My Classmates Blog posts, how exciting :]

Okay today I went to go comment and look at my classmates blogs and whatnot. As I was wandering through Mr.Hinmans Pageflakes page, I bumped into Will's Blog and I read/commented his post on WARPED TOUR. Goodness it had a list of all of the bands that were playing and on what days they are playing. Dude, I'm all excited now. Will's post probably helped out alot of people who were not sure about what day they wanted to go and stuff. I wanna go I wanna go I wanna gooo. :]

Anyway, after Wills blog, I moved on to Katherine's Blog and read her post about her "family". I thought that that was a very pretty and nice blog. it had lots of pictures and it made me go "awh". She had alot of pictures there, and just by looking at them you could tell how close she was to her friends and family. They brightened up her page and whatnot.

After looking through Katherine's blog, i went to Angelina's Blog. As I looked through her posts, I saw that she had made one all about a podcast that I had made. She talked about well, what I said in my podcast about band and things. She liked how I talked, "She talks at a tone that keeps you interested. It sounds like she is having a great conversation with you." is what she said. I suppose that is a good thing. It's good to know that my work is appreciated. :]

Okay, so now I went onto Rebecca's Blog and it was very pink. I read her post on Mario Bros. She discusses all of the cheats and whatnot. She tells us that she is doing her podcast on the Mario bros song. Pretty Spiffy isn't it?

As I searched some more, I found Darren's Blog. I went to his post about paper bags. Wow he talked about paper bags for quite a bit. "Paper bags are one of the most fascinating things ever." was the first sentence of his long post. It's pretty interesting to me that someone can type about paper bags for such a long time. Personally, I like them only because you can make puppets out of them. Like in the Fandango commercials.

Well, that's the end of my little blog searching excursion. Goodbye and Have a nice day!

Lisas Podcast experience

Well, Making a podcast was alright. it's not my favorite thing to do, but I guess it was okay. I like making videos and whatnot alot more. My podcast was a little too long, but oh well, it happens. It had information and stuff in it so hopefully people learned from it. I'm really not sure what else to say about my experience other than it was alright. So, that's it. Goodbye. :]

Lisa's little Podcast Adventure.

Okay so today, the assignment was to listen to a couple of podcasts that were made by other students and write about them. So here I am. The first podcast I listened to was Will's podcast.

The first couple minutes of his podcast is just a little book talk about a book called Next by Michel Creaton. It's filled with science fiction facts and whatnot.Then he talked about some new device that Microsoft has just let out. It's the 360 Elite and it apparently had 120gigs of memory. That's pretty dang crazy. His interns were "out of line" and they took a commercial break and that was a little funny. it was supposed to continue, but it stopped working for some reason. I'm not really sure why, i waited for a while to see if it would load, but it never did. Oh well, so far, Will's podcast was pretty cool. I wonder what happens after the break, I guess I will never know.

The next podcast I listened to was by Lucas. He talked about the Giants and his views on the team and some accomplishments that they have made this season. At the beginning, he interviewed Jeff and asked him some questions about the giants and what he thought. After the Interview, Lucas began talking about Pedro Feliz and Barry Bonds. Apparently, Barry only needs eleven more home runs to tie the home run record. I wonder if he can really do it. You know, if he could, I think that would pretty spiffy. Lucas also said that this may be his last season. That would be pretty sad it it was. The giants are doing much better according to Lucas, and he said he thought it was because of the pitchers and whatnot. oh also someone named Malena on the giants had hit two home runs in the same inning! That hadn't been done for the past thirty years. Lucas podcast was pretty good. I learned alot about the Giants and stuff.

After that, I listened to Darren's interesting Blog about paper bags. I had no idea that someone could talk about paper bags for about three minutes. That's pretty tough. At the beginning of the podcast, Darren began to talk about how fascinating paper bags were and how they were like little portable trees. That was a little odd, but okay. he just kept talking and talking for a bit. Then he talked about how it takes four times more energy to make a paper bag than a plastic bag. That's a little weird. They are also bio-degradable, so it can turn back into soil which is good for the enviorment. He interviewed people about paper bags, and most of them preferred plastic. I think only one person liked paper more than plastic. Some reasons why people didn't like the paper was because it rips easily or plastic carries more than paper. Darren's podcast was kind of funny and interesting to listen to.

I was going to listen to another podcast, but I don't really have time to. Class ends in just a few minutes so that's all for now. Goodbye.

My Random Blog Post About the Band Trip

Well, today's assignment is to do a random blog post. So, I decided to do mine on the upcoming music trip for the music department. It's pretty cool, we are leaving on Friday May 11th at about 8:00am. We are taking a bus down to Anaheim to compete in a music competition thingy, the Heritage Festival. Concert Band, Orchestra, and Choir are all going to compete, so it's cool that we all get to go down there. We get to go to Disneyland while we are done there, so that's pretty spiffy. The awards ceremony is even in Disneyland. I really hope we win something, we have been working pretty dang hard all year. If we come back empty handed, I will be a bit upset. Oh well, I guess life is like that sometimes. Wish us luck anyway though. We will be back at about 11:00pm or midnight on Sunday, so don't worry, you shouldn't miss us too much. Lets see, what else should I say about it. Dude I wonder if we get to play for Mickey Mouse. That would be pretty awesome. Maybe he will even play with us. Actually, forget Mickey, the chipmunks are uber better. Well, I really don't know what else to say, so have a nice day everyone!

My findings on Del.icio.us :]

Well, today in class I was doing a little searching on a website called De.licio.us. It's a pretty spiffy website. Anyway, I searched for a bit, and I found some pretty useful webpages.The first place that I found was a webpage that has alot of podcasts on it teaching you how to speak European Languages. The main ones were French, German, Italian and Spanish.Click here to go look at it. It looks very useful and I think I might use it to learn how to speak Italian. This spiffy little website can help alot of people by giving them the resources that they need to learn an European Language using podcasts. There are a few places like this, but I thought that this was the most effective. Actually, I just found one that might be better. Click here to see the new one that I found. This one has many extra ways to learn languages instead of just listening to podcasts. It offers videos and quizes and whatnot. Scratch what I said about the other one, i think this one is a little better. I tagged both of these pages because I thought that in the near future when I am trying to Learn French & Italian, this would come in handy. Maybe I could start practicing now so when I start classes, I will be a bit ahead. Now wouldnt that be cool?

After I found these really cool web sites, i continued looking for more. So I looked and I looked at other things, and now It's already 3:04. Goodness time went by fast. Tagging things on De.licio.us takes more time than I thought. You forget what you were doing. Oh well, I hope those two websites are useful to some people who are reading this. Goodbyeee. :]
