In Response to ‘Environmentally Social’

As a response to Derek’s post below, I too felt like it was a good heart-to-heart discussion about both issues of being environmentally aware of the issues going on and also how technology ties into this. I really enjoyed this because I felt I was able gain more knowledge from speaking to these students and [...]

Bitten by the Twitterbug

I thought this video was hilarious and pretty appropriate for this blog; a new addiction that interlinks cell phones, iPhones, BlackBerries, even WordPress! This video is a curiously accurate depiction of the recent phenomenon with twitter, a new social networking tool that targets “young, hip, tech-savvy twenty-somethings”. But now everyone seems to be on this [...]

Hello! Today I found a great place that prints t-shirts for a more reasonable price and had a couple more t-shirts printed (as deliverables and for my group member Derek); both with the back printed as well.

Synonym: Accompanied Solitude

Good Evening! Depending on whether or not we will be having the show for our senior projects, I’ll have to make sure the quality of the printing press is good enough. I’ve spoken to a friend who may be able to help me with printing some high quality shirts. Exciting times!! I’ve been researching on [...]

So far I’ve asked around and pitched my ideas to some of my friends, and I’m just waiting on them to give me a confirmation whether they are interested in assisting me with this project or not.
