3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

My 3 day weekend was fun because of all the things I got to do. The first night, Friday night, was really relaxing because all I  had to do was relax and watch my favorite TV show I am currently watching, Supernatural. I love this show because of all the action and how mythical creatures like demons and angels come to life. On Saturday, I was way busier because I got to go back to my favorite camp, Camp Naish, and help perform the new brotherhood script for a time estimate and right after that I got to help perform an OA Callout Ceremony for a troop in Trails West district. When I got back from camp I went immediately to a BBYO(Jewish Group event) with my friend Dean and Louie and got to do crazy things like sock wrestling. What sock wrestling is is a competition between two people to get the opponents sock of before he gets yours, I got to the championships and lost to my friend Louie, who is really strong. On Sunday, I went home and watched more Supernatural and this continued all day Monday.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree or disagree.

If images are on the internet they should be "free game".


I highly disagree with this statement because some photos people make are really hard to make so you would be stealing someone else's work. Also, if you believe that every photo is "free game" than you have  no clue how to make a photo yourself and wouldn't have that skill yourself(Photoshop). Some images although are alright to copy because they are taken by professionals who already have copyright laws on there photos because it is there job. These photos usually turn out looking awesome and are great photos to use on what you need. How you can tell if it is a professional photo is by researching the author of the picture to make sure it is already copyrighted so you are not stealing someone's work.

Reflect on your resume website.

My resume website was awful because I didn't have my nav bar sticking because I didn't know about it. Also, I feel like I totally flunked the project because I am an awful coder and my grade was a very low C. This class is a very fun class but I don't understand some of the key points that a student must know in order to be able to succeed. If I got another shot at this website I would have done a lot better because I would have used my time more wisely. When I originally finished this website I felt pretty good about it but at the end of the day I still was missing key features and got a bad grade to hugely affect my overall grade point average. I need to learn from this complete failure and have to make a better website in the future in order to excel in this class and life. I will make sure to add some "dazzle" next time so that I can do better grade wise and make myself not feel like a complete idiot. I will make sure also to make a better color scheme and have better information the teacher will enjoy. Hopefully next time I have to answer I question like this again I will be more positive about my experience.

What's the coolest thing you've learned in Web Design so far? Why is it so cool and how can it help you in the future?

The coolest thing that I have learned in Web Design is how to code information into your website. I think that this is cool because since I know how to put information into a website I can inform people about topics that I feel are important like Doctor Who or background information about me. This benefits me in the future because it allows me to make useful websites like my resume to be more in control of job opportunities. Also, this is good because with being able to write information I can campaign fro a political position or make people more aware of issues like STD's.

Define 'User Experience'. What does it mean and how does it relate to web design? Explain yourself.

The definition of user experience involves a person's behavior, attitudes, and emotions about a particular product, system, or service. What it means is "what is a persons reaction to your website?" Are they learning about you and having fun while doing it? This relates to web design because without are websites being used by users are websites would have no purpose. For example, in class we are starting to make a resume website. This is helpful because this allows future employers and colleges to know more about us while not being bored just reading are credentials off of paper. It allows us to be different then other appliers in a positive way that are applier will like to see. We make websites for users to see and have fun with and without user use we would have no point in making websites like are resume website.

What is a resume website? What do people put on resume websites. Spend about 5-10 minutes looking up resume websites and what they are used for. Explain what you find. Include an image of a resume website if possible.

A resume website is a page created by a person looking for a job to show people his credentials more easily then with paper. A option that the user has when creating a resume website is to show former awards, job experience, profession, opinion on certain issues, and extra curricular activities like coaching. This is helpful to people that are looking for someone to hire because it allows them to see a persons credentials more fun than everyone else's resume and make the person hiring know more information about the person that's job seeking then a regular resume displays. I saw when researching that a resume website usually consists of useful information that has fun interactive activities that teach you more about the person the websites about.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

Spring Break is going to be so much fun because I get to go to represent the school and go to chess state! I am looking forward to this because it is the first time I ever have gone to state. I am practicing in order to do the best I can in the tournament. I also get the benefit of going to comi con at Bartle Hall this Sunday. I am looking forward to this as well because I get to see lots of cool Doctor Who stuff and pokemon art. There will also be some amazing actors that have acted in Doctor Who and lots of cool costumes. The rest of break I will probably just do my scouting work and sleep in.
