clothing

My idea for an interactive web application would be to download a picture of yourself onto a clothing website. This way you can see what they clothes you wish to purchase look like on yourself.

interactive web apps

I use web application for almost everything. And for the most part i have had good success. I use them to manage  my bank account, and even talk to my friends. They are all once again for the most part easy to use and everything is spelled out. All in all i have had great success.

Chargers

This week the Patriots will be traveling to San Diego to face off with the Chargers. The Patriots young secondary will be put to test against Phillip Rivers and the chargers passing attack. He has already threw for over 2000 yards this season, so the youngsters better be ready. I predict a Pats win but itll be a close one  31-27

I had quite a bit of trouble doing this exercise. I have a mac so i had to do somethings  little different than most of the class went about it. But all in all it was a fun exercise and it made my website look much better.

Ravens

What an amazing game today! The Patriots stuck out through a tough first half, to come back and win by a Gostcowski feild goal. The Patriot's defense looked better than the herolded Ravens defense. What a great win it really gives us momentum for our next game.

web site


My idea for an interactive web site would definetly have something to do with sports. I want to make a “pick-em” website where you pick who you think will win on an upcoming sports week. The winner will win prizes, which will be funded by advertisements on my website. This has always been a dream of mine because there is a lot of money to be made through websites. 

web applications

In my experience with using web based applications I have had great experiences, and some not so good. For the most part it is amazing what we have at our dispense these days. I didn’t realize how much technology ran my life until we lost power in those wind storms last winter. They run my finances, control my music, tell me where and how to drive, chat with my friends, social networks, and so on. Some really bad application like the crime mapping software I have to use for my crime mapping class, is hard and seems like it is designed to confuse people. But for the most part I have had good experiences with them.

Media


With the Internet being available to basically everyone, news is much more current and fast. Anyone with a cell phone these days can check the news simply by clicking a few buttons. Not to many people wait for the 6 pm news anymore, why wait? All you have to do is go online and quickly get the news whenever and wherever you want. I happen to be a big sports fan. I no longer have to wait till I get home every night to watch sports center. I can check scores in seconds right on my phone or laptop. The Internet has one of the biggest impacts on our countries media.

The bills


This week the Patriots are up against the Buffalo Bills. It was thought to have been a cake walk, but it was everything but. The bills played nothing like their so called “easy win” repuatation. They played good defense for most of the game, and ran the ball effectively. Overall it was a fun game to watch and im glad the patriots came away with a victory.

The big bad Bruins

In my 21 years I have no been more devoted to 1 sports team than I have the Boston Bruins. But with that being said they have done nothing but dissipoint me. I love all the sports, so do not get me wrong, but I believe Boston is and should remain a Hockey town. Which is why I believe the Bruins ownership takes advantage of us fans, and does not put the skills on the ice in order to win in the playoffs. All I have ever wanted was a Bruins Championship. Hopefully someday…….

Jet Packed

Over the past few years the New York Jets have done nothing but improve their roster by signed big named free agent after the other, while it seems the Patriots have done nothing but the opposite. In fact, its becoming harder every year for the common fan to even be able to name most of the players on their roster. But not a person will ever count Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots out. They came roaring out of the gate last week putting up 31 points and only allowing a feild goal at half time against the Cincinatti Bengals. The Jets i feel will be no match for the Patriots today which i feel will be a 28-10 victory by the Patriots. Only time can tell if i'm wrong or right.

About me

My name is Joe. I am 21. I go to school full time, and i am trying to get my degree in criminal justice. I also work full time as a custom door and window designer. I enjoy my job, and i love going to school. I want to someday work for the FBI.

Internet

The Internet has done many things to improve our world, but to me it has its biggest affect on our Education system. Sometime I like to just think about what school was like for my parents, or even their parents. Everthing they learned was out of a book, there was no way to share new material, keep up to date, watch movies, look at pictures, and so on. It would be a style of learning that I do not think I would be able to keep up with. Flash forward 30 years, and we now have the Internet, and it is constantly used in the classroom. First of all basically any book you find on the shelves, you can find and read on the internet, if not then you can buy it on line and it will be at your house is days. If a teacher is struggling to make a point or come up with an example, they can simple go online and pull up a video of exactly what they are talking about. There is new material all over the Internet, being updated constantly. Everything is up to date, I wont say always accurate but on whatever you are looking up their will always be many sources. If a student has a question, they can email their teacher, and maybe get an answer over the weekend, instead of having to wait. There are thousands of examples on how the Internet has changed our education system, and for me there are more positive than negative.
