Munich City Again

So i went back to Munich City today to see if something was going on over there and it turns out there was. After i almost got stuck in some building, i walked around for a little while. I found some people who were talking and everything. I just sort of stood and watched. They were like attacking each other? Some of them were animal avatars and they were eating each other? I don't know there was red stuff floating off of them which i am assuming was blood. One of them asked if they say his head… Continue

Second Life in Munich?

So after the creepy fairy on Wednesday, I decided i would log in today and just go around looking at stuff and figuring stuff out. I didn't really have an idea of what i was looking for or what direction i wanted to go in. So i just wondered around for a little while. I checked out a few of places Prof. Reid had given out. Then i started looking for other things to do. I looked for events that were upcoming or in progress. I found Oktoberfest in Munich City. So i figured, what the hell? I have a… Continue

Web Identity Project

During this Web Identity project, I joined a few new sites. Most of them are ok, and I will probably continue to use them as time goes on until I eventually forget about it (which is bound to happen). Out of all of them I still really like Facebook. I don’t know if keeping that completely professional is something that I can do at this point in time. I would love to say I will be able to, but I use it to share all my pictures and keep in contact with people from back home. There are things on th… Continue

Yahoo

I did a Google search for popular social networking sites. Of course Myspace and Facebook came up, and Yahoo 360 came up as well. I have a Yahoo account and I’ve been toying with the idea of it being a social networking site because it does have a few of the aspects of a social networking site. Yahoo does have a messenger and you can talk to anyone else who has it. You can also create a page for yourself and add different types of content to it. Like Myspace you can change the background/theme.… Continue

Twitter

Twitter was pretty cool. I think it would have been better if I was able to get more of my friends outside of this class to get on there too. I was excited when I connected my cell phone to it, so I could update from my phone. That was pretty cool; I never really don’t really do much with my cell phone other than call and text, mostly because we don’t have Internet on the phone. It was exciting to be able to update that by just using like a text message from my cell phone. Little things make me… Continue

Michelle says she is available on Tuesday. We can just meet up in the library after CAP 240. What do you think?

Yea that sounds good. I am on campus Tues. and Thurs (I know that 3 of us are in Media Crit together) but can do anything after 415, or before 1130 either of those days (or Tues I'm free from 1-230). We could try to come up with a topic and plan of what to do and find a time when we can all get together... what do u think?

Sometime soon. I'm thinking even Monday. The earlier we get this done the better. What time is good for you? I'm free all day.
