The Future

One thing I think would be cool for the future is an online law enforcement agency, the Internet Police Department! The IPD would be a government agency that would able to track all websites that people are going to that could be doing illegal stuff. At this day in age, lots of crimes are committed using the internet. If there was an entity that could stop these people, the internet would be a much safer place. How many times have you heard of people getting caught hacking, using computer viruses, or any other illegal activity on the internet? The internet is a very cool thing, but with advances in programming and technology, it becomes dangerous at times. A lot of personal information is spread on the internet and there isn't really anything that stops people from getting it. Identity theft is a growing problem in America and it is mostly because of technology and the internet. With the Patriot Act, I don't even think it would be illegal for the government to track every website we go to. Unethical? Debatable.... but not illegal. I want all of the sites that give viruses or have illegal content to be removed from the internet. There is a lack of control and regulation on the internet, and it makes it kind of a dangerous place.

Cyber Law Enforcement - Basic online law enforcement agency. If this concept could be advanced to a much larger scale, online crimes could be prevented and prosecuted.

Future of my Blog

If I were to continue my blog, what could I do to increase my readership? I think I would just advertise it more. A lot of people didn't even know I was blogging but if I actively went out of my way to recruit readers I think I could get a lot more people. I found out that more people are blogging in the world than I initially thought! Maybe some of those people would enjoy reading what I have to say... at least people in Gainesville would!

Almost Done

Hey everybody!

Thanks to the few of you who actually did check out my blog! It was a pretty cool experience learning how to do all of this stuff. I have blogged before but never created my own and I really did enjoy it. Just a heads up, the class that I created this blog for ends Friday, August 6th so my posts after that date will be sparing, if they happen at all.

Thanks again! Party on!!

Flair Bartenders

This is a video of a bartending trend called "Flair Bartending." It is actually a preview for a documentary or movie about 14 bartenders that travel the world showing people their skills. These people didn't visit Gainesville but I wish they did. Some of this stuff is absolutely amazing!

Slideshow

It's simply a slideshow of a bunch of pictures I took one night and me narrating telling the story of what happened that night.

Enjoy!

This is my podcast episode

This is a simple narration of what I did one night out at the bars. It featured trips to Balls, Cantina, and Swamp. Oh, and Jimmy Johns at the end of the night.

Photos

Picture 1 - This is my friend Chris. It was his first night back in Gainesville from his summer internship. I was a director for this picture in the sense that I told him to drink his beer. The tip I used was - "Lock the focus." I locked the focus on his beer can. It made the background blurry but Chris and the can are in focus.



Picture 2 - This is a picture of my beer when it was half full (or half empty for the pessimists out there). I used the KODAK tip - "Get down on their level." I thought it was a cool close-up shot with my fingers in the background of the see-through cup.



Picture 3 - This is the group of friends I went out with that night. I used the tip - "Be a picture director." I gathered my group of friends so they would all fit in the picture. I did tell them to do their own interpretation. That is me in the green shirt. My friend Kyle apparently is camera shy so his "interpretive picture" was to turn his back to the camera!
