AlexisOnFire Day!!!!!

Happy alexisonfire day!!! What? You don't know what that is? Well last year on this very day my bestfriend went to the Alexisonfire concert and it "changed her life". So this year today she declared it alexisonfire day! And being the great friend I am, I am celebrating it too!  You may ask, do you even listen to them? And the answer is no. I listen to them when I am with her, or if she wants me to listen to a specific song or something, but on a daily basis no I do not. I think they sound good and they have good music, but hey I'm not much of a music person altogether. I read all the time, it's what I do. She listens to music all the time, it's what she does. Why, you may ask, am I celebrating then? Because, she's my bestfriend and if she's happy then I'm happy. =) <3 So why not?!?!? You celebrate too!!

Spring Break News!

The biggest piece of news I heard from spring break is that AT&T bought Tmobile. My friend told me about it this morning when I got to school. It captured my attention because I have Tmobile and my friend informed me when he saw my phone. He said, "So, how do you like having AT&T?" And I had no clue what he was talking about, so then he explained that they bought them. My service hasn't changed any so it doesn't really matter to me that they bought them.

Egronomics

We should be concerned about the proper ergonomics when using a computer because the proper ergonomics can enhance the quality of our computer use. Such as proper viewing (angle of eye sight), angle of our wrists, our back posture, etc. Without ergonomics we could strain something important.

Applying Sound to a Powerpoint

The hardest thing about applying sound to a power point was having to re-record for a certain slide if you messed up when narrating. You had to redo all the slides after the slide you wanted to fix, so there was a lot of pressure to try not to screw up your lines. I'm not sure what I would like to do next with sound, anything and everything seems interesting!

Problems at Westside

Dear Mr. McDonough,

                     There are issues at Westside High School that should not be over looked. Some are minor, others need more attention at the current point in time. One issue that should be addressed is the traffic. We need a better system for the student parking area. After school or sometimes even before school, it takes a really long time to make it out of the parking lot and down the street to turn. Some parents need to get back to work after picking up their kids or have places to go and with how the traffic is its impossible to get in and out within a feasible amount of time. Maybe there could be a person out there directing traffic so that the "jams" are prevented or we could  just put up signs to show people not to come in the exit.

Musical Background

If I had to put music on my "Digital Scavenger Hunt" that I did, I would use music that insinuated a sort of "chase". You know the kind of music the play in the background when there's an action scene in a movie? I would use something like that, or something fun and up beat!

~*Sound*~

Sound is an important factor in life. It plays a key role in communication with other beings. Sound allows us to be notified and alert when our other senses such as sight or touch has failed us. Without sound we wouldn't be able to enjoy music or the laughter of our best friends, etc. We express most of our emotions with sound.  For projects such as power points, videos, etc. sound can make it more interesting and can grab the viewers attention. If I could listen to anything in the world, I would listen to music.
