On the MMORPG Runescape, I created an outfit for my character, and then placed her in an "ominous" location for a Halloween-themed photo.

    Hi Jasmine,
    I'm very excited to see your post, I'm also a player of MMORPG for now, but a different one from Runescape. Inside that game we also have different festival celebration and players are asked to do various tasks based on what festival we are celebrating in the game. The system designs new costumes whenever there is a new festival coming up, and the environment will also be a little bit different than before. That's why the game gives me a sense of freshness and celebration of events. Since the weather is getting colder, I placed my character on the roof on top of a mountain where temperature is low and snow is heavy, when I was taking this photo my character was shaking indicating he was also cold.

Blog: P2P

File-sharing is the act of distributing, or sharing, digital files that can be Ebooks, pictures, documents, etc. P2P file-sharing is the same as file-sharing, just that it involves the use of P2P technology (such as a network or software). In the article "The BitTorrent Effect" by Clive Thompson, the P2P file-sharing network Kazaa is brought up. The article states, "If two peers try to swap a compressed copy of Meet the Fokkers - say, 700 megs - the recipient will receive at a speedy 1.5 megs a second, but the sender will be uploading at maybe one-tenth of that rate. Thus, one-to-one swapping online is inherently inefficient. It's fine for MP3s but doesn't work for huge files." This is an issue people face with P2P because there are more people downloading than uploading. Sharing the movie Meet the Fokkers is an example of P2P file-sharing because it is done through Kazaa rather than emailing someone directly. Another example of P2P file-sharing would ...

Blog: Advice

I would advise Baruch College to use sites such as Facebook or Twitter to post updates on the school. They could make posts such as letting students know if there are any events like the career fair going on, or if the school is going to be closed on a certain day. Another website that Baruch could use is YouTube to post informative videos for students. Video demonstrations could be made to show how CunyFirst works for enrolling into classes. There could also be video tours of the school posted so students who are new will know where Student Advisement is located.

New media has allowed an average person to be able to learn how to create and upload their own videos. The growth of YouTube made it so television and radio were no longer the only options to share one's talent or idea for a show. A Parody is defined by Merriam-Webster as "A literary or musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule." and parody videos once were extremely popular on YouTube. Mash-ups are another popular video genre where people can show their creativity. In the article, "Disney Tolerates a Rap Parody of Its Critters. But Why?" by Brooks Barnes, Dan Martinsen, a Nickelodeon spokesman was quoted saying, " Our audiences can creatively mash video from our content as much and as often as they like." and, ". . . that was a very nice edit job by whoever did the SpongeBob mash". It is rare that an employee of a big entertainment company notices the work of an average person,...
