Make sure you know exactly what Dr. Semmes wants in the homework.

Web Pages and Such...

My favorite stumpers were without a doubt Belen's, Mary's, and Austin's. I liked Belen's because it was a secluded spot that (at least I think) few people see. Mary's was good mainly because I see that spot everyday and I think that a lot of people do too. I liked Austin's because it's not a view that many people see.

The web pages that I thought stood out were Mary's, Crispin's, and Kate's. Mary's was good due to the colors and just the amount of information that was present. Crispin's stood out because it was simple and to-the-point. I liked Kate's because the layout seemed pretty open and clutter -free.

Oh, here are the comments by the way:

Bad Powerpoints

2007-10-23T14:48:00.000-07:00

http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~csmith10/bad/Bad%20PowerPoint%20Presentations_files/frame.htm

This is the link to my "bad" powerpoint presentation. I liked Danielle's because she not only showed what not to do, but also contrasted it with what to do. I also liked Kate's. It evolved onto more of a "what not to do" presentation and was full of good information. Austin's was good too. He kept the ideas of what no to do short and to the point.

Web picture Copyrights and such

2007-09-29T09:52:00.000-07:00

Using an image that you find on the internet can be risky in most cases because you know that it is copyrighted bu you're not entirely sure whether the rights holder would become angry and possibly pursue court action. But chances are, if you aren't using the picture for profit, there won't be the possibility of a suit. An easy way around this problem is this: use pictures from the site Stock Exchange. This site contains thousands and thousands of free pictures that are up for use. If you don't use Stock Exchange, you should probably cite the site or source where you got the picture from.

Web 2.0 Comments and Thoughts

2007-09-21T13:37:00.000-07:00

Basically, the article said that in 2006, the biggest contribution to social computing and the like was made not by Microsoft or any other software or hardware company, but by the people who actually use the computers socially. People would spend countless hours creating videos by mixing and mashing bits and pieces from various sources. Basically, you and I are the ones who most impacted and changed the computing world. I think that in the coming years, it's only going to get more and more connected and diversified in terms of content and whatnot. It will certainly be interesting to see where things go from here, especially with so many people joining websites like YouTube and MySpace.

My Microsoft Word Background

2007-09-04T15:42:00.000-07:00

I've grown up using Microsoft Word, so I think that I have a pretty good grasp of the program and its capabilities. All through my elementary, junior high, and senior high school years, every paper that I ever wrote (which ranged from one page to ten) was done in Microsoft Word. I don't think that there is anything within Word that I need extra practice on. Show me how to do something once and it sticks with me.

Who I Am and Where I Came From

2007-08-23T18:36:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. My name's Christian Smith and I'm from Lubbock, TX. My interests include running, swimming, music (especially Christian punk and Christian rock with the occasional Christian hard rock song thrown in the mix), and relaxing with friends. I would have to say that some of my favorite bands include Anberlin, Paramore, Flyleaf, Fireflight, The Wedding, The Almost, Haste the Day, and Underoath. I also enjoy watching movies, mainly psychological thrillers, but honestly I'll watch any kind of movie.

I was raised in the typical Christian home, but it never really took hold of me until about my senior year in high school. On campus, I'm looking forward to getting involved in student government and The Well and RUF Christian fellowship groups. I guess something interesting about me is the fact that I could swim after a year after I could walk. So I guess that I've just grown up with water a big part of my life.

About the only computer class I took in high school was a BCIS class. I really feel comfortable around computers and I don't think that I'll have many problems with them. Well, if any of you want to email me, just use the following link:
