TED Talks Before I Die..

I am reviewing a Ted Talk video that I watched called "Before I die".  I have watched several Ted talks videos mostly humorous ones or tech ones.  This short video really did touch me and they way she presented it with the pictures as she spoke made the presentation spectacular!  It was inspiring how she took her creative side and put a chalkboard on an ugly abandoned store in New Orleans that had the simple statement "Before I die.." and had fill in the blanks all over.  She showed pictures as the days went on and how fast they filled up and shared some of peoples wishes.  Without the visuals it would have been less relatable and harder to grasp.  Some humor was used when sharing some of the wishes that made the seriousness of the tone a little less serious.  It was about 6 minutes long and it was great, but I still craved for more.  I was captivated throughout the entire presentation that is probably why I wished it was a little longer.  I really enjoyed this presentation and will probably pass it along to my friends and family.

Social Media Update!

A little half way through my social media class and I wanted to give a quick update (not that anyone is reading) on my social media progress.  I am pushing more of the blogger, twitter, and linkedin for my individual project. I have twitter down pretty good right now so that one is pretty easy. I think blogger is very easy to use it's just making sure to remember to blog that gets to me. I would like to blog at least twice a week, but sometimes I find it hard to figure out what I should blog about. I do enjoy linkedin I think that one takes a little bit more work to make yourself stand out. I think having the linkedin account could potentially lead me to a new job I am hoping. I think once class is over I will probably stick with Linkedin and twitter.

Finding my way into something new!

My previous blog I wrote about my programing troubles and I am still in the same boat. I continue to struggle and I am still waiting for it to click but am running out of patience. I went to the MATC open house and talked to professors in the IT field and was delighted to have such great help. I spoke to a professor about the IT security field and knew instantly that I wanted to try it out and perhaps attain an associates degree. I felt so relieved that I had a great professor who gave me a great run down on what it was all about and he even showed me what classes to take off the bat. I felt so great about that and next semester I will be taking hopefully 6 or more credits. I can't wait to start learning I just need to make it this semester. Fingers crossed!
