Pirates of Silicon Valley

I think that in the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley, Steve Jobs was in fact a villian. He turned on his friend/partner and he abandoned his girlfriend when she was pregnant with his child. He also hurt his friend, Steve, in the progress of trying to run his business. His intentions were to create a successful bussiness with his partner, however he cut his friend out of the bussiness entirely and decided to run things himself. He was extremely selfish and bossy towards all of his employees. Although he did manage to create a succesful company, his employees turned on him and fired him from Apple. So in the end his attempts to create a company were successful but he rejected all of his friends and family in the process.

Northpark

I love to go shopping at northpark mall because they have a lot of stores that I really like. For example they have stores like Madewell, Anthropologie, Martin and Osa, and Urban Outfitters. However, whenever I go there I always seem to run into someone I know. Its a great place to go with your friends and just hang out but if you are going with your family it can be a bit embarrissing if you run into someone you know. My friends and I occasionally go to Northpark if we want to see a movie or buy something but I dont think it is a great place just to "hang out." I personally dont find walking around the mall aimlessly entertaining but I'm not saying that I dont enjoy northpark. I really do like Northpark because it is a great place to shop and occasionally I go and just walk around. But if you're looking for a place to hang out going somewhere like mini golf, bowling, or even just having friends over to your house might be more fun.

Back to School


So Spring break is officially over. But while it lasted it was sooo much fun!! Florida was so pretty and me and Sarah had a lot of fun! Unfortunately, it still rained there on some days and it was pretty windy on the beach. The water was too cold for us to go swimming in but we still had so much fun! We went to this place called Seaside where it was so pretty and sunny and they had awesome gelato! We spent a lot of time there because it was so much fun and they had great food! But after a week we had to go back home to Dallas and now we are in school again. Still Spring Break was so much fun!!

Tables

This week in webdesign class we are learning all about tables. We have learned how to make a table on a website and how to change the width or cell spacing or cell padding. We even learned how to change the color of a table or add a background image. Howeverr, its not necessarily easy to make a table. It takes a lot of different tags and details but I think that after some time I will get the hang of it!

SHARKS!


So as I recently mentioned in a previous post: I am going to Florida for Spring Break. My friend Nancy and I were discussing the possibility of a shark attack while swimming in the ocean. I like to swim out past the sand bar which may be more dangerous than standing in the shallower portions of the ocean. This means I could get attacked! ahhhhhh! But I dont think I will as long as I'm a "safe swimmer." Which means that I cant splash around or make too much noise and I cant go into the water with an open cut or wound. So anyways I will keep you guys updated on any shark sightings!

Weakest Webpage

So far I think that my weakest webpage would have to be my about HTML page. It was the first page I made so I wasnt very sure of what I was doing or how to work a web page. Also it isnt very well designed, I dont think I picked very good colors either. But I have created better web pages since then and here is the link to my main page since I updated a bunch of stuff: www.esdeagles.com/collinse. Have a great Spring Break everyone!

Even though we dont leave until sunday I am still really excited to go! We will be there for an entire week and we get back on the next sunday. It will be really awesome to be able to go out on the beach everyday! The ocean there is sooo pretty, I really want to go swimming! A lot of my friends are also going to Florida too. I really cant wait until tomorrow when we get out of school! I wish I was in Florida now!!
