Finally....the journey is over!!!!

The 23 things project showed me different aspects that internet can offer. I can never fathom that you can find so much stuff on the internet. The discovery exercise that peeked my interest was the wikis and delicious bookmaring tool. I am a person that when I find I site that catches my interest, I love to bookmark them automatically. At first without delicious, I bookmark them through my computer, however when I travel or go somewhere else, I can't take the bookmark with me to see the page for any updates. Especially the forum pages that I go to, I like to get updates once in a while even if I am away from home. With wikis, I am so glad that I got introduced on how to use it. Now, I am using it at work and for personal use as well. This program helped with my long term goals by showing me that I can do a lot of things just by fiddling around and could learn things quickly. The only things I would change about this program is if we could give time for each of the project. If there is another program that I am able to participate, I'd be glad to join in and learn more.

Podcasting Highway

I have been doing podcasts for quite some time now. This is a first for me using podcast alley. I actually like the site since they have some intersting podcast service in their site. The two podcasts I picked were Kyoto podcast and Taste of Asia. Kyoto podcast show us the Japanese culture and the sights we can see in that country. The host also talks to Japanese students and the people in Japan on what makes the city of Tokyo so diverse. The next podcast channel that I picked was Taste of Asia. This channel talks about the food and culture of different countries in Asia. I listened to about two podcast and find it interesting on what types of foods each country have.

I have been fiddling around with Podcast for a year and a half now. If I cannot find any good shows on TV, I just go on and listen to podcast feeds. Some of them are video podcasts and some were audio podcasts.

Let's get into Overdrive!!!!!

Overdrive, our downloadable audio program is a neat tool that I find very useful. There are times that I am lazy enough to read a book that I have already read before. The neat thing about it is that I don't have to burn the audiobook from my hard drive of my PC to a disc since I am not currently using an IPOD but Creative Lab Zen M. It is pretty simple to use and everything is right on the screen. For the 23 things project, I tried listening to an exerpt of The Time Maching by H.G. Welles. It has been a while since I read the book or even listen to it. The book itself is a classic and at the time it was released, most of the scientist at the time can't believe what they were reading. Most of the scientist were clamoring that no one could time travel using a machine. According to them it would take light years for someone to do that. This book put H.G. Welles as one of the prolific Science Fiction authors to have come from the 20th century.

YouTube

YouTube....I have been fiddling around with youtube for quite some time now. I actually have a page of my own where I uploaded some videos that deemed appropriate. If you want to visit my page just click JP's Youtube site. I find youtube fun to do since I can find shows in there from foreign countries which I normally watch. I can also get updated with different shows especially from the Philippines and China where I try to watch often as well as Japanese and Korean shows. If I cannot find any videos on this site, I try other options like CrunchyRoll or Veoh. Crunchyroll is a site that normally has a lot of foreign telenovelas especially from Korea subtitled and complete while Veoh is a mix of youtube videos and crunchyroll.

This is just one of the videos that I have subscribed and put in my favorites on my youtube account. This is from the Korean show We Just Married, Episode 8:
