Today in computer science, we had the opportunity to visit the unknown - the AT&T Center for Learning and Technology. I'd like to be able to say that I totally knew it was there, but had never visited, but this would be a lie. In fact, I'm not even sure I've ever heard of it before... or if I have, it obviously didn't leave a huge impression. However, having now visited and seen all the cool things that can be done there, I must say that I am sad I didn't know about it earlier. For one thing, the monitors are HUGE! While probably not useful for anything I'll be doing in the future, this still makes me feel high tech. More importantly, the chairs are really, really nice. Nice enough that I was seriously considering taking one of them on a "field trip" to see what it would look like in my room. On a slightly more serious note, CLT also has useful technology like scanners and audio recording devices, and fun software for photo and video editing. I'm a big fan of photography, so the photo editing capabilities are particularly exciting to me, especially since I don't have any of that software on my computer. And for all you Mac people, they have 14 macs available for use, unlike most computer labs on campus.
As part of our assignment, we were asked to draw a self portrait to scan and save in our groups folder. I now present "The Real Me" demonstrating ;P, a combination of :P and ;) which I mistakenly type all time, affectionately called Seizure Face (because when I attempt to make this face in real life I look somewhat like I'm having a seizure) -
I used Picnik to adjust the exposure because it was too light, and add the border.
LOL - loved your description of your sketch! Great entry, too
