What makes a community

You might ask, what makes a community? Well, people make a community in are case. People that share the same interest in something make up a community. You may be 4'11 and another person may be 7'2 but you both "Love" the color blue, so technically you both are part of a community in a way.
Same goes for people online. for example I am part of plenty of communities on the web like millions of others. here goes a few.
MYSPACE
ESPN
GOOGLE
YAHOO
HOTMAIL

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A COMMON INTEREST WITH OTHER PEOPLE THAT IS A COMMUNITY EVEN IF ITS ONLINE. THERE IS SO MUCH IN COMMON WITH ONLINE COMMUNITIES AND PHYSICAL COMMUNITIES!

Dot.com to dot.Bomb

From the "Prodigy dinosaur" everything went SOUTH. I don't understand how something like this could get so animated and blow up. It just seems creepy since I was unaware of this occurring.

Buying Online

I think online buying is good I don't see how it can be dangerous. II don't think you can ever be 100 percent careful when purchasing things over the Internet, its easier shopping I purchased a phone from Tmobile three weeks ago, It made me a bit nervous paying for it with my debit card, but I have been with the company for 4 years, and haven’t had a problem with my card beforeCraigs lists gives you the opportunity to communicate with your buyers/sellers. You can get pictures, and bid for that items purchase price to be dropped. If you haven’t tried buying something online, you may consider giving it a try.

Book Review

The book I choose to read is World Without Secrets.
This book explains how the future moving us towards a world of ever-present computing-a world in which we are surrounded by smart machines that are constantly on, always aware, and always monitoring us. These developments will create a world virtually without secrets in which information is widely available and analyzable worldwide. This environment will certainly affect business, government, and the individual alike, dramatically affecting the way organizations and individuals interact. This book explores the implications of the coming world and suggests and explores policy options that can protect individuals and organizations from exploitation and safeguard the implicit contract between employees, businesses, and society itself.

Should be interesting to read.

Kevin Freteis

Well, we had another guest speaker. Kevin Freteis, is a NW native graduate of PLU. Senior web developer, site drafting in Tacoma. He was the 6th person hired there, now they have 15. They do business with artist, government, home developers etc...

What was cool to me about Mr. Frateis is that he has his own website. It is so unique. kevinfreitas.net The reason why he set up his website was to get out emotions, thoughts. He has been blogging for just about ten years. He uses his real name, no nick names.
This website allows others to blog, post pictures, use web cam, has calendar. So much stuff that it should cost money to use lol.
Check out the pictures when you go to the site, there amazing!!!!!

Another cool thing that Kevin has going is feedtacoma.com This site give valuable information about what is going on in Tacoma. He gets some help from others that post events, they get alot of traffic going through. Look at the comments that are made, they can be anything that occurs in the area. One may comment on a restaurant that they went to, or something they seen.
Tacoma has had a bad rep, but this site shows the good that Tacoma has.

Check it out!!!

"All About Your Name "

When I went online and typed in my name this is what I found out about it:

Origin: If not synonymous with Parry, it is local, from Pierre (French), a stone, signifying a stony place, abounding in rocks.

27% of the letters are vowels. Of one million first and last names we looked at, 87.6% have a higher vowel make-up. This means you are poorly envoweled.

1. Backwards, it is Dnomal Yrrep... nice ring to it, huh?
2. In Pig Latin, it is Amondlay Errypay.
3. In ASCII binary it is...
   

People with this first name are probably: Male or female... We don't know yet. We're working on it!

3 things you didn't know:

---

1. Your personal power animal is the Colombian Cougar
2. Your 'Numerology' number is 6. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are responsible, careful, and compassionate. A giver, you are there to support and care for the most vulnerable.
3. According to the US Census Bureau°, fewer than 0.001% of US residents have the first name and 0.094% have the surname 'Perry'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 0
