Tell us a little about yourself and your interest in the course you're taking.

I love to be on the forefront of emerging technology. That's pretty much all I have to say for now.

What are your reading and writing habits? (i.e. what do you like to write and read?)

I read a lot of classics such as Voltaire, Dickens, and numerous other works as well as some modern works such as Stephen King and a couple of graphic novels. As I am writing this I am reading 'The Stand' and 'Watchmen.'

Professional Web Identity

My choice for my professional web identity I will be choosing Linkedin.com.

There really doesn't seem to be a way on the site to ruin your reputation like on facebook where someone can tag an image of you doing an embarrassing action. As my resume builds and my education continues, I will update this site frequentl… Continue

I have recently been introduced to the website Linkedin.com.

It seems to be a great way to build an online resume which can be sent to prospective companies. You can also use the site to build a contact list consisting of other people in the same field as yours (or other fields) in order to learn about new job availabilities as well as staying co… Continue

Digg.com

I noticed a couple of other people blogging about digg.com and I can only add to these discussions as I have been enjoying digg for a couple of years now. For those who don't know digg.com is a social news networking site and what this means is users can log in a and share news stories or websites with the digg community who vote on the sites by "digging" them. The stories which received the most diggs appear on the front page for all to view and vote upon. With enough diggs, the stories will re… Continue
