Day 10: The End is in Sight !

Today is the day everyone has been looking forward too! We willl publish what everyone has put together so far for their respective websites. Then you can go home and show it to your friends and family. I for one have been looking forward to this, and I will be working this morning to make sure everything is set up correctly. This should be a great website launch day, and after we finish posting everybody's sites... PARTAY!

Music!!

Today should be a very interesting lesson. We are going to learn about MUSIC on the computers! Music is on its own a very complex subject. There are so many different formats that music can take on computers in the modern day too. Here is a list.
MP3
AAC
OGG
CDA(CD Audio)
WAV
And MP3 has thousands of encoding formats inside the MP3 protocol.
The other major way to get Music on a computer is called MIDI, this is not for sounds in genaral, you have to specify the notes, the lengths of all the notes, and the instrument to play the notes on.
Here is a piece of software for MIDI: MidiIllustrator

PhotoShop Let me Count the Ways.....

I love playing with PhotoShop. Some of my best works of art involved images from the web, and I did cute little things like emphasizing a certain portion of the image, or changing the colouts in the image.

Tuesday 7/12/2005

This is the ATRC Summer Web Camp, StarDate Tusday 7th of March in the year 2005. I am having a good day so far. Everything is in place, and I updated the Summer 2005 Website. Check it out a MICROSFT link and an Anti-MICROSOFT link. And the top three links are all you need to get a computer up and running without Bill Gates. But then we need Scott Jobs. Computers, there is no commercially neutral option any more. Just pick PC or MAC, and then never look back.

Week 2

Well now, we made it to week #2!
I hope this week goes well and we can get all the campers to learn a little bit more about the Internet, DreamWeaver, and PhotoShop.
I know I had fun during week one.

Wow, yesterday was pretty busy

Hello,
Yesterday was pretty busy, I did not even get a chace to write a blog entry. Today should be a very interesting class about designing for a web site. We will cover more Macromedia Dreamweaver, and we will speak about online applications and scripts.

In other News:
Molson Indy Weekend Fun!!
I plan to catch the action from my TV at home. Not too much point in standing around at a crowded race track. But I already saw people heading downtown on the GO Train wearing their Molson Indy Tickets around their necks.

Journalism: A very difficult to define word

Today we taught the kids about Iterviewing, and why it is pretty darn tricky. I personally am not jealous of newspaper writers, and I know that it is one of the most difficult things to get right. Newspapers are never perfect, and viewing the news on a website is always faster than waiting for a priting press :P

Hopefully we will get down to some XHTML and web monkey goodness today as well. That's my personal favourite.
