What's on my mind I own a ps3 but i am really getting bored. the only games i do play is metal gear solid 4, call of duty 4, and grand theft auto 4. what i like about the ps3 is that i can get videos, pictures, and my music and import them to my ps3. the only games im really interested that are coming to ps3 is killzone 2 and god of war 3. but i hear from my friends that the xbox 360 is better. they say that the online service is better and it has better games than the ps3. i like the games gears of war and halo. the negative thing about the 360 is the red ring of death. so what platform is better?

Classroom Life,
What's on my mind As senior year comes to a close I realize how much of school I will miss. Knowing that Monday thru Friday you have school and knowing that you will most likely see your friends. Now that the year is up I worry on wether my friends and I will stay friends. I can only hope as much. As for classes I am definitely going to miss web design. I believe it was by far my favorite class throughout high school and i’m not just kissing butt with that one. Mr Melito is an awesome teacher and I have certainly learned a lot from him. I hope to go to college for web design and have it be a career. I am certainly going to miss high school. Especially the classes that I love taking. But who says I can’t return? I might come by for a visit. I am sure Mr Melito is ‘excited’ about that haha.

What's on my mind I came to Citrus High as a new student this year but I wasn’t really looking foreward to anything but graduating. I still tried my hardest at everything that I did, even though by the end of the year my senioritis started kicking in and I didn’t feel like doing anything. I made a really good friend named Hanna, and I kept my old friends back home- the ones who really matter. I also had a lot of really great classes this year.. One of which was Mr. Melito’s Web I and II class. I really got into webdesign because my sister is a professional web designer and I was interested in knowing a little bit about what she was doing. I soon found out though that I am really good at designing, and although I still don’t know how to make a table… I know how to use the copy and paste method, lol. I came out with a lot of really great websites and a clear understanding in webdesign.
Although it feels like I just got to Citrus, I am still looking foreward to graduation and whatever lies ahead in my life. Good luck to everyone next year! Congrats class of 2009! WE DID IT!

Cool Internet Finds Big Huge Labs is a cool website to use to create different objects or looks with your pictures. In my opinion, one of the coolest tools on big hugh labs, is the Palette Generator. You upload the picture that you have chosen to the website, and use the generator. It tells you the colors that are in your photo.

I have seen through many different websites, that the Warholizer tool has become very popular. So you don’t know how, or don’t want to take the time to actually create one. This website has it.

The website has many many more different tools that you can use to create effects to your pictures.

Classroom Life Wow I cant believe its the end of the year already, it came so fast. I have been in Web Design the whole year, starting with Web Design 1 then ending with Web Design 2 and I honestly loved it. Last year this time when I put Web Design down on my schedule just to fill a spot, I had no clue about a web site and what all it takes to make one. I really thought it would be boring, pointless and easy. But when I got here I soon found out that it was definately none of the above. Web Design started out very challenging for me and I hated it, you had to pay attention to every little detail, it was very frustrating. But once I got the little things down, and I was showed a bunch of shortcuts and DREAMWEAVER! it became a piece of cake and lots of fun. I realized that with the things you learn in Web Design, you can really do some cool and interesting things to a Web site. I have the most respect for someone who has the patience to sit down and make one. After learning the things I know now, i will probably use some of those things in the future just for fun or something, but trust me I will NEVER look at another Web site the same EVER again.

Classroom Life This last semester in Wed design II we have been working out of “the web collection revealed” book. In this book there are chapters with different work to be done on macromedia Dreamweaver 8. Adobe Dreamweaver (formerly Macromedia Dreamweaver) is a web development application originally created by Macromedia, and is now developed by Adobe Systems, who acquired Macromedia in 2005. We work on making a web site for a spa called the striped umbrella, and all its links. Each chapter gives you step by step instructions on what to do and how to do it. We will soon take the Certification Exam for Dreamweaver and hopefully by the end of this class we will be certified in this field. When I leave this class I will be skilled in making my own websites by scratch and also editing web sites.

What's on my mind These words keep sticking in my head everyday as I walk my final days down the halls of Citrus High School. Some people are more than happy to leave this place, and then others [like me] are not so happy. But I have to take the positive in perspective…I have learned and grown so much. Not to mention made so many friends and great memories. I think that my web design class will help me a lot in my future, also. I’ve learned everything from the ground up and all the new tricks. I discovered some awesome sites that help with any kind of designing. I learned about new software that can help me accomplish certain tasks without too much effort, how to manipulate images into something new and how to use different web applications for cool effects. All and all I do believe these will be some of the best days of my life.

Cool Internet Finds Feeling slightly unacknowledged with a personal D.I.Y. operation? Instructables.com is the place to go. It has an multitudinous variety of “how to” videos and photos. It has vivid instructions on anything ranging from agriculture to geeky tech. I don’t know about you, but I think an instructable for a catapult that shoots thumb tacks at unsuspecting victims is pretty impressive…
