Finally It's My Turn!

You should be happy to hear that this time my title is completely relevant to my post. Although, Ms. Feick, the blogs you have chosen for us to take a peek at are righteous, sick, phat, dope... - by the way, I don't know about anyone else, but I don't find those words are part of my vocabulary; nice try though! - I didn't find anything that really jumped out at me and stuck with me. So this assignment was sweet and I really enjoyed it :)
So -
without further ado, here's the site I chose!

http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/

Make sure to take some time and really search through this website. This blog showcases photographs that have shows up in the news, and the most recent posts are epic photographs that showed up in the news in just 2010. It's amazing to see all of this past year's events from all over the world captured in photographs. Some of them are just so cool and artistic, while others are plain epic. They range from average things you might see everyday, to extraordinary happenings that only occur once. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry. Some will scare the bejebers out of you, while others will inspire you to strive for excellence, and to have a yearning to make this world a better place.
Overall, THIS BLOG WAS SO COOL. How some people think up these things and are able to collect them and display them in an attractive and appealing way is beyond me. I just can't get over this blog, definitely something to take a look at. You won't be sorry :)

Here's a photograph from the blog that made me laugh:

Farewell, Movember... Don't Even Think About Coming Back

So the title of this blog post really doesn't apply to this post at all, I just couldn't think of anything else :)

Anyway, today we were asked to take a look at the two websites below 

lettersofnote.com             
huffingtonpost.com       
  
and then comment on them.

Well... where to start. I have mixed feelings about The Huffington Post. Some people may like this sort of thing but to me it was much too dry. It didn't capture my attention at all and none of the topics interested me in the slightest. It just isn't my type of blog!

Now Letters of Note, that was an interesting one :) It was so cool to read all the letters and the stories behind them! Many of them were from famous people or at least people who were well-known for things that they did. People such as Abraham Lincoln, Ezra Pound, Gene Roddenberry (if you're wondering who all these people are, go to the website and look for yourself, although I sure hope everyone knows who Abraham Lincoln is at least...). Reading the letters from all these people was so interesting, especially since most of the letters had stories behind them that made the letters seem much more fascinating.

So check out the sites for yourself!
