It being a quasi introductory thread and everthing

a blog for the week of 2-14-10 to 2-21-10

On this week, I learned about the high Renaissance in my art history class. I read about Leonardo DaVinci, Titian, Georggio and Michelangelo. I also learned that Davici considered paining superior to sculpture, or at the very least he felt sculpture was not as skilled as painting nor did he feel writing could convey the same depth as an image and related paining to a science. I Learned DaVinci was a naturalist who appreciated line art as the foundation of a painting and and saw it as crucial to the process of creation. I read an excerpt of Studs Terkel's  Hard Times for my Oral History class.I wrote out a short speech, and created a PowerPoint for a presentation that was pushed back into Tuesday. We also covered an overview about how to operate a CDR 310 and a samsung omni-directional microphone.I accidentally created a feedback siren when I plugged in the microphone while the unit was on, and nearly busted everyone's eardrums trying unplug it. I learned how to lay tracks, adjust presets, and and record with the CDR 310 cd recorder. In my contemporary critic of art and technology class we covered meaning behind images and words, and went over how a photograph changed how people view and experience a painting. In the politics of representation in media class we covered Anthony Giddens and his beliefs about how people form their self identity.We also covered how story structure, romantic narratives, consumerism, and lifestyle shape identity.

As for my personal life, I read two more chapters of Fun Home. I watched a documentary about the making of Planet of the apes. I watched several episodes of Caveman, Manhattan Az, and I discovered a show called "Human Target" on hulu. I finally bought a PlayStation 3, and I ordered Bioshock 1 and 2. I'm planning on starting a home based business, so I also purchased an I Mac and a new laptop. next semester I'm planning on purchasing new software like I-clone and quite possibly the latest in Adobe CS technology or may just decide to forgo those expenses and get a comparable or competitive product.

Good news everyone!  I've devised a method for communication over the internet via forums...

[Darkmoon]

Seriously. I saw there was a topic, and then I read it... and realized I didn't care about his life.

Also, this is a forum, not a blog.

[Mao]

I was thinking of posting something like this:

But the last one seemed better.

[Darkmoon]

I'm a fan of the classics myself:

[Mao]

Now that you're posting, I have to say:

[bill]

guys, pay attention to me

[Mao]

[Darkmoon]

 

I have to say, we could easily just repurpose this thread.

[bill]

[Darkmoon]

Hey man, who said this was a blog post?

[bill]

[Darkmoon]

Darkmoon Firelyte is bored with the world and tired of people.

Currently listening to: P.O.D.

[Zina]

Where's the "like" option on this thing? I HAVE THINGS I NEED TO LIKE.

[Mao]

Why can't I subscribe to this as an RSS feed?  I need my updates damnit!  I need to know!  Worst blog site, ever.

The public demands a twitter feed!

Up in the FF address bar, Mao. Every thread supports RSS.

[Darkmoon]

*blink blink*

Seriously?

[Mao]

He's told me it does before, but I've never actually been bothered to find out.  I have to say though, I've never seen anything to the effect so I just assumed I was doing it wrong.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

*blink blink*

Seriously?

Really really. There's a pretty orange icon it throws up there on my machine, saying it supports RSS in an understated, quietly efficient way.

[Darkmoon]

That's awesome. Bonus for the forum.

[Mao]

The Orange RSS icon hasn't shown up for me, ever.  Which version of FF are you using?  I'm currently running 3.5.8 on windows and see no RSS icon.  Which blows, as some sub forums I might actually want to keep an eye on.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

3.0.6 on debian.
3.5.8 on XP.

Right-hand end of the address bar, next to the google search text entry box, in the address text entry box, to the left of the little "bookmark this page" star.

[Darkmoon]

I actually don't get that little icon... bizarre.

[Mao]

Me either.  Very odd.

[Darkmoon]

Must be something boxes of monkeys can see. Magical money vision... or a monkey extension for Firefox.

[bill]

the little rss box changes position if you have a different theme, on my IE7-alike theme, it's below where the search bar is

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Ooo. That could explain it - I tend to run with the default theme.
