A lyrical view of life on earth

For this weeks TED talk Frans Lanting's "a lyrical view of life on earth," stuck out to me. I'm going to school for photography and in this presentation this photographer for National Geographic puts together a slide show of pictures that he has taken on one of his journeys. I read some of the comments that other viewers had posted and its easy for me to agree that photographic journey through time is much more enjoyable and I think it is much more comprehendable. The music in the background is rather distracting though.

HTML Experience

In the fifth grade my class was required to make their own web page. We learnt some basic HTML codes, color codes, nothing to fancy. Our pages just consisted of different lettering styles, colors, fonts, page breaks, and it was information on ourselves. I have pages of notes from back then but I'm not all to sure where they are now or what program it was that we used. I enjoyed making my own web page and am excited to become more familiarized with it again.

War and Peace

In all honesty I hate discussions like this one. I'm not all up to date on what is going on in the world. I'll read through the newspaper and pick out the articles that catch my eye, but talks of this nature have no interest to me. I know this is mostly due to what little I know, and I don't quite understand what the heck he is talking about. I need things to be dumbed down when it come to the government and their tactics because they just don't make much sense to me. I don't believe in war however. We all live on this earth and need to share it's resources with one another. I don't think that killing or violence is a way of lending a hand and helping out. The U.S is power hungry, we have the most out of anyone yet we keep wanting more.
