I used Podomatic.com to make an account on which I will be recording podcasts. Here is my public profile.
This is my "test" podcast. I used Audacity to record it. Here is the link:

I have a bit of a sore throat so forgive the sound of my voice!

Three of my Favourite Videos
For this post, I used Blogger's "Insert a Video" feature that is found in the toolbar directly above the text box. I like this better than embedding a video link from Youtube because Blogger will format it to the right dimensions for my page. Also, this feature permits you to browse Youtube if you don't know the exact video you want to post.
I really love music and dance so my three favourite videos are of people dancing to great songs. These are just a few of many :)
Philip Chbeeb, Andrew Baterina and Jordan Kolar performing to "Sleepy Head" by Passion Pit
Dominic Sandoval and Sabra Johnson perform to "Make it Work" by Ne-yo
Ray Charles performing "Twist It" in "The Blues Brothers" movie
Interesting and Informative Youtube videos about Computer Hardware
For this post, I used the "embed" feature that Youtube offers when you want to share a link, hence the ill-fitting videos.
This first video is about a site that aims to teach you how to be your own information technologist. It's really interesting and a good intro if you would like to learn more about a computer's hardware and what they mean.
This second video shows you how to install RAM into your desktop computer. The man giving the instruction also brings awareness to electrostatic shock and what to do to before you start work on your PC to avoid damaging your computer.
This third video is about installing a graphics card. I like how the man showing the task emphasizes that you must be careful and gentle when installing hardware. I find not enough people are aware of how delicate the hardware is.
This last video is just for fun. Somebody managed to make all sorts of peripherals make noise in the tune of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. It's impressive.

Personal Profile
I am Marion Buan and I am currently enrolled at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. I am finishing a Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies. I am hoping to take this degree further by enrolling in SFU's Education Program next year. I would like to become a French Immersion Elementary school teacher. I am taking a full course load this summer, with classes in Economics and Marketing. All of them are introductory classes, as I need credits towards my degree. I attended UVic back in 1995 to major in Applied Linguistics. In 2000, I ended up getting a job in a French Immersion elementary school in Vancouver and I had been working as a Teacher's Aid and a Special Education Assistant since. I will be going back into teaching elementary, hopefully in a French Immersion School.
Other than attending classes, my hobbies are dancing (mostly Filipino folk dancing), and dragon boating (I am the drummer, not a paddler). I also am very interested in photography and blogging. I am always keeping my eyes open for new useful applications for my iPhone because now it acts as my main tool for photography and mobile blogging.

Computer Class Haiku
Computer Science.
Just follow the instructions.
Common sense will help.

I am taking CPSC 1100 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Creating a blog is a part of today's activities.
I have to say that this class is pretty fun. It's a relaxing change from my econ and marketing classes. Oh, the things I do to get a decent paycheque. I know I'm pretty good at fiddling around with a computer, but this is a great class... I love watching the other people in this class NOT follow instructions. A lot are fresh from high school, thinking this will be an easy class so they chat or write email or do whatever as the lesson goes on. Then they're the ones stuck here til 7pm trying to do a simple assignment. This one took me no time at all to do, and yet there are people who still can't authenticate their blog. I'd help, but I believe that 18 year olds need to learn this stuff by problem solving. After all, that's how I learned. When they get to be my age, they can have the opportunity to be a computer snob like me.
Hahahahahah
