Hi everyone. I have been thinking what to write here for a while now and still have no idea. Since procrastination is my middle name, I think it is time.
As a remainder, I copied from our assignment what I actually need to blog about:
Why you are considering and/or discarding certain topics
Links to resources you might use in FW
Ideas for color palettes
Possible topics and titles for your 4-5 subpages
Links to good examples of similar websites
Possible original text for FW
Possible graphics or sources of graphics
Challenges you may face
It is a start. It seems like I suddenly have a plan!
Possible topics I consider (brainstorming session):
- blog about how to make blogs (technical perspective)
- everything about web development
- make my little version of IPL.org (I have second class in a row discussing it, making its prototypes, finding problems, lets just do something)
- second quiz gave me some inspiration about potential uses of facebook relating to Drexel instructors. Maybe I should expand on this thought and dedicate my little project to it in the name of all students harbouring a grudge. :)
- this is harder than I though it would be (this is not a topic)
I think I am coming to realization what a shallow person I am, nothing to talk about. I am not interested in sports (except UFC ), not a member of any honorable societies, knitting seems to be fun, but I think I need to warm up to it little bit. And the worst of all, I eat meat, a lot of meat. Talking about vegetarian food would look little hypocritical.
As you probably noticed I try to get my inspiration from students' works from previous terms, but it does not help me much. The site on overclocking is interesting though. I assembled my computer from parts I ordered online and even got a chance to put the processor in place. What a wonderful moment of booting it first time. It is aliiiiive! I played with an idea of overclocking whatever is overclockable, but I don't play 3D games (one more example of my shallowness) and I prefer quiet computers (no more cooling fans please).
Redesign of ipl.org is the most appealing to me, but the problem is that I would not provide my own content, I would reshuffle the content, make the website more usable, add some features and try to eliminate the problems people reported.
Second winner is a topic about web development and all Microsoft technologies: Silverlight, MVC framework , LINQ, 3.5 .Net Framework.
P.S. I did not know so many people want to work in libraries, especially in a rare book department.

I think you are being too hard on yourself saying that you are shallow. It sounds like you have plenty of valid interests. I also think that you should follow your gut and do the project that you would both be the most proud of and enjoy the most.
Thanks for this post, I am thinking about mine and am a little overwhelmed by how many decisions there could be.
I know this is an old post, but it is funny and I wanted to comment on it. Sometimes it is better to have very few interests, because then you don't have to make tough decisions about your future--like should I be a singer or web designer.
Anyway, nice post. I can tell you are as nerdy as us librarians.
I think overclocking was such a cool idea too. Have you ever seen this documentary: Akihabara Geeks? It focuses on a few lives of people that live in or visit this neighborhood in Tokyo called Akihabra or "electric Town." One of the focuses of the film on a overclocker who is constantly rebuilding computers so he can compute Pi faster/ longer. It is very interesting!
This is a very entertaining post. I encountered similar issues when trying to decide on a topic for my site. It made me feel like an extremely dull person. I just don't have any hobbies, so sue me! hehe
