Taking Photos from Wikimedia and adding captions/words onto them that reflect the feeling of the image.
Picture 1
What crazy hair!…I couldn’t think of a better caption…
Picture 2
I cropped these some to move the emphasis. The second one seems cuter than the first.
Polite. Expectant.
Onomatopoeia,
a lot of the pictures I find I want to use a sound for my words…Chu! Twang
Fwoosh! or something like that…
So…ya I kinda abandoned this site for awhile…ya know once it wasnt required to update.
But I do/did have relevent news for this thing!
A friend owns the business so not a hard thing to angle but the situation was pretty lucky for me.
I am almost done with my first professional website.
You can check it out here…
Hrm…not sure if I should be giving that out now that I think about it…though I think I have posted the link before on like twitter or facebook or something…
Not that there is really any info that they wouldn’t want public. Thats kinda the point of the website…?
For our last lab in PC adminastration we are building a pretend computer…or rather creating a shopping list for building a computer. Actually two…with price tags of $700 and $1700.
I was planning on looking up the system requirements for Photoshop and its friends.
I originally had a shuttle to a distant planet at the opening…this is entirely unrealistic. As NASA is already replacing the shuttle.
The new design makes me think of that Star Trek movie…the 2nd NG? Ah yes the Phonix, the first warp ship.
Though it would be nice to have something a little less phallic looking to draw. Trying to make something up, that still looks good…and aerodynamic.
Constuction on page 2…The accident site.
“I have no fear of drowning, it’s the breathing that’s taking all this work…” Work by Jars of Clay. Lyrics Listen Band
Making a plan of attack for my projects and miscellaneous work for all my classes over these last few weeks. I have a lot to do.
Tonight I have been going through my Networking labs. Making sure I finished them all and reviewing the material. We have a test next Wednesday. This is something I have been needing to do for awhile. Procrastination…Ooo.
Things that I need by friday (technically today):
Due Sunday:

Friday I have a resume consultation as a final in Tech Writing.
I plan on making an (semi)interactive digital comic. I will make it in flash.
Each panel will play like a movie clip, the current panel will be in full color. When the user is done reading a panel they will click or press a button and that panel will freeze in greyscale and the next will highlight and play.
The plot is still sort of wishy washy as I tend to make things up as I go…
But I plan on doing something fun and lighthearted, of the old-school comic persuasion.
Im thinking Zombies…in space. A loose plot built around that.
A page of introduction providing the setting, a colony on a desolate planet. A page showing some type of horrible accident where an alien substance gets mixed into the air supply or something to start the zombie uprising.
The comic will have at least one Adam West Batman style fight scene.
More details as they come to me.
Edit(1) Thought up (what I think is a hilarious) ending for my comic…now I just have to fill in the plot parts.
I totally wrote an awesome dialog scene in my sleep. Unfortunately I dont really remember talking from my dreams. So I have the look and movement down…just dont remember what the were talking about. *facepalm*

We are now assigned with making a couple of 1-2min podcasts of original content.
I have only listened to a few Podcasts, so I would say I am a bit new to the whole area.
Currently I am listening to S-Words with Megatokyo’s own Dom, who I believe is an interesting writer of random things…which is kinda what their podcasts are about…
Some topics I am considering for my own:
I realize that I do have a fair amount of knowledge of many trivial things, many nerdy/geeky things, and some slightly embarassing things like fairies and unicorns. lol. (I lie…I didn’t actually lol cuz I am in lab right now…and typing on these keys is loud enough.)
I need to listen to more podcasts…
any suggestions?
