Last week in Class

Well, this is the last week of our Podcasting course and we have just been playing with a groovy little program. I have created a slideshow/video that you can see below:



This is my first attempt at this and I am quite happy with it given that I didn't take any of the photos. A couple of my friends now have blogs which I think is great and rather exciting. I plan to get more into the blogging side of things on a personal level soon.

I also have an avatar. She dances like me but that is probably where the resemblence ends.

Video Podcasting.

This is a short video of the people in our class for week 7. The last few weeks have gone so quickly.

Last week I was sick with a stomach virus so I am surprised that anything worked after the class last week. Thankfully I am better now - my stomach is still a little tender and doesn't like to be over worked with spicy or rich food.

My First Podcast

Welcome to the world of Podcasting.

Hi everyone

This is my first podcast. How exciting. I am looking forward to being able to hear my dulcet tones streaming through the computer. I hope that you are as excited as I am.

Trying to see if Avatar works.

Melbourne Cup

This week was Melbourne Cup. I decided that I needed a hat that truly expressed what Melbourne Cup meant to me. I decided to combine a racing and Godfather theme and come up with a horse's head. For Rob I made a Jockey's hat. Thank goodness we don't work in the same office. If we did I am sure that the rude comments would have come fast and thick!!

While you are waiting....

I have noticed that it takes a bit of time for the slide shows to load. This one is a shorter one so while you are waiting for the other one to load you might like to see this one. It is just Rob and I. A bit corny but I like it. :)

Welcome to week three of my course!

I have just gone onto the Boing Boing blog for a quick gander and this picture is the first thing that I saw. It it sufficiently gross for me to be very interested in it. I find it very bizarre but you can't take your eyes off it. It is by an artist called Rune Olsen. If you want to have a squiz yourself the link is http://www.boingboing.net/.

Last week I created a slide show based on the photo's from my class. It has a Halloween theme. I was going to change it to make it more topical but I really liked the Halloween effect. It takes a little time to load so be patient (or not).

Updated Photo

We have just had new photos taken in class as part of our next project. I think that this is a better one than the wonky one that Rob took last week.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Today is Halloween. Not that I am one for big Halloween celebrations but I did decorate my desk today with balloons and fake spider webs. I also had some glow in the dark skeletons. I would love to drive past work at night and see if there is a ghostly glow coming from my section.


It was interesting to see how many people have come past my desk to grab a lolly from my pumpkin bucket and to make a comment about my decorations.

This is what it must feel like when they decorate their houses in the States and they have masses of people come by and take photos etc.

Homework

I am here doing some homework while I wait for my next class. I have just changed the time zone in the settings so I want to see if it works.

Photo with wonky eye

Rob took this photo during our class. I look like I have been drinking. Aaarrgghh.

And the Blog Goes On

Here I am doing my second blog. I have viewed my blog and I must admit that I think my original colour scheme is a little bit, ummmm, not me. Too pink. I will have to learn how to change that toot sweet.

I am looking out the window as I type and it is soooooo nice to be out of the office - I know that I am sitting in front of a computer just like at work but this is different. I want to be here and I want to be doing this.

Rob has just made a really bad joke on his blog. It won't be the last either I fear!!

Princess Fiona's First Blog!

Welcome!

How exciting. I have entered the world of blogging! Now I can subject people other than my husband to the wonderful thoughts that populate my head.

I am actually sitting in my first class and have created this as my first ever blog. It is like ringing someone and getting their answering machine (stay with me as this will make sense). Once you get the beep and you have to leave a message you suddenly don't know what to say. More often than not you leave a garbled message and hope that you sound witty and sophisticated when they check their machine. This is the same thing. Now that I am here I am not sure what to say.

Rob keeps looking over to see what I am typing. He has gone a bit quiet on the keyboard so I think that he is trying to cheat!
