Being Sick

The past week we have had beautiful weather. Which means we're emerging into springtime. I was excited; I had put my winter sweaters to the side and my winter coats. I kept out some items because Milwaukee weather is very inconsistent. I went from a big winter coat to a nice spring jacket and now I am sick. Being sick is such an inconvenience. Things that you want to get done usually don't and when you try to rest you can't because your thinking about all the things you have to do. The world doesn't stop because you’re sick. Everything must continue on. This weekend it was very chilly outside. Which probably ignited my sickness. But I will be fine since Man has created medicine for every combination of sicknesses. Until next time or until I stop shivering with sweat.

The Emptiness of Existence/ Podcast

The Emptiness of Existence

My refelction on my first podcasat:

What is existence! Existence means to be real to be true to the human brain or mind. Existence is not just life it is the realm of our mind. What is emptiness! Emptiness is the state of loneliness or nothingness. Nothing is there. The 2 seem to be contradicting each other or in mathematical terms canceling each other out. The nothingness of truth. Which is what I got from the podcast. It required me to be deep in thought and to step outside my box. It required another way of thinking which is what philosophers do. Excellent points that cant be summed up into nothingness.
What has been exist no more. Continual motion creates consciousness, it is when motion stops that existence is no more that we become unconscious and cold to the world. We become face to face with boredom. We run towards the past because we don’t know the future so we are constantly seeking the same results. Boredom is the feeling of emptiness in life. Man is never satisfied with a portion he must have whole but once whole is exhausted your're back to nothing which leads back to the feeling of emptiness. Man is a compound of difficult needs that is very hard to satisfy. Life is like a never ending chase for happiness. We think we know what happiness is but it is an illusion, life is an illusion.
I think the pod cast was very interesting. Many questions I have but for now I am content. Life is what you make it no matter what it is, illusion or delusion. Make sure to fill your existence with something and not emptiness. If your're bored seek happiness if you don’t’ know what that is run and don’t stop until you find it. That way you’ll never get bored because you’ll always have something to do….

Sincerely,

Life

Learn Out Loud

Learn out loud caught my attention because of its name. I listened to my first pod cast on this site and it was one of the most enlightening experiences I like the way the site had the information laid out. Information was categorized in a very clear format. I think you should check it out for yourself. http://www.learnoutloud.com/

PodCast ITunes

I chose to use Itunes as my podcast catcher. So far it has been ok. I'm learning more about Itunes and all its features. I used it only before to add music to my Ipod. I like Itunes because it organizes my downloads for me. I don't have to download it and then add it. It is updated for me. Itunes so far has given me no problems.

Television

While in College I realized how unimportant television was to me. I didn’t have a need. I would catch a show every now in there but my main source of entertainment was watching DVD movies at night. This helped me to go to sleep at night. Now that I have graduated I find myself wanting to watch TV quite often. I see now how television can corrupt children.
Now that we have blogging and podcasting Television will be useless.

Podcast

First blogging now Podacast. I am barley handling the process of blogging now Podcasting. The ability to communicate with no constant feedback. I guess it would be similar to talking to your self :)
I never really heard of Podcasting until I took this class. I had seen them around but never knew what it was like. I guess first time for everything. From what I’ve learned, the generations to come will be very enthused to know that education is trying its best to change the traditional style of learning. Podcst, Wikis, and Blogs are just the start.

Teaching

Social book marking
Similar to photo sharing, social book marking has the same concept, accept now we are sharing general information. We are sharing things that we find interesting or appealing to someone we may know. Social book marking is a step up from just plain book marking a page. Now we don’t have to send dead links to friends we can share from the site. I am currently trying Diggo. This social bookmarking site struck my interest because of the ability to highlight certain items on a page. Not just being able to bookmark a site but also the content that you found interesting.

Photo Sharing

Photo sharing
With the many new tools available on the web, we are able to do more than talk we can share anything from family pictures to general information. Photo sharing allows an easy way to view pictures of family friends that you cannot see on a day to day basis. The site I find to be very useful and unique is Flikr. Flikr not only lets you upload pictures to your loved ones but it also lets you manipulate the photo. Flikr allows the user to be creative. You can create anything with photos; posters, calendars, candles, greeting cards for the holidays etc. You can format them to be as personable as you like.

Blogging is cool but not for me!!!

I just can't get into blogging. I actually like talking and congregating up theories. I am a visual person/hands on. Typing after a while bores me. I just can't get into blogging. I like reading them and laughing at (those that are funny) but I don't care to comment on it.
