Muddiest Point

Are the HTML and XML codes open accessed? Can anyone add to or change these codes?

Week 9 Readings

This week's readings consisted of learning about XML compared to HTML. All three articles did their best to describe XML's benefits compared to HTML, but I still find that the tutorial helps me grasp these concepts a little better. I must be a hands on person. Actually, I know I am because reading about all the codes and everything continues to boggle my mind... After a couple reads though, I can see how XML is easier, especially for humans to read as their codes seem to make more sense with what they are creating then all the special letters and symbols for the HTML codes... I must admit though... still daunted by these two topics... not very into it this week :(

Why, when my cell phone has internet capabilities, does it not browse the same way the computer does... isn't it a mini-computer???

Week 8 Readings

I have never actually taken the time to learn anything about HTML before and I thought the tutorial was really fun... confusing a little bit, but I thought it was good that they had examples to try to we could kind of be "hands on" as we read about it. The Cheat Sheet will be an amazing friend to have, its nice to be able to print everything out and have it right next to the computer as we're trying different things and playing around (me anyway...)

CSS was a bit more confusing to me. Granted, I didn't spend as much time playing around with the tutorial as I did the HTML one. Also, probably because I still don't feel that comfortable with HTML and you're supposed to have at least a basic understanding of it before delving into CSS... I'm getting there, but I must comment... this weeks topic, while awesomely interesting, definitely rates under challenging =P

Muddiest Point- wk 6

What is the difference between Wireless and Bluetooth? Aren't they the same thing???

Week 7

I thought this weeks "readings" were very interesting (kind of a broken record here), but once again... the Google video was my favorite!!! I think I want to work for Google!!! I know it wasn't the whole point of their presentation all the things they do for their employees: the ski trip, allowing pets, etc... but it does really make sense that a happy environment would be more creative and forward moving!!!

Back to the point of Google operations, I think its really neat how they operate, trying new ideas and pulling them when they don't work (like the young man's blog popping up "I'm bored, etc.)...

Also, seeing the map of the world that shows Google searches helps put into perspective how vast the Internet is. We've been reading about open access, networks, metadata repositories, etc. but the Google world was just really neat to see how many people were really tooling around online...
