The meaning of Netiquette

Netiquette is the rules to behaving online. you need to be respectful and polite even when you feel like the person your talking to does not deserve your kindness. If you decide to be rude to someone online it not only affects the other person feeling wise, but what you but online out there for the world to see can affect you too in the long run. It can come back to haunt you and you will regret it. A good example of using Netiquette correctly is when you see on Facebook or any other website, that someone is getting bullied, you either tell an adult or tell the bully that they are not being nice and that everyone in the situation should just calm down. An example of poor Netiquette is seeing someone being hurt and not saying anything or being the bully yourself. its not something to be proud of t=it can hurt more then just one other person including yourself.

Copyrihgt

To me copy right is something that everyone takes very serious now a days. Most people don’t really think that if they find a picture on the internet that they can just clam is as their own without having to do anything but copy and paste. After reading an article i have realized that there is only one way that you can use something for yourself that is not yours. You must as permission and site your source. I know it seems like a lot to ask someone if you can use their song or if you can use a photo they took that you love so much. You must as if you can use it because it is against the law to do that.

Copyright Case: Vanilla Ice vs Queen & Bowie

In 1990 the famous song "Under Pressure" was the beat to another well known song "Ice Ice Baby" Vanilla Ice had taken the beat to the song changed the words and thought he would have a hit song, till people caught on. The case was never brought up in court but Vanilla was forced to pay a extreme amount of money.

United Kingdom Glog

My Country

So I know this might sound weird but I have this weird obsession with anything do to with the United Kingdom! I know weird right? well in school we had to do a project about a country and i of course picked England! I had so much fun with this project. My favorite part was getting to pick the places we wanted to visit. i already knew a few places because i am a freak about it, but i loved seeing new places like the "Alexandra Palace", which is best known for London's warp tour. It was kinda hard to find out history about the United Kingdom though, just because every website i went to had different information or had nothing to do with England at all. I loved getting to show the class about this country , because again im in love with it! mostly because of its music background and the place itself. i think the strongest point for me in this project was showing my visiting places. When showing the places i wanted to visit i had so much fun because i wanted to talk about it, i wanted to go there and i want to see everything there.

Just why?

Okay guys so lets see first we had the ipod then the iphone. now we have so many we cant even keep track of them. there are at least 10 different versions of the ipod and 6 different versions of the iphone and then of course you have to get your case that suits you am i right? Don't get me wrong when i say i want an iphone but the amount of different kinds is ridiculous! Now the case... its wonderful you can show it off say you have to coolest one things like that. Today i read an article about a case that makes it so no one will want to take your phone and use it without asking or just take it and play games on it with out you knowing about it. introducing the lobster case! WHAT!!! you heard me right! there is now a case that looks like a real life sized lobster so no one will want to touch it. i honestly laughed. like why would anyone want that? its so unnecessary  someone had a little bit to much time on there hands. am i right? The inventor Gorham also wanted to show that this case is more of the fact showing your different from other people when you use this iphone case. I dont know but i mean if i had an iphone i would so use this case! Here's the link so you can check it out!

Christmas Time!!!!!!

            Oh my goodness! Christmas is almost here! I love this time of year! It’s always the best. Not only do i get to leave school for a while and spend time with family and friends, but i get to just have fun and relax and not have to worry about the next test, or quiz. Christmas is one of the most important holidays to our family. With my mom we always go to my grandmother’s house and eat as much as we can watch football or whatever is on television, and dance and sing along to music. We always have a tradition there, because our family is catholic we always go around braking bread for each other and telling each other what we hope happens to them in the upcoming year. Another tradition at my Grandmothers is all the younger kids get to open gifts, while the parents sit down and have a nice cup of coffee and to catch up with each other. I of course get stuck watching the little ones so they don’t fight over things, but that’s fine by me because i love seeing all their faces light up when they open their gift.

           Now for my dad’s side of the family, now my dad he’s a party guy and will do anything to have a good time. At his house everyone comes over and brings whatever food they decided to make that year, and all the kids just run around dancing while all the adults just pretty much party, it’s really crazy but that’s my family and i wouldn’t trade them for the world! One thing we always do is have a countdown to Christmas at midnight, everyone just pretty much screams the numbers as they countdown till Christmas morning. It’s always fun because afterword’s everyone runs and jumps and hugs each other. A tradition we have with my dad is that after everyone leaves and we are stuck cleaning up we always sit at around 2 o’clock in the morning and open one small gift early. He never lets us open a big gift, but what can you do? I love this time of year because i love my family we are all crazy and messed up but we like it that way and love to be crazy and messed up together!!!!
