Haiku

Here is my Haiku.
and in case no one knows, this is the infamous Cabbage merchant/vendor (cosplay) from the "Avatar: the Last Airbender" series. He is hilarious, and sits mighty high on my list of funniest characters from this show. :) ("foaming-at-the-mouth" guy is my #1, though.. and Sokka is in there somewhere as well..) ^_^;
And what he has to do with "The Legend of Korra" is that there is supposed to be his next generation spawning in this new series (based in the early 1920's [ATLA based in the 1800's]). :)
So, here it is:
  "Legend of Korra;
   How Could I ever begin?
   Next Generation."
Enjoy, guys!

Live Binders, Evernote, and Pinterest.

Of all three of these sites, (though as helpful as they ALL are..), I'd be more likely to use Live Binders, because the set up and lay out is simple. It helps that when you create a binder, you can not only upload and add documents and pictures from your own files, but you can insert things for Google to search as well. When you pick any topic, Google will automatically upload a few top favored sites for you to either keep or delete. I have already made two virtual (online) binders. One for my most favorite topic of the moment (The Legend of Korra) which i Googled for pages; and the other i was toying with to see, and so i uploaded our class blog page and another tab with my own home profile page.
Evernote wasn't so bad, but just for the sake of saying so, it would probably be my last pick, because Pinterest fits perfectly in slot number two for me on favorites. :)

The Legend of Korra..... :3

The Legend of Korra on Nickelodeon! <3
here is the Nickelodeons website that features more korra stuff, INCLUDING: the first two episodes, character introductions, and so much more! :D it's exciting, especially if you're an Avatard like me!! hahah... ^^; anyways.. The first episode is titled "The Legend of Korra (LOK): Welcome to Republic City" the second, "LOK: A Leaf in the wind" and the third (which is not set to air until next saturday [April 21st] at 11am) is titled "LOK: The Revelation". There is still some speculation as to which who voices which character and where everyone fits in.. also, Dante Basco (voice of Zuko in ATLA) is set to voice a new character that is in some relation with Zuko. This leaves my brain dizzy, but fused with sooo much EXCITEMENT and adrenaline i can't take much more.. still searching for some answers, but i promise to post more the second i find it! :D Thank You for listening to my infamous Otaku rant about some amazing anime! I hope at least some of you found this at least a little interesting (as it is my newest obsession!). '^^. =3

so.... here is my screencast over my site (imagechef.com) all it is, is a neat little creative site where (if you're very creative or just like to play around with things..) you'll learn a lot about what you can do online to create some "artwork" of your own! :D

.......and sorry in advance for the bad quality when in full screen! I don't know why it's doing that....

Google Alerts: Technology.

We, in this grand age, have so much   
That we just don't know exactly what to do with.
This website that popped up in my alerts (which just so happens to be another persons blog... i think..) claims that:

"We already have the technology to send trains into space, at a fraction of the cost of rockets"

 The talk, is that apparently it's being proposed that a launch system, Startram, (if passed) will use mag. lev. trains, a 1000mi tunnel, and a superonducting cable to reach low Earth orbit; and all of this is assumingly going to cost a lot less than any rocket.

My question, though, is why do we need to send these things into space? To clutter up the outside universe like we already have done to our own planet? What is the point?

And the answer is: The world may never know... V_V,

Also:

"To build a passenger-carrying version of this Startram system, the team estimates it would take 20 years and $60 billion - which may sound like a lot, but when you consider it took almost three times that much to get the space shuttle off the ground, it's a steal. And once it's built, it would only cost $50 per kilogram to send things into orbit, compared to the current rates of $10,000 per kilogram for cargo and $100,000 per kilogram for people. That means a ticket to space would only cost about $5,000, and the designers estimate the accident rates would be on par with modern airliners."

 just one more thing to think about! :/

what I have learned from the presentations made today:

Well, from my own groups, I did quite a bit of checking up on Spezify.com.
It is as we have said, basically just a search engine for names.
From others, however, I have learned that it may very well be a good idea to set up alerts for my name (and my many nick names I have set up).
I like how one group told us of how to delete our Google search history, and another had told us ways to spot a trustworthy site to give our credit card numbers (...not like I have one anyways, but still very useful to know).
Although, I think I learned the most from my group, because there was a lot of information I was searching and looking up.
Not only that, but I had my 'teammates' presenting topics and ideas that I had somehow missed!
All-in-all, not a bad project. Granted, we were a little 'frustrated' (could of been worse, but could've also been better... '^_^) when our first prezi had frozen up and we had to start all from scratch again, but still a very wise lesson was learned for all. :)
