ReplyDeleteThis article is about pizza. It is my favorite food, and it has been since I was a kid!
I love blogging, I wish I could do it regularly. I had to do it for my Intercultural Communications class last year with Kim Weismann and it was a blast.
Being about Pizza unlike a lot of different foods pizza is a difficult food to make because of the dough has to be specifically blended to come out right.
ReplyDeleteBlogging is not one of my favorite things to do but I may do it occasionally

ReplyDeleteThe article I choose was about how doctors didn't find drugs in Amy Winehouse after her death. It interests me because of all the drug abuse there is today.
I don't really blog that much because I don't really know what to talk about really.

ReplyDeleteThis is an article about NHL enforcer Rick Rypien. He passed away last week and the cause is still unknown. The death of Rick was a huge loss for the hockey world.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/07/28/ep.smartphone.obsessed.cohen/index.html
ReplyDeleteThis article is about checking your phone frequently.
I have never blogged before and never thought that I would. I think of blogging as a way for some to have a type of journal just on the internet.
http://overheadbin.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/08/23/7448910-drunk-man-reportedly-threatened-british-airways-crew-with-glass-shard
ReplyDeleteIn this article, an 18-year old man named Tim Bradely caused a disturbance on a British Airways flight. He reportedly was continuously being served beer and wine and then started threatening the crew and other passengers with a shard of glass after he was refused anymore alcohol. He began to swear and was immediatly arrested when the flight landed 10 hours later.
I have never blogged before in my life. I have never had the interest to do it because I never knew how to access or work an account or what blog to use in general. I hope that blogging is going to be a fun experience and I am looking foward to this semester.

ReplyDeleteThis is about a 20 year old stand-out goalie rising to the top of the hockey world. Scouts have referred to him as one of the best goaltenders to have come out of Minnesota in nearly a decade.
I've never blogged too much other than using Facebook or Twitter although I am interested in exploring other options.
Pages from the Packers' special teams playbook landed on a Green Bay area street after a waste recycling truck lost part of its load. Brown County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Vogel was checking for speeders on a street in Allouez when he saw papers flying from the back of a Waste Management truck. Vogel says the paper was scattered for a half block and was creating a hazard. And when he started picking up the paper he was surprised to see pages from the Packers' special teams. Vogel figured the Packers would want to know what had been scattered, so his

ReplyDeleteI chose this article because I think it is very inspiring what this person is doing for the people affected by the drought in Africa.
I have never blogged before, but I am interested in the discussions this type of social networking will bring. I am also in a Introduction to Literature class where we will experiment with blogging as well. I think blogging is a neat way to express ideas and thoughts.

ReplyDeletehttp://www.rockyviewweekly.com/article/20110518/RVW0302/305189969/high-school-to-raise-money-for-cancer-care
ReplyDeleteI chose this article because it is one about my high school which I attended. The article explains the bike-a-thon that my school organized and held in support of cancer. Mikey Mao was one of my fellow students who came to the school in grade nine, and half way through our grade twelve year he was diagnosed with cancer. It was amazing how the entire school came together to help one indidvidual, by raising over twenty-five thousand dollars.
This class will mark my first time blogging! Wooohoo! I don't know many people who do blog on a regular basis so I have never really had an interest in taking it up, BUT IM EXCITED!

ReplyDeleteI have never blogged before. I think it will be interesting to see what people have to say about the occurences around the world. I am excited to learn how to blog because I think it will be a good way to connect with society and determine the thoughts and feelings people are experiencing.
I posted this article because I find politics interesting and I enjoy learning about the developments in democracy society discovers with each new day. I hope to have some type of future in politics.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-14651830
ReplyDeleteA Facebook story that lead to murder. It seems relevant to the course material, considering it deals with the impact of social networking in society.
I have blogged before, for about a year now. I like to use Tumblr as a blogging platform. I don't usually advertise the blog to people. It gives me a sense of catharsis while still allowing anonymity.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about how the new rule for the kickoff in the NFL. In my personal opinion, i think it is rediculous. No action after a touchdown because they kick the ball into the endzone.
Yes I have blogge before.

ReplyDeleteThis article rates cities across America on laziness. Lexington, Kentucky comes in as the most sedentary city in the United States! Based on research conducted by Mediamark Research, people in this town watch more than 15 hours of TV every week. Billings, MT rated 74 and my hometown of Denver was listed in the top 10 most active cities.
This will be my first time blogging.

ReplyDeleteI chose an article about a mother in Alaska who was convicted of child abuse. I picked it because it seems like there are more and more articles like these and less punishment, it irritates me.
I have never blogged before, it isn't something I would normally do. But I'll try anything at least once.

ReplyDeleteI chose this article because its something everyone has heard about and is very interesting to know what is going on with her.
I have probably only blogged a couple times before. I have had no interest in it but can be interesting if it is in a topic that interests you. Blogging can be used in a good and a bad way. If used for a good reason it can be helpful to many other people that can even save a life.
I will give blogging a chance and it should be fun!

ReplyDeleteThis article is about an earthquake on the east coast. It was a 5.9 quake and some of the monuments have a few minor cracks but engineers are working on fixing them right away.
This is a new experience for me since I have never used a blogging site before! Should be fun and interesting!

NEW YORK -- Former NBA All-Stars and Georgetown centers Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo will travel to South Africa next month for a Basketball without Borders camp.
ReplyDeleteCoaches Lionel Hollins of Memphis and Monty Williams of New Orleans also are part of the group working the Sept. 1-4 camp, the eighth held in South Africa.
With the NBA in a lockout, current players can't attend the camps, which gather young players from the region for on-court instruction while also providing them with life skills.
It's the first trip to Africa together for Ewing, Mourning and Mutombo since they were part of a group that gave clinics in Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa in 1994.........Miguel.R.Sansavour
http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/23/china%e2%80%99s-new-currency-policy/
ReplyDeleteI chose China's New Currency Policy because I found it interesting how the change would decrease exports and increase imports. I think this we help many other countries out.
I have never blogged before and I find it interesting the information able to read from other peoples comments but I am not one to blig a alot.
Hello, Corban Irwin here.
ReplyDeleteThe story that i have picked shows yet another step in the on-going battle for patent holdings involving samsung as well as apple. (HTC Nokia and many other cell phone makers are also battling it out in court )
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14652482
I have never blogged before, this is a choice I have made. To be completely honest most blogs I have read are pointless. Sad out reaches of people to fill a space in there life through relation to the people they follow, or are followed by. Often its posts involving the boring day to day tasks we all complete that someone thinks is somehow life changing and important. There is also the self important poster who thinks that everything they do in a day is important. (My opinion of twitter also reflects this)
But with saying that, there are many helpful blogs, that move out of the realm of everyday activity to the helpful section. I have found help through download blogs, tutorial blogs, and instructional advice blogs to list a few.
Though I have never "Blogged" I do plan to give this a good shot, and am opened minded to the idea of this class.

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/29/overheard-on-cnn-com-was-gaga-awesome-or-over-the-top/
ReplyDeleteThis article is about Lady Gaga's performance at the MTV Video Music awards. Lady Gaga dressed and performed as her alter ego "Joe Calderone" who was entertaining to some, but really annoying and kinda dumb to myself and many others.
I actually have blogged before. I found it really cool when I was a Freshman in high school. I loved to post pictures & current events about sports and stuff. After I got into Facebook and Twitter, I kind of ignored it. So this class should be interesting.

ReplyDeleteI found this article interesting because it shows how much our society is depending on technology. I see plenty of flaws with their decision, ie: books don't break and their patient's privacy, but it seems like an interesting experiment.
I have not really put an effort into blogging in the past because writing has never been a passion of mine. I admit though, I do occasionally enjoy reading well written blogs.
