pandora&Lastfm

Today we learned about Pandora and LastFm they are Internet radios I knew about Pandora but wasn’t aware of LastFM I downloaded both on my iphone. I liked them both a lot they are both similar. They both play the music you want to listen to and there is an option for song that you don’t like and won’t play again on that station. Its pretty cool I can say i am a big fan now I don’t even use my iPod I use Pandora or last fm instead its more chooses and easier way to find new artist of similar music your interested in. it’s a easy way to explore new artist. Music to me is a part of life music tells a story that we can relate to sooner or later it mends hearts all over the world and make us feel better when we are down. Pandora and last fm are similar because they both play good music last fm plays a little slide show as the music plays Pandora just has a regular player for theirs. Last fm takes a bit longer to load than Pandora des that’s not cool Pandora loads real quick with rarely any commercials unlike last fm it had video commercials, which frankly I didn’t like. But both are good sites it has their ups and downs but what sites don’t nothing is perfect but if I had to chose o would go with Pandora I use it mostly everyday now I use last fm also but just not as often as I do Pandora. I think everyone is class liked it to and have became big fans of both sites i am sure some liked last fm more than they did Pandora and some liked Pandora more than last fm but no two people are alike and not everyone likes the same music. They both offer different thinks last fm plays the same music every time starts with the same song every time and Pandora doesn’t it mixes it up a bit its shuffles I guess I liked that about it though. I will continue to use these websites its better than paying for satellite radio this way u can only play what u like.

writing center expierince

My writing center expirience helped me put together my essay it helps me get more structure that I was lacking and more order in my essay because it was everywhere. At first she read my essay out loud and asked me about the video and I explained and she wrote what each paragraph should have. She also helped me think of ways to start and end my essay I was lacking my first paragraph and my concluding paragraph. The session wasn’t very long it was very helpful yes it is something we al think is useless time to go but in the end it something that helps us improve out assignment. Every essay is different and we get different feed back in all of them I wouldn’t change a thing in a appointment because it was what I expected and what it should have been I really don’t have any complaints except being so dam booked all the time but besides that it’s a great addition that the school offers. We all have potential to make our papers great and they help us get there. I also liked that they go through the whole essay and give us ideas on how to improve it and make it sound better. Every time I have gotten a different tutor they all have something different and different learning stiles on how to teach us on better essay skills. But in the end they all get the job done and we all are satisfied walking out of the writing center and turning in a better paper than we would of have if we would of not gone. It has helped me improve and learn new ways of writing and being able to describe without sounding or getting boring. Making an essay short but sweet making it get to the point without dragging it way to much I know I will be going back that way I learn more as I go and eventually I wont need to go but until then I will see a tutor for more essays to come for my collage English classes.

commenting on others blogs

Today we read and commented on two of your classmate’s blogs. I personally because i am kind of insecure about my writing. I’m sure my other classmates probably felt the same I wasn’t expecting anyone but the teacher to read my blogs. I was a bit nervous about reading my comments just because I was a bit blunt in the comments I left. We all have different writing styles that for sure. They were so many blogs to chose from it was hard to chose one I think we all stuck to commenting in our groups blogs or something or someone more familiar wouldn’t want to offend anyone right? But criticism helps improve our writing because if everyone would to say its great when it really isn’t that won’t let us improve in our writing by not knowing what we do wrong. This exercise helped a lot of the students better they’re writing criticsing a friend is hard but it got done and it turned out to be ok and we all befitted from it. I chose the fake email to a friend to comment on, on both of different classmates blogs because it was one of the first blogs we all wrote as time goes by we all improved I think.

timeline

Today we got into groups and did a timeline of our chosen vblogs for out essay. In some way it was a lot of help because it’s a way of brainstorming and writing down the most important part we remembered of the vblog. It helped me by hearing others of my group member’s timelines because some of them put more detain into their timeline and showed me that some details should be added to the timeline the smallest detail helps a lot. The whole class period we discussed the vblog we all chose no one had the same one everyone’s was different so it was interesting hearing the different stories the vblogs told. These sort of exercises helps everyone in different ways we all benefit from them and learn new ways to beat that writer’s block we all get sometimes. Its good to know different ways just because some are easier than other sometimes ideas or important small parts get forgotten and remember when looking back into your brainstorm forms. It’s a good way to start off before starting a rough draft. It sure made my writing experience a whole lot easier it is easy to write just anything but when witting a very detailed description of a video it gets hard. This exercise made it alot easier for everyone well at least it helped me a lot

robotikmusic

As he waives and introduces himself as robotnick. Alone in his room with a pair of ray ban sunglasses, He’s a guy what looks like mid 20”s curly longish hair with a five o’clock shadow and what seems to be a British accent. Little nervous as he eats his tomato soup but it sizzling hot he eats it very carefully. As he takes a bite of bread and wipes his mouth carefully with the palm of his hand as he talks about his second upcoming album as he shows his first album “pleasant square” and turns into talking about his plans for the day. Those plans are involving grocery shopping and a gig he has that night. As he takes another bite of bread he closes off noting his head up and down as he repeats buh bye buh bye numerous times and lastly takes one last bite. Closes off. Basically this video was just an attempt to sell his music who does that is he that desperate. I guess he is using every social website to advertize him self through the video he takes the camera with him everywhere for that day everything he did had to do with music yes he seemed like a cool guy but when he was opening and closing his video in the end he was wearing sun glasses maybe he wanted to look cooler or maybe he was a bit insecure of himself talking into a camera in a empty room. I choose robotnik vblog because it was a lot more interesting than the other videos I had encountered and who doesn’t like music selling it or not everyone enjoys a good tune. Maybe it could of been a bit more interesting and talking about more about himself but music is probably his life and one of his loves. Maybe you tube can help him make it someday why not soulja boi tell em’ did it why can he right? If your willing to put yourself out there like that more credit to you because not everyone has the guts to do that either your to embarrassed or care way to o much of what others think and sometimes you got to do what you got to do to make it.

anthropological intro to youtube.

An anthropological introduction to You Tube by Mike Welsch was interesting a long video. A lot of things about you tube I was aware of. You tube brings a lot of people together I was aware it was that popular and how it affect others and changes peoples lives sometimes. It’s practically a lifestyle for some, its real reality TV. A lot of people make vblog that talk about they’re day to day life a lot of people fallow them and can relate to them. Some people have became famous over you tube like soulja boi tell em’ for example his music video and dance because a craze that everyone started making videos doing the dance all around the world he eventually because a platinum selling rap artist. Other videos get really popular and he talks about some of them a lot of them were funny and I wasn’t even aware of. You tube is more interesting to me than ever there is everything on you tube different kinds of people come to gather and make videos of them selves they put themselves out there for everyone to see they talk into a small camera not caring who sees them they just let their feeling outs and say what they have to say I don’t know if I would be able to put myself out there like that. You tube has more view than actual TV a day its crazy how that is even possible. Why not only is you tube a new way in communicating but it’s a good way to learn new things you tube has tutorials on anything you can think of its amazing really. How one video can get so popular so easily i am sure the one that makes the video doesn’t expect that or has intentions of even trying to be a you tube super star. The cool think about you tube is that it is so real nothing is censored and its semi appropriate I don’t think I have ran into an um appropriate video on there but i am sure they is. You tube isn’t just an Internet sensation it’s also a lifestyle and a video journal were you could rant about anything anytime for the world to see.
