It's True... Avatars Can Dance!
My exploration into the world of new media has taught me one thing... even as an avatar, I have unforgettable dance moves!
I finally tried out Second Life and have to say, it's just not my thing!
I joined a dance party and was given Shiraz and other welcoming gifts but I was sent messages in either a foreign language or a toddler smacking the keyboard... "ouwfubav waourubrg!"
If you're curious about dancing in cyberspace, I finally have the basics of Second Life down - and when I say basics I mean, I can download the program, teleport and make friends, but that's about it.
Unlike many new media tools like Twitter, Facebook and even YouTube that are very intuitive, Second Life is frustrating and it's "tutorial" on "Help island" taught me nothing!
Maybe someday Second Life will be as user-friendly as Twitter but until then, I think I'll stick to my Wii Active :)

Surgery... yuck!
I tore my meniscus and had surgery on Tuesday which means I've been on the couch sleeping for over two days now.
I've been thinking about what exactly I want to do for my project and I think the main focus will be a PR campaign (I am a Public Communications major) surrounding the events that will actually take place in September while celebrating 30 years.
I want to make the party memorable and use new media like videos and blogs.
The clip I will be uploading later today will serve as an examples for what I want people to sent in to me, wherever they are in the world, sharing their Zohar moments.
In addition to this lengthy campaign, I will be attempting to rebuild Zohar's website which is VERY outdated - I am a newbie at web design and am either going to use Joomla or WordPress - our TA has be helpful in sharing information about the two - does anyone out there have any suggestions?
