Apple Tablet Response

I am not a Mac user. I have always had a PC and that didn't change when I came to college even though, being a graphic design major, a Mac would no doubt be very useful. I feel that this article was written through a very biased perspective. I also thought that the article was incredibly boring and hard to follow. The only thing that I got out of reading it was further proof that Apple computer users think that these machines are the best computers ever. But good for Steve Jobs for being so successful with Apple. The man is making more money probably than I could ever dream of making, and this article made me decide that if I was going to invest in the stock market I would buy stock from Apple.

Mozart Had Crazy Hair

...but I can still support Mozart's crazy hair because at least HE wasn't carting around an 80 lb wig on his head. I was thinking, and I decided that if really heavy wigs were in fashion today, instead of making some poor person walk behind me all day to help me hold it up, I'd just prop it up on a stick and put the stick in a roller skate so it would just roll behind me. And maybe instead of wearing a wig that was shaped like a ship, I'd wear one that was shaped like a giant bowl. That way I'd have something suitable to catch the dripping wax in when I went to see Mozart's shows. But then I'd probably notice that Mozart had enough energy to flail his arms around for hours because he wasn't straining to carry a child-sized mass on his head, and I'd ditch the wig and let the wax burn, because it would probably be more comfortable.

Thoughts on the first class...

I don't think I've ever smiled so much on the first day of class. Everything that came out of the professor's mouth was hilarious - probably because I've never had such a blunt and open professor before! I'm looking forward to learning the significance of some of the "weird" videos we previewed on youtube, and shock people with all of my knowledge.

However, the fact that we need to make videos is terrifying me at this point because, while I know how to work a video camera, I've never delt with editing movies before. It sounds like we're going to learn a lot of cool special effects though, and hopefully I'll be able to get the hang of it! I'm a little nervous about having to get up and perform in front of the class...but I'm sure most people are so at least we'll all be in the same boat.
