Action shot of preparedness

Here’s the link to my Five Card Flickr Story! …and here’s some background information: Okay, so my best friend and I have nicknames for each other, I call her Zambookie, and she calls me Pepito – all we do is laugh, so maybe that helps explain the ridiculous nicknames? Anyway, I’d say (and probably anyone ...

I thought it was extremely interesting how storytelling can be used as a new method of psychotherapy, although it didn’t surprise me. Even if you’re not in a therapy session, reading books is a way to lose yourself in another world, and either live through a character, or relate to characters that you feel go ...

I’m not sure what I’m going to do for my final project, but my number one passion in life has always been gymnastics, so I’m thinking I’ll probably end up doing something with that. I competed from the time I was 7-years-old, until my 8th grade year, right before high school. In high school I ...

Getting my camera back from my house in Charlottesville today, so I should have some amazing, mind blowing, visuals for you all soon!

Soo I have been thinking about some ideas to start working on for this final project. One of them is to do a spoof on the latest M. Night Shyamalan movie, Devil, which was awful. I don’t want to spoil the movie, but the fact that there actually was a devil in the movie was […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The Boston web page had some really interesting photographs, I thought the ones they had of the winter Olympics in particular were very cool. No Pun Intended. I’m not sure which sport this is, but here is a picture of a bunch of people jumping into freezing water. I never see this event in the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

http://web.nmc.org/5cardstory/show.php?id=21871 Here is my 5cardflickr assignment. I wasn’t sure exactly how to share it because the only option I saw was for twitter, but it did give me a “permalink”. So I’m hoping that it works on other computers and is not just using the cookies on my own to generate the story again. It […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I decided to use imageloop.com as a tool for my story…and here it is Skiing Slide Show

Snow… Butt-in-Snow (credit to Google images for the cell phone picture.)

The reading on Firefighter safety emphasized the importance of sharing stories. By having firefighter’s post their close calls with danger into a national database they were helping each other better prepare for any situation that might come their way. It is a great way to implement safety regulations because it is coming straight from the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

After reading the article I was surprised I had never heard of the term WEB 2.0 before. Growing up in a generation that had witnessed much of the evolution of Internet, I can certainly say it has had a tremendous effect on me and undoubtedly many of my peers. It used to be only the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I thought the Web 2.0 article was alright. It was extremely long, and I got a little drowsy along the way, but I thought there was a lot of good information in there. It’s obviously true that society in general is continuing to become more and more digital. (There are certain areas that fall under ...

During my winter break some friends and I decided to hit the slopes. Most of us have own equipment so it wasn’t going to cost us too much or take too long get started. After finally gathering everyone stuff into the same car we began our trek over towards mountains. When we got talking, I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Retelling my story using tools from xtranormal.com

It has been 3.5 years that I’ve been studying in Business but I never thought that a storytelling could take part as a marketing strategy. If a shoe is meant to help someone with heel pain, “we don’t just state … Continue reading →

First of all, I thought both of the articles were excellent. I liked how the authors from Web 2.0 Storytelling summed up the idea of a storytelling as an ”art of conveying events in words, images, and sounds often by improvisation or embellishment.” … Continue reading →

So, our first blog post is supposed to be about setting up our websites… I’m hosting my website through a friend’s server, so I had to go about setting my database a little differently than shown in class. I just had to separately download WordPress, and then use phpmyadmin to create a database/user with a ...

If you can see this then my blog is up and running. That having been said I think its crazy about how easy it is for people to share any thing they want to into the public domain of the world wide web. Of course when I say easy I mean easily accessible for people […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...
