggest purchase I have done is a car it was worth $750.00.

It really depends on what the item is. If it is a car then there is a certain limit, probably thousands. If it is a house probably hundreds of thousands. But if it is a shoe or type of clothing less than 200 dollars. There is really no certain amount of money I can spend, it depends on the item I am buying.

What does it take to Make a Community?

Huh?? What does it take to make a community? That is a great questions. I looked up the word community in the dictionary, it means a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage. Or a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests.

A community just need people that has the same beliefs, or something the have in common or share any interest with this group of people. Does not exactly have to have a place where there's grocery, shopping center, houses, church, or any place. You do not need a place to be in a community, it is made up of people. You can not have a community and have homes, cars, roads, shopping area, groceries without any people. Like what I said before you need people for it to become a community.

Your Topic for Presentation

Well my topic for presentation is the book called "The Knowledge Web" by James Burke. It is a great book about technology and how it evolves from forever ago. I do not exactly know the details about it because I have no read over it, but I have skimmed through it. What I know so far about the different technology, such as DNA fingerprinting, how technology connects to politics, scientific, business corporations, educational institutions and universities, and media and communication agents. One part of the book talks about how they came up with the idea to fix the Tacoma Narrow Bridge. But that is all I know about my book. :)

Services that are Available

OK well.. there are so much services out there online. There is bank online, and you can up load all your checks stuff, transfer things from one account to another and all these things. There is food shopping online, like Albertson or Safeway online. I think thats awesome! But anyways there are dating services online, I think its weird when people meet online, and they start dating, but it is possible. Oh! one of my favorite services out there is dvd rentals, all you do is pick a movie from Blockbuster then they send it to you in mail. That is my favorite, no need to go to the store pick a movie which takes a long time, then drive back home then finally watch the movie.

Comfort in Purchasing Online

Well actually I have never purchased online anything online. But I have look through online to compare things or have looked online to see if a company has the item I needed. Its weird, my teacher asked everyone in class what was the last thing they purchased online, and everyone said something except me. I never really like the whole thing with purchasing it online, I would rather see it in person, and try it out. Thats just me. I dont really like online things, I am scared it might be broken or something, then I would have to return it, then wait for them to ship it.

Tradegy of VT

Dude, I was looking over all the news on what has happen at Virgina.. man its sooo SCARY! If that ever to me or my school, I don't know what I would do! Earlier today me, daniel, and tony were walking out of our building and we were talking about what would happen if a shooter was at our school, and started running after us. I mean, that Cho guy locked the whole building in so that he could shoot everybody in the building, and the only way out was the windows. I mean that PSYCHO! super scary!

I was also watching the video of that Cho guy that he send to NBC. Man he is soo WEIRD! with all those weird pictures with the hammer and knife and gun, pointing everywhere! wow! But I still kind of, (KIND OF) felt bad for him because he had no friends. But I mean he chose to not have friends, and plus he was creepy, and he would stalk girls.. weird... :/

I guess all we can say is keep the families that are grieving and hurting because of their lost love one in our PRAYERS.

EXT 133

Having Derek Young in class was very interesting. It was really cool how he talked about how he started it, and why he continued on doing different blogs for the city of Tacoma. I think it was really cool that he finds time to blog on this site everyday, and finds information good enough that people will be fascinated about. And he finds such interesting things that people will start commenting and has something to say. He writes his blogs in a specific way that his audience will not dose off and be bored by the end of the story, he keeps it short and straight to the point.

Another thing that really stood out to me is, he knows his audience. He knows mostly all the people that comments him, or he gets to know his audience. He even finds specific time and day to have a meeting with his audience to play a game of umm... some ball game. It gets the audience more interested with his topic and his blog site if, he is also interested in talking to them at the same time.

I want to be able to write a blog and everyone would comment me, and say something about my life story. I use to have a xanga, and I had to write different kinds of blogs, usually about my day, and people would comment on it and I always love peoples comments and what they have to say, because it shows that they are interested in my life story, and what I have something to say.

Vanity Search

When I searched my name, I found one site that has me. Actually there was only one search that was found from "Jenalyn Suico". There was a picture of me in the king county newspaper from the DECA team from Thomas Jefferson High School. But when I changed it a little bit, from "Jenalyn Suico" to "Jenny Suico" I have found this actress from the Philippines, an official website and also many more choices to find, and there was about 6-9 pages. But I never found myself in any of the selections. On my last search which was "nylanej23" which is my name from a lot of things, my screen name, my email, my name for certain sites, I have found three differnt sites that has that name, which all of them were me.

It is amazing to find yourself on the web and to find so many other people with the same name as you, and find informations about them and where they are from.

Email vs. Mail

There are so many things that are very similar with both email and mail. I was in shock when we talked about all these similarities with these two things. There are no characteristics of mail that is different from email. It is so amazing how technology has been advancing.

Publication

In class, we learn the different publications in technology. Invitations, cards, catalogs, newsletter, newspaper, and other resources you can find on the internet. I think our technology is advancing every year trying to find more things we can find on the internet.

HTML project page

When I worked on the html project, it was very simple. All I had to do was follow the instructions. Every single detail. The only part I had problems in was the h1 and h2. I have worked on html before but not with all these codes. My myspace has a lot of html, because my sister always put different html on it, and I have to figure out what she puts in my site in order to understand it and fix it. But by doing this excerise I learn some news html that I have not heard before but also heard too.
