This is my slowly, evolving website for our course. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop and Hans to ask me, why are you still behind?

Technological Guru

I am starting to have a hate-hate relationship with the computer. Except my daily diversion into Facebook Fairyland where I water people's computer generated gardens and life is peachy. (The application even removed wilt status which means no ones garden can be penalized for wilting)... I am starting to loathe even the sight of my anicent dell, a pale alabaster tannish color that I have dreams of throwing wrenches into. Tonight, I attempted to do a screen shot of one of my yahoo contact groups for class and it ran down the whole communications page, overlapping other instructions on the page. I finally got an image of the group contacts which was mildly sufficient. Neither screen shot or select all would show a vertical list of my group contacts. Tonight in Judy Lombardi's Literacy class we had to do a four corner human survey which meant we had to travel on foot to the part of the room where our answer was.....stand under the post it note....strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree.....the question was....does computers hinder our academic growth?.....I moved to the strongly agree blob of the room and circled the floor space with a few bespeckled aging teacher wanna bes with flints of gray in their hair. I am starting to feel hinged to the computer. I wish John Erickson would give us colored pencils and a giant poster size drawing paper and we can manually illustrate all of our intentions for this techno driven class. My alter ego is Hunter S. Thompson or Sam Shepherd,, hiding in a corner writing a great book or play. Sam Shepherd used to manually write all his stage plays on a notebook in a corner before they were typed out. I am shrinking from the technological age yet I find myself up at 2:00 a.m trying to integrate into the binary culture with a neurotic sense of doing my duty yet still a vagabond on foot leading into another direction until I reach Hetch Hetchy and find myself smelling herbs with John Muir.

When I tried to do a screen capture of my email

for class, it didn't work. I followed the instructions for "Windows." When I did it on my my space for practice, it worked. I was still able to copy and paste my bcc email to my webpage under communications for SED 514. I hope it looks correct.

This is my visual instruction for 30 Years War Leaders 1618-1648

This is a Rotational Slideshow of Leaders of 30 Years War

Eventually I will link it to my home site for SED 514.
