So, as you may notice from looking at my recent posts, I've gotten back into film photos. I pulled out the old Minolta SRT201 that my mom got me into photography with 3 years ago.
I had completely forgotten how intimate it feels to use this thing. I feel so much more of a connection with the subject when I'm looking through it and focusing, and so much control of depth of field. Its wonderful.
Very expensive...but...I really love it.
Roll of film - $3
Developing 4x6s for 1 Roll - $7
Ouch.

High School Portfolio Photo
My favorite shot from my first photography class, over three years ago. Now I'm back using that same camera again (see previous photo posts)
Crazy...

Icebat
I am currently eating my favorite 7-11 sandwich, Turkey with Monterrey Jack, Lettuce, and southwest mayonaise. Delicious.Anyhow, I just got back from 4th of July vacation in the outer banks. This will be my non-class material post for the week, then I will eat my apple.
So I bought an Icebat while in NC. I saw this thing in a store and I was overcome with the urge to own it. It's very strange, but I just wanted this toy.
So I bought it, and now my life is a little better. I think he will motivate me to keep my room clean at school. My room will also look a lot cooler. YEAH!

Second Life
The director of training services here where I work has given me an assignment to research the possibilities of using the "Second Life" software as a precursor to hands on training here in the shipyard.
Apparently this technology is already being implemented at Michelin, Philips, O'Reily, and other huge companies.
This would be a great opportunity for employees to learn and practice some of the very strict protocols here in the yard, and it is much more engaging and interactive than watching a PowerPoint or listening to someone talk.
Another way technology and the web are changing the workplace...many international corporations also use this program for collaboration and meetings across continental borders.
