Sometimes you Can't Win

With my presentation presented, and my programming homework puxhed back (Thank God), I was looking to watch some football. Unfortunatly, the Daddy role raised up as neither one of my kids wanted to go to bed. Next thing I know.. its 11PM.
Trying to keep 1 kid in bed is rough.. trying with 2 that will wake up and just go into your bed while you are out like a light.. whole different story.

Presentation Complete!

Well after a ton of research hours and endless nitpicking my presentation its over! I think that my delivery was pretty good as I really did remember a lot, however I thin kI leaned on my notes anyways. Realized about 1/2 way through that I think my crowd was bored so either need more interaction, or, need to have more amusing slides. I still was not 100% sure about the content of my presentation, but to fit time, I had to chop a LOT out.

Now.. onto the next presentation


EDIT- I have added the slides

1 Day Till Presentation

The perk of rehearsing a presentation is that you really get a feel for the flow.. even if you may not have all of the key points memorized.

The presentation that never ends.

I am surprised that after awhile, all of the soucres start looking alike.
But, I think the final outline is done However, I just found out that the netflix prize (which is a small part of my presentation) will not actually be awarded until Monday....
Surprise = None
Work to go = some.

I feel like a guru in a l sense as I knew nothing about this topic now I almost think that I know too much.

Perk of Grad school

One fo the perks of Grad school is getting to see famous people speak at a discount price.. in thie case free!!! :)
Got to see Kofi Annon tonight. I thought that his speech was interesting. It is amazing what a person of his stature can learn and really. the man has met presidents and world leaders and didn't have a bad thing to day about any of them really. That's some patience. He was very inspirational in saying that to this generation, we are a global community. I almost think that after I am gone, this will be true. Just perhaps not in my lifetime.

Podcasts are Now Available!

I have added a RSS feed of my podcasts from Podbean to the Blog!
Check them out and let me know what you think!!!

Creating a Google Alert

Why create a Google alert?
I got tired of looking for the new articles day after day. (well that an its part of an assignment also)
so I created this. This should help get some recent info before I give my presentation

Javascript Is Hard

I used to know most of this programming stuff. Now I need to learn it all again. Wow! its changed quite a bit but I will prevail!

First Quiz Down

Not too bad either! Now to get the rest of my Blog assignment done.

researching my topic for class

I think I have about 1/2 of my sources. the perk of this topic is that there is almost too much information on it. however having not written a bibliography in quite a long time.. that could be a challenge too.

Neat!

I added a way to post to the blog by adding a gadget to my igoogle page. I have never been a big google person but I am starting to see the perks somewhat. not 100% sure Ill move email from yahoo yet
