Turn ON the Lights!

Please turn on the lights! No, not those! The northern lights!

The northern lights, also known as the Auroras are beautiful streams of light that roam the night sky in northern or southern regions of the earth. This effect is thought to be caused by charged particles so the chance of visibility increases with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole.

Bringing Paper Back!

Bringing Paper Back!

in Discussion by Virgil

Instead of choosing one Background, we chose a lot. Each of use made our own backgrounds and right now they are circulating through the site. I made this cool little piece of crumpled paper with doodles on it.  Press F5 a few times and you can the rest.

Trying out new backgrounds

Trying out new backgrounds

in Opinion by Selina

Seeing how bright and flashy megan’s background is (which is totally amazing); I thought it took too much away from the website. I wanted something that wouldn’t stand out too much but still have a pattern in order for the page not too look so dull. Seeing our website with a sold navy blue made it look ok but certainly not unique. Wanting to use  the color I searched for images that would correspond with the navy blue and I stumbled upon this pattern; having fun meshing the two together i created this current background hopefully it worked out but if not it was fun creating it.

What is to come from tech 4 america?

Hey Viewers! This is Juan, Selina, and Jose and we have just made a movie for Tech 4 America. Tech 4 America is a program offered to college graduates with skills in media programs (i.e. Photoshop, Audacity, Flash, Final Cut Express, etc.) interested in reaching out to inner city youth and teaching them these skills in programs. (Similar to Teach For America) Tech 4 America is not an official program, but it is a program that we could propose to the Obama Administration. (HEY OBAMA! If you’re watching) Please visit the Tech 4 America at: ___________________.
