Tables

Right now in Web design, we are learning to make tables for HTML pages. So far, I have understood everything pretty well and haven't had any difficulties with it. We have learned things like how to space out the cells of our tables, or how to take out collums to merge 2 or 3 cells so you can make a title. The only bad thing is that these tables can get so confusing with, because you have to make sure you've closed everything with an ending tag. It's Wednesday today, and it is an amazing day. There is a light overcast, and it is about 70 degrees. Other than my concussion, everything has been going great, and I have been on a streak of great days.

Summer

At the end of the 3rd quarter I'm starting to get ancy, because I am looking forward at summer, which is in about 2 months. I don't have too much planned yet, except for Cabo, Mexico in June. That will be pretty fun, mainly because I haven't been there for a couple of years. In August we will probably end up going to Seaside, Florida. I love Seaside so much, and I wish I could live there. We will have a couple of other vacations probably, but other than that I will just be sitting back and enjoying the sweeet sweet summer time.

Dave matthews

I have now realized that my life doesn't go on with out dave matthews, and so once a week I will blog about him. His music is so diverse, and many people know him as one type of artist, and others know a completely different side. Really, his music has developed from more mellow to more alternative rock. This is partially because of the loss of their trumpet/flute/saxaphone player Leroi Moore, who passed away in 2008. He brought a different dimension to their music with solos, outroes, and even main tunes. They were really established in the 90's. They released many great songs such as Number 41, which was their "go-to-song" in 1998 and 99. They have gone from the mellow and slow melody of number 41 to the more upbeat tune of "You and Me" and "Funny the Way It Is." Last year in 2009 they released their Grux King album which has brought large entertainment to America and Europe where the have toured.

Optical Illusions are amazing

Everyone looks at optical illusions and has been tricked by the simplest pictures or series of lines. The optical illusions that I'm interested in are the video optical illusions. There is music that has certain frequency that plays while you watch different movements and shapes that make your vision swirl. My first time I ever looked at one of those videos I absolutely freaked out. I thought that I was going into a seizure and I immediately ran to my bathroom to realize that I fine. Moral of the story: read the description of the video before you watch something like that.

Color-blind proof web pages

When making my web pages I like to use lots of different, bright and dark colors. You can change the color of your background and your text. One thing I was not aware of, is that many blind people have trouble looking at websites like this. They have trouble making distinctions in between colors like blue and green. Our teacher, Ms. Goudy gave us a link to a website that lets you enter in your address for your website, and it will show you what it looks like for a color-blind person. When I saw my web page in "color-blind view" I found that they wouldn't have problems seeing and reading from my page, although many of my friends had unreadable pages. This made me realize that you should be more aware of different people with handicaps.

Images

We have been working on our Images web pages. So, far I think this is the easiest web page we've done, but there's a lot of stuff on it. I have only run into trouble a few times on it, but when I have, I knew how to fix it. We are mainly learning stuff like how to put images on your web page, and which types of images show up on the page to look in a certain way. And it's going well so far along with all my other classes!
