Posting from my iPad

So...

I realize that I am about two weeks late to the iPad party, but now that I'm here I feel at home.

When you watch Apple's promo video for the iPad for the first time you hear a very intriguing phrase tossed around. They state that, "for the first tine you are able to feel the Internet in your hand." and after owning this bad boy for only a few hours now, I couldn't agree more.

Don't listen to the skeptics... Sure there are some problems such as the lack of flash support, but as my favorite blogger Mark Luckie (@10000words) tweeted... "75% of the web uses flash... Then again, 75% of the web sucks."

All this done on my new iPad.... Man that feels cool to say.

Taking the stage

My second piece for my Journalism 225 class. This time we we're asked to tackle a 4 minute, non-narrated, 3 source multimedia story. Hope you enjoy.

StumbleUpon.com is only kinda a time vampire

I recently stumbled upon (no pun intended) this web site, aptly named, StumbleUpon.com from a conversation I was having with our News Editor at The Communicator.

This is a warning... DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE.

Don't get me wrong, it's one of the coolest and most creative concepts I have seen on the web since twitter. The problem though lies in the fact that once you start playing on it... you can't stop.

If you have a ton of time to spare, say over spring break or really anytime in a newsroom, go on here and get lost. It really is worth it. But beware... you will want to do nothing else but surfing this site.

The Afro Blue Experience

In an explosion of color, light and sound, musicians, actors, singers and most importantly audience members came together to create The Afro Blue Experience. I produced and edited this piece along with shooting photos.

New blog to check out

It has been brought to my attention that the Faculty Adviser of The Communicator, Jason Nix has started a new blog called "New Media Workshop."

The idea of this blog is to guide students and professionals alike through the transition that is currently happening in the mass media market. By creating video tutorials, showcasing student work (mine is on there) and linking to useful sites that can add on to his, New Media Workshop will soon become a hot spot for journalism students, instructors and enthusiasts.

Make sure to check out Jason's blog as it will be constantly updated with new and exciting information.
