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

A friend of mine recommended this course, and I agreed when my friend said, "Everyone has something to say". My friend is absolutely right, I'm interested in what other people are passionate about and how they express their passions.

I feel this course will be cool because it will allow everyone to do just that.

This course also allows me to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by knocking out a GE and WI requirement for my degree.

I took a very intense 2.5 week, online, finance course this summer. WHOO! Talk about jamming information down your throat! I enjoyed taking the course online and decided it was time to try a full semester online course.

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

I read more than some, but less than others. I just won a surplus lot of books on eBay. I paid $25.00 (including shipping and handling) for 28 books! THAT'S LESS THAN A DOLLAR A BOOK! The lot consists of 28 investment books and financial planning books. I enjoy reading non-fiction, and biographies.

This summer I read part of Alan Greenspan's biography, Jim Cramer's (a former hedge fund manager, and investment guru), and Trace Adkin's (a country singer).

I also read all sorts of economic and business journals online. I am an information nut! I am also a Business Economics major, so I love all stuff $$$

I don't write for fun. I write for classes and generally try to ignore page or word requirements. I write to answer the question, then after I feel the paper is complete, I make the necessary edits.

How would you describe your general attitude toward computers and related technology?

Love 'em

Do you have a high-speed internet connection (e.g. cable, dsl, etc.)?

yes

Do you have access to a webcam and a microphone for your computer?

yes

What "Web 2.0" websites do you use?

Facebook, YouTube, Wikis

Have you ever...

Touch my iPod!

I haven't had a blog in a while, because I haven't come across anything really interesting since our podcast!

Up until I found out about the iPod Touch!!! I knew it existed, I just never really looked into it. I had no idea how many capabilities it had, and was thoroughly impressed with the engineering from Apple, as usual. So take a look at the video comparison I have done to the PDA/Smartphones.

The Open University

I found something very interesting on the web. An entire online college outside of the U.S.! This is no ordinary college like the University of Phoenix, this university is entirely made up of distance learning, and courses have their own websites, and video conferencing!

Check it OUT!

Web Identity Project

The Web Identity Project is a fascinating idea. I really never thought of myself as having an online identity until beginning this project. I felt that my Facebook was an extension of my everyday life, and it was. It wasn’t until I realized that there was so much more out there that I could really branch away from plain, old me.

I didn’t change who I am at all. Although instead of taking pictures at an event and posting them on the internet, the internet became my event. I wrote and recorded vi… Continue
