Frazier, Stumble, Pictures
poindexter stumble
Stumble Upon ;; Katey Medlin
I liked this one because all the pictures are really amazing. Its amazing moments caught on camera. I would like to see something like that in my life time. I think anyone who wants to see something amazing should look at this link. Its not really cited. My questions about the pictures are, how are you able to catch something like that on tape.
The 10 Most Disturbing Books of All time
This is interesting because it has a list of all the books with the cover of the book and a summary of the book. I like this because I would like to read some of these books just to see how good they really are. Any one who likes to read would enjoy looking over this. I believe its cited really well, because it has everything about the book on there. My question is why are these the most disturbing out of everything.
Parking Garage
I found this interesting because its not something that you would see in every day parking garage. I would like to see something like this my self. I think that it would be very interesting to get in the right angel and read all of the words. This project won several international design awards. Its not really cited. And my question is who had the idea to do this and how did they manage to get all the letters in the right angel to say what it says.
Gooding-Stumble-Alarm Clocks
http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1iGmrz/www.uberreview.com/2006/03/top-ten-most-annoying-alarm-clocks.htm//
Everyone hates getting up in the morning. I know I do. So when your alarm goes off for that 8 o'clock class, you probably hit the snooze button a couple of times. Well not with these alarm clocks. These 10 alarm clocks have been rated the most annoying at there. And after reading the description I have to agree. It was really interesting to see some of these alarm clocks and read how they worked. I never realized how many different types of alarm clocks and how extreme some people make them to be able to get up in the morning. I would recommend this stumble to any classmate who is looking for a new alarm clock and wants one that will defiantly get them up in the morning. This is also good for any classmate who wants to come up with their own business idea and thinks they have a good idea for a new alarm clock. This site is cited a little but not a lot. I think a question I would have to ask would be; How did you come up with this alarm clock idea? I think that if I did any further research it would be to purchase some of these alarm clock and see which one did the best to wake me up.

Garbage bags+subway air= art? I wouldn't have thought so either until I watched this stumble video. Joshua Harris creates real inflatable art using just tape garbage bags and the air created by subways. I loved watching this video and seeing how it worked. It was amazing to me how he was able to use the simplest of things and make living, moving, and ordinary art. I think what I liked the most was how it just looked like ordinary trash but when the subway went by the "trash" came to life. I think that any classmate who loves to see really easy to do and cool art would love this page. I also believe that any classmate who just likes to see really cool videos would love this. The site is not really cited. I think my one question would be; How did you come up with the idea for this art?

I don't know about you but I personally have a bittersweet feeling about storms. I love to watch them and they are really beautiful, but I also hate to be stuck in them and I feel like a tree will fall on my house any moment. This stumble was really intresting to me becuase I've never seen storms like this. They are both terrifing and amazing at the same time. I hope I never have to see storms like this but if I do I know i will try to get as many picture of them as I can. I think that any classmate who is interesting in weather or just wants to see some picture of mother natures fury, then this would be the stumble for them. The site is cited a little. I think my question would be; Where did these storms happen?

I stumbled across this sink design and thought it is very unique. It is new technology but they use the design from a 400 million year old species, cephalopods. It is crazy how they take the designs of so long ago and turn it into something useful now. I would recommend this site to new interior decors interested in using unique designs. The sources are not given for this site, the maker is unknown. This sink is very nice and unique however is seems to take up way to much space. Would this sink design cause an excessive use of water?
I came across this picture. I look at it as the perfect “fall” photo. This is an epic change in nature that is creative in its own way. What is interesting to me about this is how perfect things can occur in nature. I would recommend this to a class mate that loves nature as much as I do and the color of sun fire orange. This spectacular photo was taken by an unknown photographer. One question I have is why do the actual leaves change colors?
You do not hear of one in a million happening very often, but with this apple it did. This apple genetically mutated to produce one half green and a perfect line down the middle to separate it from the other red half. This occurred in Ken Morrish’s garden that he has been maintaining for 45 years. A question I have is why haven’t farmers used this mutation to create this apple all the time as a delicious treat?

Melvin- Stumble- High Heels
http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2pPyIx/www.highheelshoemuseum.com//
What girl doe not love shoes!!! I personally have a huge collection and love every pair. The High Heel Shoe Museum showcases hundreds of unique shoes. I would recommend this to anyone who loves shoes, even just a little bit, or someone who is looking for that perfect shoe to go with the perfect dress. If you click on a shoe you like, it will take you to the website where you can buy the shoes. I would like to know more history about high heels. I think that if the website included a section that discussed the history and making of high heels that it would be interesting. So far this is one of my favorite websites I have stumbled upon so far.
http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1WhMHB/www.theatrehistory.com//
Theater History.com breaks down the history of theater as an art form. It offers a description of theater in many different countries, an online script achieve, and a book store with suggested readings. I would recommend this website to all my fellow performing arts majors or anyone how just has a love for theater. The articles are cited very well and seem to be a reliable resource. I would like to know if the monologues they offer are from an actual play or monologue books. It is often frond upon when an actor performs a monologue with out reading the entire play first.
http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#45QINW/www.for-ballet-lovers-only.com//
The title says it all, For Ballet Lovers Only. This blog includes pictures, articles, and reviews of world famous ballet companies. Anyone how loves ballet needs to know about this blog and comment on its post. This blog showcases ballet in its most beautiful form with the worlds most famous ballerinas performing. The blog gives credit where credit is due. I would like to know how the author got permission to use some of the photos or how she was able to get such intimate ones of the dancers backstage.

Another topic that stuck out to me, was food and weight loss. It seems that most of the people that are blogging seem to have and absetion with how different foods will make you loose weight. I also noticed a lot of people choosing their friends blogs to write about, this made the articles rather boring when reading them. I also found it rather intertaining how many people wrote about blogs that were made up of mostly pictures. sure pictures are nice but we need to read every once in awhile. The last thing that i saw was the amount of blogs containing booze was extremely high. Now there isn't anything wrong with it but it was interesting to see the amount of people writing about beer.

The one that like most was “Baby denied medical treatment and handed back to his mother to die”, wrote by Hartley. The baby was born at 21 weeks and the British law does not allow trying to save babies born before 22 weeks. So the baby died in his mom arms. It is a really sad story. Probably the worst thing in the world is to see your son dying. I can’t even imagine what his mother felt at that moment seeing the equipment that could have saved her son’s life right next to them but no one trying to do anything. I think this law shouldn’t exist. No matter how many weeks the baby was born early or how developed he is, who can, should help taking care of him.
I was also interested about the article that Bradley King wrote about Michael Phelps’ diet. That is amazing! I never thought that someone could eat this much. 12000 calories is ten times what most people eat every day.
I believe writing and reading other peoples blogs helped me a lot on these three weeks. I could improve my ability to write a little bit and I learned a lot about many different topics.

One of the most interesting blogs to me was the blog that I wrote on plastic surgery. I chose this as one of my favorites because it was a deep topic to get in to. I feel that plastic surgery is a major cause of some deaths. Anything could go wrong once you get on that table. From patients having a heart attack, to patients hyperventilating. Lots of famous people feel that these procedures are necessary, which is really wrong. These procedures are very deadly and should be well thought out before taking the step.
Another interesting blog that I’ve read was about the baby that was born to it’s mother at 21 weeks. This was really sad. What made me think a lot was the fact that the doctors didn’t try to save it. It must have been dreadful as a mother to watch her tiny 21 week old baby die right in her arms. I feel that the doctors should have at least tried to help the poor woman and her poor baby. This was blogged about by Halee Hartley.
Many people have given me ideas for future papers. I have agreed to try and stumble upon more intense websites, like instead of settling for the first few stumbles, I will search more harder and try to find topics that discuss news (world). I will also try to find more diverse sites, like about animals and aliens, so that I can write ore edgier blogs.
Using stumble upon is very helpful as a prewriting tool because it gives you tons of ideas and topics to write about, it also allows one to receive insight on why sources should be cited when doing a stumble upon blog. The most important elements in creating a helium according to my classmates is reading the article, and writing about the articles being sure to include major details about the article.
I think that blogging is very amazing. It has effected me in so many ways, it makes me appreciate writing more and it allows me to learn more about internet sites that I’ve never seen before.
