My Blog is made up of several links to sites that interest me, pictures I love, photo's of my own and funny things that I have come across. I have tried to make my Blog a profile reflecting my interests, giving all who look at it an overall look at me and what I surround myself with. I found this hard to do at the begginning... being totally unfamiliar with blogging and found it a little scary showing others, sometimes strangers, a bit about myself. I have also created a Del.icio.us and Flickr account which is linked to my blog and creates a network for all three sites. On my Flickr site I have tried to put a range of photo's of my friends, family, uni work and photo's I have found that I love. I have found Flickr to be a great way of exploring photography and finding images of just about anything. On my Del.icio.us account I have bookmarked sites that I love and tend to look at a lot, hoping others will like them as well. I found Del.icio.us hard to use at first and was't sure of it's purpose, but it is a very handy tool and makes using the internet a much more enjoyable experience. I am actually quite shocked at the amount of items and people you can find on the internet... while some things are boring and pointless, others are great and I have spent many hours exploring the great stuff!
So what have I done in MPI104 this term?
- Created a Gmail acocunt and Blog using Blogger
- Created Flickr account and linked it to my blog
- Created Del.icio.us account and linked it to my blog and Flickr account
- Posted entries on my Blog about things that interest me
- Uploaded images on to Flickr site, labeled, tagged and Grouped
- Saved sites to Del.icio.us account
- Searched others Images on Flickr and tagged as a favourite or left a comment
- Have added more posts to blog and more links as well as looking at other people's blog and leaving comments
- Have added a film clip and list to blog
- Have played with fonts, colours and layout of my blog
I hope to get better at blogging, being my first time I know there are more things to do and better ways to do them, as well as building a really interesting Flickr and Del.icio.us account for others to enjoy.

Miranda Hobbs- Sex + The City
Favourite Chick from Sex and The City...
Favourite Quotes...
"Maybe it's maturity or the wisdom that comes with age, but the witch in Hansel and Gretel—she's very misunderstood. I mean, the woman builds her dream house and these brats come along and start eating it."
Miranda: I'm sorry, Steve, I'm an asshole.
Steve: Yeah you are. But you're my asshole.
Miranda: That's sweet. And gross, at the same time.
"I know you're probably busy, having mind-blowing sex right now, but I feel that you need to know your good friend - Miranda Hobbes - has just taken a piece of cake out of the garbage and eaten it. You'll probably need this information when you check me into the Betty Crocker Clinic."
Miranda: Steve is completely predictable but that's one of the things I love about him. He's just so comfortable and safe.
Carrie: Are you dating a man or a minivan?

Things you would never know if it weren’t for the movies…
Large, loft apartments In New York City are plentiful and affordable, even if the tenants are unemployed.
Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don’t worry about which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.
It doesn’t matter if you are greatly outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts. Your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one… dancing around in a threatening manner until you have dispatched their predecessors.
When you turn out the light to go to bed, every thing in your bedroom will still be clearly visible but slightly blue.
Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their enemies using complex machinery involving fused, deadly gasses, laser, buzz saws and hungry sharks, all of which will give their captives at least 20 minutes to escape

JODI PICOULT- The Pact
I have just finished reading a great novel by Jodi Picoult called "The Pact". I definantly recommend reading this book, very easy reading for the times you don't feel like doing uni work... If anyone has read any other novel's by Jodi I would love to know what they were like, so leave a comment.
Here is a synopsis on "The Pact"
In this contemporary tale of love and friendship, Jodi Picoult brings to life a familiar world, and in a single terrifying moment awakens every parent's worse fear: We think we know our children… but do we ever really know them at all?
For eighteen years the Hartes and the Golds have lived next door to each other, sharing everything from Chinese food to chicken pox to carpool duty-- they've grown so close it seems they have always been a part of each other's lives. Parents and children alike have been best friends, so it's no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily's friendship blossoms into something more. They've been soul mates since they were born.
So when midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the appalling truth: Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. There's a single unspent bullet in the gun that Chris took from his father's cabinet-- a bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris has described.
The profound questions faced by the characters in this heart-rending novel are those we can all relate to: How well do we ever really know our children, our friends? What if…? As its chapters unfold, alternating between an idyllic past and an unthinkable present, The Pact paints an indelible portrait of families in anguish… culminating in an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris finds himself on trial for murder.
With this riveting psychological drama, Jodi Picoult explores the dynamics of intimate relationships under stress-- from the seemingly inexplicable mind of a teenager to the bonds of friendship and marriage. Few writers have such a gift for evoking everyday life coupled with the ability to create a level of dramatic tension that will keep you up reading late into the night. The Pact is storytelling at its best: wonderfully observed, deeply moving, and utterly impossible to put down

FRANKIE MAGAZINE
My all time favourite magazine! Why? Because it is a clean fun well designed magazine and it's articles are about real issues and real people. The cover always catches my eye and is always creative. Here are some images from Frankie and a link to the site so you can see why I like it! here is frankie for you to enjoy!
How Frankie started...
Two years ago, over a glass of wine, Editor Louise Bannister and Creative Director Lara Burke aired their frustrations at what magazine stands were offering to women in their 20s. Both firm friends with similar tastes, the duo became inspired to make a magazine they and their friends would want to read. After months of planning they presented an idea for a new magazine to their bosses at publishing house Morrison Media. They wanted a magazine that spoke directly to the reader, contained great affordable fashion, inspiring art, interesting reads and the best photography. They wanted a magazine to be written by 20 somethings for 20 somethings. And so in September 2004, frankie was born.
NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS 2007- Getty Images
Here I have posted some great photographs I have found on the Getty Images Web Site. This is one of my favourite sites as it allows you to view and download any images you like, all you have to do is type in a topic and you have thousands of pictures to look at. I recently checked out this site again and found a link to 'New Photographers- 2007' and found some great shots, a few of which I have posted. There are some great creative images and to look at others like this just click this link or the link in the sidebar. I have also put my favourites on my Flickr page also found in the quick links in the sidebar! Enjoy!

Self portrait taken on the long weekend at threadbo. We went camping during the easter break and I took some photo's, well, a lot of photo's of the beautiful scenery...
Flickr
Being unfamiliar to Flickr, I found it to be pretty interesting and a excellent way to look at some cool photo's. I have made some albums on my own flickr account... I have found it excellent at the amount of searching you can do and what you can find. I have found some people with real talent that shows through their photo's, while others, like myself, have decided to post my friends, holidays etc... It is great to read and post comments and I have found Flickr to be a real network of sharing and communicating through images!
