Changes coming, background noise

This blog will be on the receiving end of a serious makeover in the next few weeks. Fall semester classes have started again. With my major in multimedia journalism, several courses now require me to manage a blog, establish a website using GoDaddy and post news stories and assignments.

The change is really a blessing. These assignments will allow me to display and hopefully market work I have already done while adding new pieces to my porfolio. I need content, so this is also an excuse to post the photo galleries and videoes I have sorely neglected. The motorcycle trip is sitting back against the sissy bar for now, but these assignments will be great preparation for that work. Hopefully I will be able to finagle things similar to what I want to accomplish during that trip into my assignments for class and the school newspaper, the iPulse. Practice makes perfect!

Most of all, I am happy to report that five of my six classes this semester are journalism and communications oriented. Gone are the days when I could complain that "I'll never use this!" And that is a pretty good thing.
