I ran into a chain link fence. It hurt, as I bled and needed to get stitches. At the hospital, the doctor's and nursing staff were very friendly. That is why I enjoy getting hurt, the staff there, is really fun.

I was bored last evening so I had decided to have a few drinks, and watch The Beatles, "Yellow Submarine". The movie, as I have watched it many times before, was colorful, and, trippy. I want to see if the "linking", is working.

What News Corp doesn't want you to know about MySpace: Condensed edition - Valleywag

MySpace has spawned an incredibly successful twist on the age-old art of self-promotion, allowing--even encouraging--the marketing of everything from bands to businesses on their site. Essentially, they've opened up a channel through which to solicit and promote everyone and everything, most importantly the individual. The whole site is, in essence, a marketing tool that everyone who registers has access to. Users constantly receive spam-like messages from said bands, business, and individuals looking to add more "friends" (and therefore more potential fans, consumers, or witnesses) to their online identity.

Another school year is upon us, and with that comes two great new issues of Eye Contact! We will be holding an open meeting this Wednesday, September 13th in the Greensburg Room on campus. The meeting begins at 7:30pm, and there -may- be donuts there.

The meeting is open to anyone interested in helping out with the magazine. We're always looking for help--and since the majority of our editorial staff is graduating in the Spring, we could use some dedicated folks to take over for us. At the meeting, the current staff will talk about their roles in the magazine, as well the judging process that we go through to select entries.

Hope to see you there!

This definently is all new to me, guess I have a lot to learn if I want to become a journalist. I guess I am just baffeled as to realize how far communication has come and where it will go in the future, something I had really never opened my eyes to before.

Five rules for building a successful online community

I'm not saying that you should follow slavishly in my footsteps, but I assure you that a forum you build (or rebuild) in accordance with my rules will be more popular, easier to manage, and more profitable than one that doesn't follow them. These rules -- and the software that helps enforce them -- are the driving force behind hundreds of popular and profitable discussion-based Web sites.
