Aah Everyone,

This is hello as said by a woman in South Africa, it sounds kinda like what I say to my daughter when she asks for pretty much anything: “huh?”

According to teenage law, teenagers are not allowed to communicate with their parents (or another adult who doesn’t act like an idiot, err, I mean immature) under penalty of being considered uncool. This is a pretty effective deterrent when it comes to being asked for iPods and laptops and seriously expensive jeans (that look like they are older than dirt, what with all the tears and stains, if she wants that I’m sure I can find a hobo who would be willing to trade them for a new pair of jeans from the local Target, I think I’m digressing since parenthesis are not meant for long explanations or rants) and tacky jewelry or other luxuries such as food on a daily basis and heat during the winter. Kids have it easier nowadays, I remember when (this is when you begin to daydream) I was young and living here in the Coachella Valley and walking three miles in the snow (or was it flower fields?, same difference) to get to school all while lugging my backpack bought at Kmart. Okay getting to my point…, did I have one?

Okay I remember I did have a point. But I realized it didn’t really matter, so I will just let everyone know that I have enjoyed this course and spending some “time” with passionate and creative people. I will see you all at the finals get together (pizza party) in Redlands.

Guten Tag Everyone,

That is hello in German. I have always liked the language and its use of some gutteral sounds. Also I bought software to learn German.

Wow, I love the internet, just when I thought I had gone completely crazy (as opposed to just partly there) trying to complete this assignment I decided to try my google-fu skills once more (oh and I read the section in chapter eight titled Coursesite Access for Students with Disabilities). Lo and behold (I think that’s how it’s said, I heard Dr. Newberry use it once and I had to look it up in the dictionary) I found a lot of information online about ADA compliance, I also learned that their are a lot of lawsuit happy individuals that take advantage of the law to make money by suing non-compliant businesses.

I used one of the tools I found to check my own website and I wasn’t really surprised to learn that I had nine Known Problems, 10 Likely Problems and 33 Potential Problems. It is going to take some time to fix but I will get right on it.

Ambo everyone,

This is hello in Papua New Guinea. An interesting fact about this small island country is that there are over 800 distinct languages in this little known or explored country. Also less than half the island is Papua New Guinea from which we staged an offensive into Japan during WWII (actually Australia did).

I am still alive, but just barely. I have never worked so hard for so long in my life, I now have a newfound respect for people who can pull off two jobs and make time for their family. I am currently working 50+ hours a week, driving about 1500 miles a month (I know this because I get reimbursed my mileage) and my only real day off is Sunday, except that because Dr. Newberry is such a strict task master (actually he’s pretty easy to please) and demands that we actually learn something in his courses my Sundays are devoted to sleeping and homework (oh and church, how else will my prayers of passing this course be granted).

This is hello in binary code. You’re probably asking yourself why is this person (nutjob?) writing in binary code, well here is the story: A couple of weeks ago my personal email account was hacked, and I like any good (lazy) person kept all of my original emails that I received when I opened a bank account, an eBay account, a PayPal account, my work email password and MEDs access codes (this is especially bad since this code gives me access to the states’ information servers), my CSUSB passwords and even my Hostmonster account password, this person now had all my private information. I wasn’t too worried until I realized that she also had the code to my Pokemon character, now I was really worried, she could derail countless hours of work in building up my character; I had no choice I jumped to action. Now I know that all of you are probably thinking “poor thing” (or she’s not very bright is she?) but I can assure you the situation is (mostly) under control, it only took me a couple of weeks, a small amount of money and my sanity but things are almost back to normal.

So now your thinking “okay what is the point to this story?” It is this, binary code is what most computers use to run its various programs including hacking software, it is also what the FBI’s computers use to find these hackers. I did do a little investigating on my own, I was able to find the persons IP address and I tracked it back to a host company that keeps their information confidential, I (actually a very computer literate and expensive friend) was able to track down a name and address of this individual in Texas, most likely the name was made up but the address is a home in Texas (verified using Zillow). I of course sent a massive email to everyone about this situation and gave the authorities the information I had gathered, eventually.

So rest assured, my Pokemon character is again fully under my control.

Annyeong Everyone

This is hello in Korean. I was watching a dvd set I have called Arrested Development, very funny by the way, and the family matriarch just adopted a Korean boy who keeps saying annyeong, they start to believe that his name is annyeong.

Anyways, this is my blog for pretty much all of my online classes in the ETEC program that requires I create a blog. Click on the page about me to find out more and under Winter 2010 ETEC for my weekly blogs. I hope to have a good quarter.

Jambo everyone!

That is hello in Swahili (also called Kiswahili) this language is spoken in several African countries. I am updating my blog, sorry I have been incomunicado (not really sure if that is spelled right, heck I don’t even think it’s a real word) been really busy with getting the free tax program set up here in the Coachella Valley.

I am using the materials provided by the IRS to help create my training module. I am also spending a lot of time with the trainer to come up with the salient points of concern that need to be addressed.

Konnichiha (pronounced as konnichiwa) Everyone

This is sort of like hello in Japanese, they really don’t have a word for hello. I have been missing in action for a while, sorry about that, but now I am back.

I like Japanese and Chinese and any other Asian language especially when I watch a movie originally shot in that language. It’s pretty neat to see an actors mouth move for half a minute and the American voice actor (can you really call them actors?) who is dubbing the voice just use a one syllable word. I just finished watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (fyi: this is not a kids movie and you will not see any tigers or dragons, they must always be crouching and hiding).

That is hello in Ethiopian, I did a little research about the Ark of the Covenant and found some interesting facts about this little African country.

I posted my blog entry late this week, I was at a conference and thought I could do my assignment from there but realized I was too tired at the end of the day. Well here it is, click on Session 2 under the ETEC 676D Fall 2009 heading.

Olá

This is hello in Portuguese, I figure since I would like to attend the 2016 Olympic games I might as well learn a little of the language now.

Well to all those that know me I am continuing my blog for ETEC 676D for the fall 2009 quarter. Click on the ETEC 676D link to find out more about my thoughts about this class and click on the “About Me” link to learn more about me.

Здравствуйте! Everyone

This is hello in Russian. I figured if we go to war (WWIII) with them we should at least know how to say hello and be able to write it on our bombs before we drop them. Lets not be rude now.

I know that you all are wondering where in the world (California) is Angelica San Diego (thanks Kenny for the idea). I was out of town and just made it back today, sorry about worrying all of you. I read Dr. Newberrys word document and I just know that he has a set of pointy ears in his closet, I faintly remember him at Comic-Con, he was the eighteenth Spock I met there. Check out my blog for my ideas about the future of technology.

I am pretty sure that things will get more complex and PDA’s will soon become absolete since the gadgets of the future will have a phone, a digital camera, a PDA and a Web broswer. They will also become maybe a bit smaller but not by much. Also I think I saw one with a Swiss Army Knife on it, now I really want one.
