Mr. West


Now... I wouldn't joke about Kanye.
But this is amazing, I have watched this video every day since it has come out, even though it's 34 minutes long.
It's basically a video to promote his new album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"... which I will definitely BUY not download. He deserves some money for this.

“Given how controversial West's every artistic gesture seems to have become, I have a feeling we'll be in for a round of dismissals of ‘Runaway’ as a pretentious piece. Instead, it deserves to be seen as a carefully modulated art-film made by a man on a mission.” By CNN

My friend is into the whole 'Illuminati" thing, she watched this video and just named all the hidden messages there are in this video/movie. And if course I researched it, I haven't found anything too good to show you, but I did find an amazing analogy on "Alejandro - Lady Gaga" (this is the link to the analogy btw). I love Lady Gaga, but she does scare this s***t out of me with videos like this. 

I would explain what the video is about, but I'm afraid you're just going to have to let it load and watch the whole 34 minutes of it. You will get bored a few times, but at the end you will kind of look back on it and think "wow, that was kind of amazing". 
I certainly did. 

And the models name is Selita Ebanks, she's a Victoria secret model (obviously) and in my eyes she completed this movie. I don't blame you if you google her straight away- I did too.  

So... Go watch the video.

P.S. If you don't like Kanye or you aren't into arty movies, then you really won't like this. 


... I promised



now... if you haven't heard this already, then you are missing out!
and pleaseee go listen to "I Need Air - Magnetic Man"

P.S. I'm winning the competition against Joshy boy, who thinks he can get more views than me... PFFF

Pretty Websites

Helloo there :-)

Another saturday, another piece of homework...
This one is about website designs, mainly the pretty one's that include css!
I loveeeeed this task, it gave me an opportunity to gather ideas for my own website that I'll be starting soon, and of course I'll be updating you with screen shots and feedback! And of course I "delicous-ed" all the websites I liked. ;-)

This "pretty" website, I found on http://www.thebestdesigns.com/... and this is what it looks like...

I know right, pretty!
But not only that, the features are great, seriously. Everything is on one page, which I know can sometimes be tacky, and haunting. But this design makes it look great. And the menu scrolls you straight to the category. It looks smart, simple and different. The text isn't too long, and contains everything you need to know. Thumbnails are used for pictures, and once you click one picture, it turns into a slideshow, meaning you don't have to click exit and click the next picture over and over again.
Not only that... but at the bottom of the page there is a "contact me" form...
Now, even though I don't want to hire this guy through this gorgeous contact form, I just want to tell him how much I adore his website. 

Here's the link to it: http://www.kevinmonger.co.uk/ 

I have actually just looked at this website for two minutes to see what I don't like about it... and I got nothing. 
Let me know if you don't like something about it, I'd love to know- for the benefit of my own future website. 

;-) take care all you bloggers...

ICT Review

Mornin', this is a task set by our ict teacher to write about the last lesson we had.
Last thursday we were asked by our ICT teacher to fill out a kind of...survey. It was to give our teacher an insight to what we think about his lessons and what could be improved. It included questions like "What do you think could be improved in theory lessons?" and we were expected to write quite in-depth answers, so that the survey would give our teacher more information and help him to change his lessons. I thought this was very different from any other teachers' attempts to change a lesson, or method of teaching.
I hope it does work, and may change some of the things we didn't enjoy, but at the end of the day we are at school... we're not supposed to enjoy it. ;-)

Good Interview Techniques

Yess, before you ask, this is my ICT homework.

This seems like quite an obvious and straight-forward thing people should know about, how to impress in an interview, but many fail to remember these techniques to score some points in an interview...
http://www.tfpl.com/recruitment/candidates/cvinterviews.cfm
has some really good advice, on what the interviewer is actually looking for, and how you can answer their questions the best. This is useful as you're getting the employers/interviewers perspective.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A438536
This is from BBC, and contains quite old fashioned techniques to impress your interviewer, which may help you with the preparation for your interview.

I will definately use these for my first interview :-)
