Best of the blogs

As i was reading through some of the blogs there were three that caught my attention. One was by Iesha and it was this guy who can make anything out of wood. In the picture that she had posted it was a sports car and he made it so that it could float on water. The whole car inside and out was very detailed and looked perfect. It is crazy that he could make that out of wood and make it float. I liked the article that she wrote about this item. The second article that I liked was posted by Eli, it is an article about the swine flu vaccination. This article is very detailed and talked about who is able to get the shot and who isn't. All the roomers were cleared up about the children and elderly would get them first but in fact the children are not allowed to get the shot. My last article is by Gray and it was an article about this guy who would get 300 pre rolled marijuana cigarettes every 25 days from the pharmacy. 
The most interesting articles I thought were really just the random ones that I would come across. I cant put it into a group because they are all over the place from making a car that seems like it could drive right out of wood and make it being able to float in the water to the flu vaccination controversy to some states legalizing marijuana. Reading these articles have given me many ideas about future papers and how i should approach the topic, like if I should do it like a pros and cons paper, or maybe I can just take one side of the paper and defend that side. The new topic ideas that I are more about science, technology, and then just the random topics that I have come across. I think stumble upon is a very good prewriting tool because we read an article then have to write what we thought of it. This gets us thinking in many different for like thinking outside of the box instead of just having tunnel vision. It seems like from looking at my classmates helium blogs is that they like detail and clearness. I don't like it when i read a prompt and its jumping all over the place with ideas and stuff. That makes it really hard to read and understand. I think the good prompts are detailed and don't jump around with ideas. I think blogging has really helped me with writing because it makes me write first of all and it makes you write about a bunch of different things. It helps you think in many different ways abut what an article is about and then you write about it and give you opinion in your blog. You can read other blogs that people have done to see what you can improve on and what you are doing right. Its like a self improvement blog. While you are stumbling you also get to learn stuff around around the world like what china is doing or what things other countries are doing like putting a power plant in space or launching a new space ship or making robots that are able to make the decision to fire its weapon or not. I would have never even know about these stories if I didn't go to stumble and blog on these articles. Helium is helpful also because you get to write why a prompt was good or bad so now your not only reading the article but your reading someone else's blog post and you get to comment why you like it or why you don't like it. So now you get to see what the other bloggers think and use that information to put towards your blog post, their post may open a door for you that you would have never even seen. This is a very useful program at first I thought it was going to be an annoyance but it is kind of addicting and its a good way to improve your writing every day.
