Book of Blogs

"Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks From the Wild Web"

........So apparently a New York Times's former Web critic, Sarah Boxer, recently compiled an anthology of blogs from 27 bloggers on the web.

27 bloggers who I guess she deemed ultimate and masters of the world wide web.

Now "Ultimate" is a pretty hefty word to be used, and very presumptuous, which makes me really want to at least borrow if not buy this book so I can find out who the 27 bloggers are.

Book of blogs....very contradictory...yet very curious.

Ahhh......

Ok, so I really didn't keep up on this blog. Been real lazy busy. For that I apologize, to you and to myself. However I've been bookmarking a ton of stuff that I've read that I wanted to write about...BUT I'm not home right now so I don't have any of my bookmarked links with me.

So be on the look out for a post from me later today =]

Spreading My Wings

After spending a couple days to wind down from finals week, I've decided that I'm going to continue writing in this blog. I'm going to change a few things though.

One thing for sure is that I'm going to expand my focus from blogging about social networking to the broader field of overall IT industry. This will allow me to have a greater amount of topics to talk about and also give me a good opportunity to keep up with the IT industry as its going to be part of my future professional life.

Since my ITEC class for this blog has officially ended, I'm going to have a significant drop in readers. I will need to be more diligent about promoting this blog. Aside from my interest in the IT industry, having actual readers is the next highest incentive for me to write this blog. I have to say its one of the biggest ego boost one can feel, and with me being on winter break I will have the chance and time to actually spend time to promote this blog.

That's about it. Oh. I'm on my last year in college and are looking for internship opportunities in the IT field. I already applied to some places but the more the merrier! So if anyone can help out that will be great!

Sweet!

Intermission

Last blog post for the semester. At least last one for me till finals are done. Not too sure what this blog is going to become after final, but one thing is for sure is that I will continue to write in it. I might move all the social networking stuff onto another domain name though. Not too sure yet, but I'll keep you posted if I do or do not.

Thank you for everyone that came to my blog, and hope you will continue to come. I think I will continue with at least one entry a week.

A conversation I overheard yesterday during lunch sums everything up pretty well. 3 older gentlemen around their 40s to 50s were talking about work, and it lead up to them talking about technology. One of them marveled how incredible it is that the internet didn't even exist when he first joined the workforce. Now he can do just about anything on it. Another said something along the line that he didn't even have a cell phone, pager or computer till 1996. The third chimed in, "everyone is on the internet these days, it's so much easier to get in touch with people." By this point their food came and they moved onto another topic, and I finished eating and left. But not before jotting down what they said on those red chopstick paper pocket wrap thing.

Actually that didn't really sum anything up at all lol, but that conversation gave me a good perspective on everything I learned this semester. Technology is changing so rapidly these days, steps in improvement aren't introduced year after year now, they're accomplished each day if not less. It's a marvelous time to be in we are, with social networking we can not only watch but participate in this era. It's great.

And that's that. Good luck on everyone's finals!
