Title: Keeping It Reel 1: Awards Rundown

What caught my eye was the play on words in the name of this podcast. Because it is a podcast that does reviews on movies keeping it REEL instead of REAL really stood out. This is a podcast that was run by 90’s radio host Phil Gordon who goes by the moniker Film Gordon, being that he sees himself as sort of a movie expert. He does a few different movie reviews and even gives advice for movies to see that came out before he had the podcast to review them.

This was the 1^st episode that was according to Phil, 8 months in the making.

This is a podcast that features a call-in number which allows the listener to be active and not by email but live phone call which takes me back to my introduction to podcasts. Some of the movies that were spoken about were: Twilight New Moon, Pressure and Armor which all seemed to have a decent storyline for the viewer to enjoy. Me personally I wouldn’t go out of my way to see those movies but after hearing about them I could picture myself seeing what they are about… maybe when the get to Redbox.

"It Is What It Is" ~ Podcast

Episode 7 ~ One Helluva Night

Well to start I think it is funny that they talk about the upcoming election that is for them 2 weeks out. On this podcast they deal with different concerts and they go into which ones were the best that they’ve seen. But before they went into that, they did a brief tech review about the new Samsung s8 and also the new Nintendo Switch. Me personally, I have an ipega- 9023 gaming controller for my 10 inch tablet. The Nintendo switch will be a perfect blend of the past and present and it really shows how gaming can be done on pc, mac, phone or tablet.

They also reviewed the new Touchscreen Apple MacBook 15inch for $2400 being a down payment on a car.

They type of concerts that were reviewed were collaborative concerts, free concerts and local to national performers. The concerts and performers that they reviewed were:

Lupe Fiasco: Under the Arts show. Reported to be a good local show.

Drake’s Summer 16 featuring Future was reported to be very lyrical.

Beyoncé- Reported that She has a Mega screen for her Formation tour and has a wonderful singing voice.

And last but not least was the Helluva Night Concert which featured: Chris Brown, Kid Ink, Omarion and Feddi Wap. And this collaborative concert reportedly went off without a hitch.

After writing this review I did not see a RSS feed.

Shift Still Happening

The post that I’m commenting on this time was submitted by MeinGottInHImmel on November 9, 2009 to shifthappens.wikispaces.com. It was entitled Profoundly upset by this video When first watching the video I too started to mistake it for propaganda but in quickly realizing how fortunate I was to be in line with where the world is moving, I am happy that I have been investing the time and energy in learning the things I will need to know to stay afloat. If you look at the did you know web 2.0 as simply propaganda, then you aren’t realizing the truth of the matter; technology is where it is and where it is going to be and if we don’t take this gold rush seriously we will end up without any nuggets.

While I understand while some people may interpret this as something that is scary when it is something to be incredibly excited about and proud to have a hand in its start so why back away when there are still major benefits to be reaped. There is a big difference between encouragement and propaganda. The main difference is the presence of lies and the bending of the truth. In the review that I read there was no mention of lies being stated in the video. The writer said this seems like a paranoid gasp of a “Failing Empire”. I feel that if that person admitted that the empire is failing, then they should be at the front of this thing waving the flag to help prevent that from happening. I think we all have our own opinions and we should be careful how we use them.

Shift Keeps Happening

Another post that I will be speaking about from shifthappens.wikispaces.com is by lydiak4 January 21, 2010. It is entitled Technology Makes Our Lives Easier. As it relates to the web 2.0 video the post talks about how things have progressed so far in so little time. I agree with the statements that with us being the technology generation we have to take full advantage of the opportunities that are literally in our hands. This world is quickly advancing and I am running in stride. http://wikiweb2point0.wikispaces.com/

This was a discussion post from shifthappens.wikispaces.com by pkrimmer January 21, 2010. It is titled What Technology do Students Need? I feel that it is very important and pertains to the did you know 2.0 video very much because if students don’t have the correct tools it will start them out at a disadvantage. And since other places like China and India seem to make sure their youths are properly equipped with the educational tools that are needed. A funny thing mentioned in the post was that children in the U.S. are advancing fast with all the technology available today and children as young as 7 are operating cellular phones and computers which was not the case many years ago.

Del.icio.us Review.us

When selecting the first two bookmarks for del.icio.us I saw that nine people also bookmarked What Is Web 2.0 by Tim O’reilly. Then I saw that only a few more had bookmarked Harnessing Collective Intelligence by Tim O’reilly. But I thought it was funny when there were 100 other people that had bookmarked the “Dumbness of Crowds.” I thought it had a lot of good information and was a worthy bookmark. The advantage of Del.icio.us would be the ability to neatly store an emporium of bookmarks with the ability of reaching them on any device that you have. Because I’m fairly new to Del.icio.us I’m not so sure what the cons can be but I not remembering the name of the website would be a pretty good end all.

Flickr Clickr

My experience with Flickr was nice and smooth. I had fun and enjoyed the whole process from start to finish. Watching the video how to use Flickr helped a lot and is what made everything smooth although the setup was very user friendly depending on the browser. I had to switch from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome for certain features and options to show up on the screen. But other than that, everything was fun. I can’t wait to see what else is in store. I searched for the similarly tagged photos under “web2.0” and there were 80,161 results and a funny censored Flickr picture of 2 frogs.
