Wiki is driving me crazy

The media Wiki project sounds awesome; however, I spent a lot of time in debating on my "Tip, Trick, or Tut" in class. I wanted to do something productive for the class and of interest to me. At first I thought of presenting additional photoshop tools to remove unwanted elements from a picture, but it sounded kind of repetitive, easy and boring. I kept going back and forth between topics with professor Cripps during class. Finally at the end of class after discussing my interests and major concentration with professor Cripps, I realized that sometimes we want the easy way to get a job done, but if we invest a little more time and dedication we can come up with something better that will benefit us more in the long run. So...... I have changed my Wiki project, I hope I can get it done nicely without pulling my hair out.

So much for that GREAT pitching staff (so far)

The New York Yankees have me concerned lately. Not to the point of a panic (I mean come on, it's not even may), but they need to step it up. ESPECIALLY the pitchers! Wang seems clueless out there and was even skipped in his start against the Red Sox. Sabathia and Burnett are doing OK, but below their abilities. Joba is also doing decent-nothing spectacular, but thats almost expected since he's still young and transitioning. Pettitte, in my opinion is looking the best. He has brought consistency with every start. Now if only the other pitchers would get their heads out of their asses! It's time to wake up and stay up!

Its Crunch Time!!!

It is approximately three weeks remaining in the Spring '09 semester and around this time students in all majors find themselves in "Crunch Time" mode. The school library is usually filled to capacity.. .all computers are in use and what makes it ironic is that the students that you would never expect to be in a library, is definitely there completing any and every assignment possible. I believe I'm not alone on this one, but we all have this "Crunch Time" sickness. Also, what makes this even worst is that its nearly 90 degrees outside and you can't really enjoy it! Nevertheless in my opinion, its always "work" before "play." Even though we York Collge students suffer from this crunch time sickness every semester, we somehow try to overcome all obstacles and achieve all goals to be successful.

Dreamweaver a Keeper

I like the way Dreamweaver allows you to create, build and manage complex websites. I also like the fact that what I see is what I get which means that I can design my web page visually and whatever I see on the screen is what my visitors will see when they visit my website. I don't know if all the other free web editor out there can do what Dreamweaver does, but I like the interface and the familiarity I get with just a few clicks. The only downfall is that is just way to expensive for a students like me; however I think it is a good addition to your software library once you start marking the big bucks.

Oooh the confusion!

Dreamweaver and Photoshop.. oh boy! What can i say? I dont think they are necessarily difficult programmes to use, they are just slightly confusing if you are not familiar with them... This has been such a roller coaster... Some class meetings go really smooth, and I understand what is being taught, and in that moment I am able to apply it.. and I am sure everyone can relate, cause you actually feel like you have accomplished something.. but then... give it a couple days, and you're back to square one! Wow, this has been a looong road... I only hope that I can get it together in time for the last day of class!!!
