Weekly Comments 12/7 - 12/11

I've been working in Dreamweaver this week and I've forgotten how to do several things when creating a website. Like how to apply background color, I know its sad lol. So I re-learned how to everything that I knew how to do. I am happy with how my website is coming along. I'm almost half way done. I want to make it the best website I've ever made. I was frustrated when I had to keep changing my layout because I just didn't like any of the ways I set it up. I want to be more creative when I make a website but I don't think i can learn to be more creative.

US military secures Panjshir Valley

I think its cool that some of the Muslim people are going to help protect the Americans against the Taliban. But I still think that we shouldn't spend so much time over there trying to change a country that obviously doesn't want to change.

Dreamweaver CS4

I actually like this version better than CS3. I mean yeah it's going to take a while to get used to it but I really like it. Except I kind of forgot how to do pretty much everything in Dreamweaver, but once I watch some tutorials my mind should be refreshed. I really enjoyed web design last year so I figured I would do some again this year =)

Same-sex marriage bill voted down in New York Senate

I wasn't surprised or mad at the fact that the bill didn't pass. It just shows how we have to fight for our rights and to keep pushing until that day comes where NY passes gay marriage. I surely won't give up and I know other people won't either. I know many people in the senate are old fashioned and that's why they voted against it but its the 21st century, there are thousands of people in the US that are gay/lesbian or bi. There are famous gay people like Ellen Degeneres and Elton John and I'm sure people in the senate like at least one of them. But I know in the future it will pass. We just got to keep fighting.

Weekly Comments 11/30 - 12/4

This week I've learned more effects in photoshop such as how to change the shadow/highlights, Apply the same filter on several different photos, how to use camera raw in adobe bridge, how to reduce noise, etc. I actually like doing photoshop tutorials. I was frustrated when i messed up a photo completely and had to re-do it all over again. But when i finished two tutorials this week I was very happy. Hopefully my website will be good and finished by the time it's due. I want to learn more about photoshop since there are so many effects you can apply to a photo.

Motorola Droid: Big Time Seller

So there's this phone called the Motorola Droid that Verizon Wireless is selling. It's a "must have" or the new "hot" item. It has a touch screen, slide–out QWERTY Keyboard, 16gb micro SD card pre-installed in it, WIFI capable and surf the net. Pretty much anything a nerd or business man could ever want in the palm of their hand. But if you think about it, how many times over the years has there been other phones that have been "a must have"? I remember when Motorola Razors were the hottest thing. But since everyone thinks its a must have they are selling like crazy. It's estimated that between 700,000 - 800,000 have been sold already. Verizon hopes to sell at least a million. Honestly, i got through phones several times a year and I do think this phone is amazing not gonna lie but i don't think I'd pay 300 dollars (since I'm not able to upgrade anytime soon) for a phone that could three months down the road break on me or freeze up a lot. I payed 129.00 out of pocket for this LG ENV3 and it freezes and shuts off on me all the time and I've only had it for 3 months.
