PicMonkey
I edited the Photoshop picture I did on PicMonkey. It is a cool website, but I don't like how they charge you to use some of the features.

Cable Scholarship
http://www.directtvbeatscable.com/technology-scholarship.html
In a world that is constantly growing in technology, keeping up is
important. My phone is probably the most important technology I own. It is amazing. My cell phone is a portable
computer. I can put it in my pocket and get on the internet whenever I want. I
do not have to worry about it getting wet because the phone itself is
waterproof. I use it during class sometimes when I want to research something.
Some of my teachers even communicate with me through text and e-mail. I also
use my phone for fun. I have games, music, YouTube, and I can text my friends
all from the little device in my pocket.
I saw a quote from Mitchell Kapor saying “Getting information off the Internet is like
taking a drink from a fire hydrant”, which I agree with completely. I use the
internet for both an information source and a tool to waste time. When I use it
for an information source, I will Google something and fifty plus pages of
answers come rushing back at me. It is a great resource but also an over
stimulant. There is a joke saying “If it is not on the first 2 pages of
my Google search answers, it does not exist.” No one can look through that
much. But at least it is there for us to use.
For me personally, my cell phone
does not control my life. I know some teenagers, who, their cell phones dictate
everything they do, which I also understand. Having so much power in your hand
is amazing. I am a huge fan of social media. It is probably not healthy. Whenever
I get bored I can just flip my phone on and get on Facebook or Twitter. That is
probably why I love my phone the most. That, and I am a HUGE fan of music. I can
put all my music on my phone and have it right there. I have an app called
Slacker, which is a portable radio station. If I do not have the song on my
phone that I want to listen to and I cannot find it on Slacker, I can go to
YouTube and look it up. I listen to music constantly so having this ability is
so wonderful for me.
I also watch movies on my phone! I
have the Netflix app so if I do not have anything to do, I can entertain myself
with a movie or a TV show. These things are just what I use when I am bored. I
have read books on my phone before of I e-mailed my teachers or my school when I
had a question about something. And I haven’t even gone over phone calling or
texting! At my dad’s house, we do not even have a home phone system anymore.
Everyone in my family owns a cell phone so it is cheaper for us to just have
our cell phones in case we needed to get a hold of each other for some reason.
My parents can call me or text me anytime, even if I am not at home.
The world is changing. Everything
is revolving around technology and it is truly amazing. My most important piece
of technology is my cell phone, but I have so many items around me and all of
it is so important and useful. Technology is amazing in every way.

ThingLink
This is my favorite movie! Stand By Me is an older movie but it is still great. I quote it all the time. Stand By Me by Ben E. King is also my favorite song so I put the music video link on there where Wil Wheaton and River Phoenix star in it. Good job Rob Reiner.

Colorbent Logo
This is the color replacement tool. I thought the irony of the Boston RED Sox having no red in their logo was entertaining.
This is their original logo with Navy Blue and Red
This is the Desaturated version with only red put back into it. Not too different than the navy blue, but still.

Future Predictions
2020: Click and print designer clothes at home“Currently there is a lot of overenthusiasm about 3-D printing. Typically where people are prematurely very excited it leads to disillusionment and a bust, like the dot.com crash. I think we’re about five years away from the really important applications. By the early 2020s we’ll be replacing a significant part of manufacturing with 3-D printing. We’ll be able to print out clothing and there’ll be an open source market of free designs. There will be personal 3-D printers, but also shared ones in your local Starbucks, for example.”
I think this would be really cool! Virtually free clothes, and you can pick whatever you like. It would be super awesome.

Google Glass
I think that Google Glasses are going to be the topic of a lot of debates. Of course students won't be able to use them in school, people can't use them while driving. They will be really cool play things but I don't think people will be able to wear them all the time like some people think. A hands free way of communication is cool, but a lot of people are going to be lenient on the intrusion Google Glass will bring to their lives. I would have a pair, sure. But I would not be wearing it constantly like the commercial shows.

Bockbuster
I live right by where the Blockbuster on Johnson Drive used to be and I walked there all the time as a kid. This video was really funny because it was not that long ago that they were open. The one by my house closed down like a year ago. Blockbuster isn't a museum quite yet.

Get To Know Cassie
Hello! Welcome. The reason why I have gathered you all here today is to tell you a little bit about myself and my blog. I am a Senior at Shawnee Mission North and I am super excited for college. Even though I don't where I am going or what I want to do... At North I am involved in the Drama Department and Choir mainly. I am on Thespian, Choir, and NHS exec boards. I am a member of A.R.T. (Advanced Repertory Theatre. Not Art class. I can't draw at all.) I am also in Pep Club but then again... isn't everyone? Anyway! I like to think I am pretty exciting. I joke around a lot and I sing all the time. Um, what else... I love movies. And Footie Pajamas. If we ever hang out, we will probably end up watching the movie Hot Rod, in footie pajamas, drinking tea and eating my favorite food POPCORN. Sound good? Awesome! We will get a long great!
