All Done
The final presentation went very well I thought and I can say that I have come a long way since the beginning of the class. As I look back this class was extremely helpful with creating my online identity and making myself known to the world. I would recommend this class to anyone that is interested in technology.
On a lighter note that drives the point home, during graduation, every speaker...
Final Presentation
I am getting ready to head to class for my final presentation. The butterflies are definately present. I am ready to my college legacy to end and it will in about 2 hours.
James Cochran's Presentation
Today James is giving his final presentation in our CIT 499 class. He tried to do a presentation on creating an iPhone app and soon found out that it’s programming language is very hard to learn with no formal training. Opting out of that he created a Facebook page for the CIT department. He was able to do a mashup through xFruits to update the CIT page with RSS feeds. He also integrated...
CIT499 Final Project - Last Day
Today my paper will be turned in. This is the last paper of my college career but seems like one of the best ones. It hasn’t been easy by any means but the topic has been taught very well and I am starting to understand what is encompassed by it more and more. The last and final hurdle will be my presentation. It is supposed to be 20 minutes but I don’t think mine will be that...

CIT499, April 27th, 2009
As the school year is coming to an end we are starting to wrap things up in class. We talked about an article called Attention Economy: All You Need To Know. In this article it talked about the Attention Economy and how it “is a marketplace where consumers agree to recieve services in exchange for their attention.” It expounded on the ideas that news and everyday life is...
Of all the luck...
I was prepared to come home and get cranking on my CIT499 project and I walk into my office and notice that there are about 200 IE windows open and my computer has locked up. GREAT!! I was able to restart in Safe Mode and copy my paper to a thumb drive. I scanned it on my Mac and there were no threats found. Thank God! Running anti-virus and anti-spyware now.
CIT 499, April 20, 2009
We watched a video today from TED (Technology Entertainment Design) that was of Ted Berners-Lee talking about the “New Web”. He is the person that started the World Wide Web writing code as a side project. He said that the Web needs more data and explained the difference between Information and Data. Information is like your name, where you live, and your eye color, but Data is like...
Final project, cont.
I started writing my paper for my final project. My plan is to write one to two pages a night. This feels weird because I’m usually doing this that weekend before it is due. Good thing I finally got this figured out during the last class of my college career! Anyway, I am learning more that I had ever though I would from this class. As I get further into these references this stuff gets...
New Jersey cont.
All I can say is that it was a big waste of time and money for me to go to NJ. The plan was to convert seven people from Treo’s to Blackberrys on Thursday and Friday. I was able to convert one on Thursday and none on Friday because of computer issues with other parts of the conversion that were out of my control. At least I can say that I’ve been to New Jersey now. That place is...
New Jersey
So, I just found out that I will be traveling to New Jersey on Wednesday so that I can train some people on Lotus Notes and setup about 6 Blackberrys. I am excited because I have never been to New Jersey and sad because I am going to miss the first softball game of the year. I guess that I should count this as a blessing because I have a secure job and love what I do. Look out NJ because...
CIT 499 Final Project
I have been tossing around several ideas for a paper in my head and think that I have finally settled on the topic that I picked to begin with. I know, I know, I just have a problem with writing papers. I don’t want to get just a few pages into it and then run out of things to say. I have drawn up my outline today and am realizing that this whole Enterprise 2.0 thing is already here...

CIT 499 Project
Ok, so I am very good at procrastination, actually, I am extremely good at it. BUT…I am going to get started on my final project for my CIT 499 class very soon, like this week. I will be reaching out to all of the people that I have met through Twitter and other forms of communication to pull this whole thing together. Once I have a project outline composed I will post it and start...

Course Project
So, for my CIT499 class we have a course project due that has to be over something interesting having to do with Web 2.0. I was going to research something having to do with Blackberrys but I am having trouble finding anything worth while. I will keep looking.
