WEBSITE IS COMPLETE

Heres the link to my website.

It was rather time consuming for such a simple looking site but just like any computer program once you get the hang of how everything works things begin to pick up the pace.

DEVASTATION - MY HEART IS BROKEN!!

It is a sad day in my life today. I learned late last night that Micheal Richards better known as Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld, one of the single greatest characters ever created, is a racist. It wasn't until this morning that i logged in to youtube.com to find out for myself. I used to watch Seinfeld adoring his silly anticts and charming wit. I dont know if another episode of Seinfeld will ever be the same. Below is a video taken in a comedy club where Richards snaps racist slurs at a group of black people supposedly heckling him. The scene was so bad most of the crown had to get up and leave shortly after the verbal onslaught began.



I cannot beleive this... could this tarnish the image of Seinfeld ripping it from the top of my all time favorite sitcom list.

Here is a 7 minute clip of Richards on the Letterman Show giving what seems to be a heartfelt apology.

WEBSITE FINALLY COMING TOGETHER

On Novemeber 15th we have our 3rd assignment due. Up until today i was stressed out becuase i couldnt find a good flow for my site. The colours, the theme, nothing was working but today i spent quite a while with my teacher discussing possible changes to my site and i gotta say im pretty happy with it now. I changed pretty much everything from my masthead, the overall colour theme, my my text. All in all, ive pretty much finished the design phase (Created it in Photoshop) and now i just have to begin transferring into DreamWeaver. I will probably be done by wednesday of next week, so ill post when im finsished.

Heres a sample from my homepage.

It doesnt look like much work goes into a website but when you just start learning the programs it can be a huge PITA.

The top of the picture: edmonton skyline, my name, globe will all stay the same throughout each page on my site. The white part will be a spot for a picture, each page it will have a different picture depending on what the page is about. There are 5 tabs, as you click on one it will take you to that page and the tab will become big, so you know which page you are on. As you can see since this page is the home page the first tab is the large one.

The pages i will have will be Home, Education, Employment, Contact me and i think Hobbies (havent decided on this page yet).

Well thats what it looks like right now... i really like the look personally.

UPDATE - WELL SORT OF...

Although this is supposed to be a blog updating my semester to date, i dont have much new information.

I am being beat-up by my classes, pulling all nighters to finish assignments studying in between going to the gym, playing hockey and trying to have a social life (even though this year it has been anything but glamorous.)

I had one midterm on tuesday, i have another on saturday and then two next week. An assignment was due on monday, wednesday (today) and again tomororw (thursday). I have hockey tonight from 12:45 am (yes you read that correctly, just past midnight we START our game) till about 2:00am.

My next New Media assignment currently has no due date yet, but i feel behind in the class because i cant seem to grasp the program DreamWeaver (making websites). Although today im hoping my questions will go away as we are told that we will be having a more indepth tutorial on DreamWeaver today.

In all this turmoil my diet is actually staying pretty on track. I still eat quite well(healthy) with the exception to a momentary lapse monday night for a DQ hot eat and a cool treat. The other positive of my anti-social life is the abundance of $$$$$ i seem to be saving (well maybe not "saving, more like ... not-spending). I am actually doing better this year because i am not blowing my money... unlike last year - more beer = less money.

All in all i only have 181 more days of school until i am a university graduate. That number doenst even include the time off for xmas, reading week and all those lovely long weekends.

Well i better get back to my assignment, i have to finish before hockey tonight.
