Friday

Today is Friday! Unfortunatley, Ellie and Nancy are not here. They have left me and gone to ISAS at St. Marks for choir/theatre productions :(. Ellie said they were singling Glee songs (oh yeah!), I really wish I could be there to cheer them on. My brother and dad are at the Master's in Agusta, so its just me, my mom, and our lab Rosie at home!
Tomorrow is gonig to be a very busy day! I have community service from 9-2, then I have to get with my partner to work on our biology project. I'm babysitting my brother tomorrow night because my parents will be at the ESD auction. Sunday, me and my mom have to go to a lunch for the seniors in the mother/daughter charity league we're in.
Monday, my advisory is going to Wolf Run for the night! I'm sxcited because I like my advisory. Kirby and Emily will be there, which is really fun. We're going to be working with the 5th graders and help them with some project.

Pirates of Silicon Valley

In web design class, we just finished watching the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. It is a movie that follows Steve Jobs through his creation of Apple Computers, and Bill Gates and the development of Microsoft and Windows.
Personally, I would rather work for Bill Gates, even though Apple is probably more sucessful in terms of progress (the iPad is amazing!). Steve Jobs was very selfish and bossy, and not in a good way. At first, Jobs and Steve were in it together. But after gaining fame, Jobs didn't care about the company itself, only about the money and being first to develop everything. He was the "villian" to Bill Gates' "hero". Jobs lost his values and denied his family. He only cared for wealth and power.
Bill Gates was a lot "cooler" and composed, and he rarely lost his temper. Jobs ran around the office yelling at everyone all day. I would much rather work in his office, because I believe he would be easier to get along with and more understanding. I think he wouldn't have "lost himself" in the power and fame, and would keep developing computers because it was what he loved.

WeEkEnD

this weekend was SO fun! and my birthday is tomorrow!!!!!!!! I am so excited! this weekend was one of the best EVER! here's why...
On Saturday night, I has my pre-birthday party with friends, which was really fun! Too bad Nancy couldn't come! But luckily Ellie and the rest of my pals made it. We went to Cibus at northpark and ate in the private room there! Then we went to see the bounty hunter! It was sooo fun!!! (btw- thanks for the candy ellie!) On Sunday, I barely had any homework. So I just got to hang out in the morning, and at 3 I went to Emily's house to help her make welcome gifts for the new families coming to ESD! We had so much fun! That night, we decided to have a pre-bday family dinner at Mattito's, one of my favorite restaurants! Because I helped Emily till about 5, my mom picked me up and we drove straight to dinner to meet my dad and brother. I walked in and saw my grandparents, who live in Georgia! They had driven all the way here from Georgia to suprise me! It was such a fun weekend I will never forget it!

Spring Break = FIN

Well, spring break is over :(. But is was super fun! Me and my friend Ellen rode bikes one day and then went to the new whole foods for dinner! yay! and my neighbord paid me $350 for watching their dogs! They made a check out to me and everything. I've never had a check made out to me before, but there's a first for everything right! lol! And then I did a lot of hanging out with friends and family in town. Me and my OTHER friend named Ellen took our brothers to see diary of a wimpy kid-lol it was too cute! our brothers loved it while Ellen and I watched them laugh at cheese and Halloween mishaps and such! Well, I'm back in school and ready for the weekend! lol comment!

update

So we get to design our own web page in web design! and suggestions of what I should do mine on? Colors? Themes? comment

Tables

This week in web design class, we are focusing on tables and our tables page. Mine is pretty fab, you can get to it through www.esdeagles.com/walkera. Tables are pretty simple, if you want to add padding or borders or merged cells you just add it on the original tag. This is really easy because sometimes you have to add entirely new tags that are really complicated. While making our tables pages, I saw Nancy and Ellie making theirs. Nancy's is so cute and Ellie's is just plain awesome. Check theirs out at www.esdeagles.com/collinse and www.esdeagles/burrown.

weakest webpage

So far, my weakest webpage is probably my Images page, because there is a lot of information on it. At first I would say it was my about html, but as the class has gone on I've been able to tweak it here and there to make the font smaller, which was a real problem for it! The font size was about 40!!! Anyways, my images page looks good, but isn't as creative (like my awesome colors page! ;)) since I was so worried about getting all the information up. All in all, i think my pages have turned out pretty cool! check them out at www.esdeagles.com/walkera!

Spring break!!

I am so excited for spring break! But this year, for the first time in a while, we are staying here. Luckily I have friends who are staying too so I won't be too bored! We usually go to Rosemary Beach in Florida and stay at my grandparents house there, but its booked this year! Also on the up side, though, is that my neighbors are paying me $50 a day to watch their dogs for 7 DAYS. So, even though it isn't as fun as going somewhere, I know I'll have fun here too!

html update

So far, I would say that images and keeping the page "pretty" have been the hardest for me. There are so many different kinds of images, like JPGs and PNGs and PSDs, and they all vary with how they present the image on the web. There's also so many codes, that sometimes you forget to end one and then it throws the whole page off! The font will be huge, it will all be linked, or even simple spelling mistakes! But over the oast few weeks, I've really been able to get the hang of it!
