The Blog Police are coming!
Should the Federal Election Commision (FEC) be able to monitor and deligate over blog content? Are we threatening democracy?
Hmmm….would this have ever seen the light of day if a military official had not posted questions in his blog? I will admit i was SHOCKED when I heard he did […]

Visiting Camp ASCCA

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

Today, instead of meeting in class for campaigns we traveled a little ways up the road to visit Camp ASCCA(one of our wonderful campaigns for this summer!) Arriving at camp, I already had images in my head about what it would be like. My first surprise was that we did not travel down a long,lonely […]

Dilated 47cm

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

www.cnn.com
I’m sorry….did she say she was dilated 47cm?!
Please do not watch “Stabbing, robbery caught on tape,” but rather please listen to this amazing story titled, “Newborn weighs almost 14 lbs.” Now guys, I know this may seem irrelevant to you, but for you ladies, please read my title again! YIKES! Talk about good […]

(By the way — Is that Scrushy’s daughter? or wife?…please watch the video if you have not seen her…TOO CUTE FOR HIM!)

The Value of an Employee

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

The office door bell sounds as she casually swaggers through the door with her cell phone glued to her left ear and sopping wet bleach-blond hair hanging past her shoulders, framing a face devoid of make-up. Heads throughout the office turn, but the women doesn’t notice. She is consumed with her colorful yet lewd conversation […]

Appreciation of critical thought…

Monday, June 27th, 2005

I just finished a project for a class I am currently taking called Multimedia Productions. We had to make a 5 to 8 minute audio project on a topic and edit it on Multiquence. While doing this project, I developed a new appreciation for Public Relations and what it has taught me. Over the years, […]

Daily Customer Service Report

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Recently I have been introduced to a system within an organization called “Daily Customer Service Reports.” Each member of the orgnization submits a report (in email form) to an administrator and generally lists a single way they performed good customer service that day. This seemed tedious to me at first, though i did […]

my Destin trip?

Monday, June 27th, 2005

I’m really excited about my Destin trip now. Woo - hoo.
I reccomend watching the live video titled “Surfer helps girl attacked by shark.” (It’s a little down on the right.)
I had never thought of this situation the way he talks about it. The surfer tells CNN that the young girls father thanked […]

On the Road Again…

Sunday, June 26th, 2005

On Tuesday, our Campaign’s class is headed up to Camp ASCCA to see what this camp is all about. We think that by getting a bird’s eye view, we will have a better idea of what will and will not work, what they need, and what they really don’t want!
So we’re meeting to caravan […]

Calling all computer empires

Sunday, June 26th, 2005

One of our clients for this summer’s campaigns class is an organization called, “Camp ASCCA”. They put on Alabama’s Special camp for children and adults. They are a non profit organization and work very hard to keep their camp up-to-date and up-to-speed.
One thing we’ve decided they really need is a computer […]

Natalee Holloway

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

The Natalee Holloway case is one that I too have found myself caught up in. Every morning I wake up I turn to Fox News or CNN to see updates. While I can’t go on with my day without checking up on the case, I also get extremely angry with how the […]

The Meeting Heard Around the World

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

Yesterday, Natalee Holloway’s mother met the van der Sloots’. From a journalistic point of view, it was a great accomplishment for Greta Van Susteren. She was actually allowed to be present for the conversation between Natalee’s mother and the family of the man who is being accused for her disappearance. From a […]

Yahoo! -OR- Yucko!

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

Gross me out. Among the thousands of chat room titles one can thumb through at Yahoo, there are rooms with some disturbing titles, such as:

9-17-Year-Olds Wantin’ Sex
Younger Girls 4 Older Guys
Girls 13 And Under For Older Guys
Girls 13 And Up For Much Older Man
Girls 8 to 13 Watch Boys (In A Particular Sex Act) […]

My fear of the inevitable…

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

Change is something that I normally adjust to quite well. I realize that for most people, change is a dreaded ocurrence. I, however, seem to enjoy it. I think that change and spontanaeity correlate in some way because I am also a huge fan of being spontaneous. What also leads me to make […]

Using Blogs for Research

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

In Steve Rubel’s blog, he talks about how some companies are using blogs as a type of research in place of focus groups. It costs less and allows a passage way to endless opinions and wants. I personally think that using blogs to find out consumer insight is genius. Blogs will provide […]

Honesty is the best policy

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

When my Dad arrived at, what would be, his last assignment in the Air Force he headed to Montgomery, Alabama — Maxwell AFB. There he met his boss, Gen. Rosa. The friendship that would develop is one that most people dream they have one day. My Dad out-stayed many commandants while at […]

I’m sorry….i just can’t let it go!

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

I dont know why I have become so engrossed in this tragedy. I almost feel guilty for being so wrapped up in it. I just sit a wait by the TV (when my cable is not out) and just hope and pray there is momentarily going to be some new update…some new breaking […]
