Just doing a quick tech tip with SoundCloud here. I haven't messed with the website much prior to this, but it's pretty cool. I'll have to look into it some more after this.
I was looking through the tracks thinking of what I wanted to post, and I thought of this song. I think it's very fitting at this time of year.
This one's for Bowie.

Reading Plans
Ok, so I started looking through the readings for the rest of the class, and there are a lot of options. That said, I think I found the next thing I want to read:
Cox's Tales of Ancient India
As I was going through the options, I thought that it would be cool to read a little more about Krishna, but I also felt like I didn't know too much about the Hindu gods. Low and behold, I found both, in one book. So, I think I'll start with this. I think it will help fill in the gaps of my Hindu knowledge and might give me direction on where I'd like to go next.
I'd also like to read some more of the graphic novels in Bizzel. I really enjoyed the story of Ravana,and I'd like to see more in the same vain. Besides, I'm a sucker for good art. Here's some of the ones I'm looking at:
Ramayan 3392 - They had me at SciFi, enough said. Apparently it's post-apocalyptic. Wait, I have a picture for this:
Divine Beings - I don't know a whole lot about these characters, and I think they may be a useful supporting cast for my storybook.
Krishna - Krishna's an interesting character who is hard to nail down, and I think a more modern take on him might help.
Lastly, I wasn't able to find anything really focusing on Yama but I'd like to read a story or two about him to help me visualize him as a character. I think I'll look around and see if I can find anything out there, but for now, I think I've got enough options to move forward.

Blog Ideas: Theming
Here are links to some interesting blogs I found while looking through the class sites:
http://jasminepyeo.blogspot.com/
http://honeyandhenna.blogspot.com/
http://lexiconoflore.blogspot.com/
After looking through several of the blogs, I have to say one feature stood out to me the most. It was good theming. Jasmine, Dijon, and Lore all did a great job of give their website a cohesive nature. That's something I'd like to work on for my blog. It definitely needs a face lift. I haven't done much with it since the start of the semester. I mean, it's just too orange, but I haven't decided on a color yet. Maybe red, or green. Green might be good. Anyways, I'll have to contemplate it, but I think I'll try to do some updating this week and give my blog a theme more in line with myself.

Time, It's all relative
Wow, it's week 8. Just, wow.
So, my schedule was pretty close to what I had originally planned. However, Electronics Lab took up a lot more time than it should have. But, I think I've got a steady pace in there now.
Tuesdays are working pretty well, but Thursdays are where I've had to make a good bit of change. I originally planned to do the whole second half on Thursdays, but my time for this class was also the only time my E-Lab partner could meet up to finish up our labs, so I've only been able to do a quarter on Thursdays, and I do the remaining over the weekend. My goal is to do all the extra on (or by) Saturday. I think I'll break it up into thirds for the new plan.
Here's my plan for the second half:
Tuesday: Reading 1 and 2
Thursday: Storytelling, Start Project
Saturday: Finish Project, Project Feedback, Blog Comments
