Zoe’s Mom found her parents’ old slide projector, with thousands of slides. There are pictures of weddings in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, pictures of missions trips in Africa, and lots of old family photos.
She dusted it off and began scanning the slides into the computer. When the old laptop started to buckle under the weight of 1000’s of scans, she called us. We set her up with an FTP account so that she can upload the photos to our server, and Zoe began searching for a script to allow easy browsing of the online photos.
I just got back this video of a presentation that I did last term. We were supposed to do a speech in <5 minutes about some library issue. I actually had to cut a lot from my original speech to get it under time. I was going to tell this story about Emily Dickenson, the famout poet, who had a small handful of items published when she was alive. After she died, her family and friends found the piles and piles of letters and poems that she had written, but they didn’t even know they existed before. If ol’ Em had locked everything up with a password on the PC, then we wouldn’t have the pleasure of studying her in first year English when doing our BA. True story!
We were marked not on content, but on how well we spoke. Basically, if we were as charismatic as Obama we got 110% — I was close but not quite there
I strayed from my bilingual theme for my second (school project) podcast. Be amazed by the illustrations I made for The B Book - - it required some photoshop creativity!
Next up, I’m making a video podcast. It might be a screen cast (which is a video of what’s I’m doing on a computer) or it might be something else. It’s not due for 1 1/2 weeks so it’s too soon to say!
Yes, it is time again for some more maths. In this Venn Diagram, the green represents places where the grass is green, and the pink represents places where the girls are pretty. Where they intersect we find Paradise City (oh won’t you please take me home, yeaaeaaah).
I dare you not to have this song in your head now.
Here’s the video in case you don’t know the song, or because of me you really want to hear it now. Or, if you are saying right now, “Oh I wanna go, I wanna go, oh won’t you please take me home”.
For my podcasting class, I made a skit with Gavin about a blind date that goes pretty horribly. I think it’s one of my funniest works! Tell me I’m right!
It’s 1/2 German and 1/2 English.
The idea is that if you are learning German then you would be able to listen to this as practice. I wanted it to be familiar enough that it would be fun for various levels of German. Zeth told me that he listened to it 3 times, and then he had it all figured out. I hope you like it too!

I have to make another one, but I don’t know what the skit should be about! I can’t do a blind date again. What do you think? It has to be banter based, so that you can understand what’s happening from either language.
