Rainy Friday

The instructions for this assignment call for us to create two posts in addition to the one about Microsoft Office 2007 that was prescribed in detail within the book.

For my second post, I just wanted everyone to know that it is raining. It is not raining hard -- just enough to make a pleasant sound as it hits the roof of beautiful Reneau Hall. Unfortunately, such noise makes me sleepy and I have many hours before I get off work.

Welcome to the class

I just want to take the opportunity to welcome everyone to BU 399 Sp. Topics: Web 2.0 Technologies. I am really excited to have each and every one in this course. I look forward to learning how to create and navigate through several of the most popular Web 2.0 Technologies such as blogging. By the end of this course, we will all be masters at creating blogs, embedding streaming video, creating podcasts, editing video, and even making money from our own user-generated content.

Microsoft Office 2007 for Students -- Cheap

Microsoft is running an offer especially for college students called The Ultimate Steal. For a limited time, students can obtain a copy of Microsoft 2007 Ultimate Edition for only $59.95. To qualify for this offer, you must be enrolled at a US educational institution and have a valid e-mail address that ends in the edu domain. Considering this package is available at retail for around $500, this is a fantastic deal for students. So check it out and save some $$$ today.

Even though you can download the software from the Web site, you should also consider purchasing (for an additional fee) the software on DVD. This will make reinstalling the software much easier in the future in case you have a problem (such as your hard drive fails).
