The Webby Awards
First I want to say that the five nominated websites are all fantastic. Some incredible imagination and flash programming is evident in all the sites. The site that I most enjoyed was the H&M website, Fashion against Aids.
The use of video clips merged together as a background was very impressive. The background map is so much larger than the screen, so that when you move the mouse in any direction it reveals more video clips of the montage. Rolling over the video (provided you have speakers or headphones) reveals each individual message.
Again, all the sites are fantastic but this site gets my vote.

The Copyright Term Extension Act (also known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Act or the Mickey Mouse Protection Act). Basically this law extends the length of copyright terms for plus 20 years beyond what the 1976 Copyright Act had established.
"The Act extended these terms to life of the author plus 70 years and for works of corporate authorship to 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever endpoint is earlier." - Wikipedia

Blog Assignment #4: Porn and Corn
I visited the Google Trends website, but had trouble coming up with a creative search to utilize this tool. I finally decided to search these two words: porn, corn
It was not surprising that the word porn is searched far more than the the word corn. In fact, corn stayed fairly contstant at the bottom of the scale, while porn was nearly off the charts. There were some spikes in the search for porn around Christmas, but no holiday interest in the yellow vegetable corn.
On the flip side of the coin, corn was a much more popular news event then porn. Corn seems to be in the news a lot, probably due to the fact that ethanol (the future fuel) is derived from corn.
In conclusion, I have determined that porn is much more searched for than corn, but corn is more popular in the news.
amen

Assignment 3: Network Solutions Stands by Name Policy
PC WORLD - Business Center
Jan 10th 2008
Robert McMillan, IDG News Service
A company called Network Solutions is automatically registering domain names that people search for their website. People use the this site to see if a ‘url’ is free, and come back only to find the Network Solutions has purchased it. This has caused a big controversy in the domain name community.
Network Solutions says they plan to change their websites layout, to make users aware of their policy and hope to (in the future) offer the means to so that searchers can look for domains with Network Solutions being able to see it. Network Solutions says they do this to prevent domain tasting, (which is someone who grabs up a bunch of domains and based on the traffic keeps the more profitable ones.)
Network solutions says that they hold onto searched domains for four days, giving the customer a chance to obtain domains before the ‘front-runners' get them.
The article ends with the Network Solutions recommending ICANN set a .25 cent fee for domains, to protect small business and small users.

Classroom Introduction
Greetings classmates and teacher
My name is Jeremy Painter. This is my first year at HCCC and my major is Communications Arts: New Media.
I have lots of graphic and web design experience. I have built several websites with Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Fireworks, mostly for bands in Oklahoma. I mostly used Freehand for layout and design (but now that Macromedia was purchased by Adobe, Freehand is no more.) I also have extensive experience in Photoshop.
I worked at Kinko's for 5 years and managed their graphic design department (then it was called Desktop Publishing) and I have designed and created hundreds of resumes, brochures, posters, business cards, forms, etc. I also left Kinko's with tons of digital printing experience.
I have also been extensively trained in Acrobat 8.0 and accessibility. I worked for the state of Oklahoma converting their forms to be come accessible to peoples with disabilities (screen readers, etc.)
In addition to all that software, I am knowledgeable in Microsoft Office suite. I have extensive experience ProTools recording software, and the host of audio plug-ins that come with it.
I look forward to working in the new version of Dreamweaver. The last version I used was Dreamweaver 3.
