I can’t believe school is almost over…

I’ve learned alot over the year. About myself, surroundings and the world.

Right now, I’m sitting in a choir room seat. All depressed and tired. I’ve done alot this passed year. From making slideshows to actually helping of making a short movie. I’ve changed from my old freshmen self to an adult.

I’ve admited some of my closest secrets, lied about what I do, helped until I fell tired and weak. I’ve used up all my energy and feel good about it.

I’ve come up onto my senior year and I question what’s in store for me. I help with my hosting’s support team and clean up the school whenever I can. I’ve strived to be a student mentor and failed abit.

*sigh* I might take it easy for the summer. I have many friends and I hope to spend time with them.

Sincerely,
Alex C.

• My interview skills is very good. I’ve done it many of times

• Yes I have! I interviewed about 9 people. (Yes, I’ve been counting!)

• A successful interview means….
• Asking a question in several different ways (You may get different answers!)
• Keep on track. (Try to avoid questions that may get long answers)
• Having Fun and Try to relate to them.

• The most important questions you ask is…
• Your Name….(Duh…)
• Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Hello everyone.

If you live in the US and watched the national news recently, you heard about high school shootings in Ohio. My prayers are towards the victims of this tragady and to the town of chardon over all.

My biggest wonder about this is why the student didn’t go see a adult about his bullying issues. Heck, I used to be bullied a lot in Elementary and Middle School. I just went ahead and told my parent. It worked no issues. Did he not know how to express his feelings other than violence?

I’m just saying what I think and I hope I didn’t offend anyone.

Talk back in the comments about what you think.

If you are just visiting or a return visitor, I protested along with Google and others in order to show my point of view into SOPA and PIPA.

For people who don’t know,

SOPA and PIPA is a bill that will start online censorship in the United States. Sure, it’ll help the Entertainment Sector like Sony, Electronic Arts, and other companies. But, It’ll also cripple alot of popular sites like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and others.

I respect the Entertainment industry but It’s more like shooting without looking. I came across another bill that could be a good alternative to the bills in congress. It’s called OPEN (Online Protection and ENforcement of Digital Trade). I actually recommend backing this one due to more reasonable terms.

Anyways, I would like to thank you for hanging in there as I protested. I do encourage people to have free speech and a say in government.

Thanks,

Alex Cox

You hear a lot of talk about the cloud and how it’s becoming more popular. I personally “live” on the cloud. This means… All of my music, documents, videos, business info, and apps are all on the internet. Thanks mostly to Google. Now that doesn’t mean that we should all get chromebooks instead of regular laptops. I both have a laptop and chromebook (cr-48). I still use my laptop because Chromebook – Internet = Paperweight. Want to know how all of this is possible? I’ll give you some apps I use to get everything together.

Google Apps

You should’ve seen this coming for a tech individual. Google Apps is full of web apps that everyday people use. I don’t just use Google Apps but I use it mostly for all my work at school. (Hint: I’m using it right now) Basically, I use Google Apps for my music (Google Music) , my documents (Google Docs), my schedule (Google Calendar), and a lot more.

Picnik & YouTube

Photo and Video Editing is very helpful in making presentations and slideshows. Picnik is an online photo editing program which allows you to create calendars, collages, or do basic editing like adding text and effects. YouTube is great for viewing videos funny and viral but did you know that you can now make videos with its built in Video Maker? It’s new so do expect more features soon!

ZumoDrive & ASUS Webstorage

Two web storages that I use currently are ZumoDrive and ASUS Webstorage. Everything on my laptop is on the cloud. I’m literally living on the cloud. Now That doesn’t mean that I don’t keep backups of everything. (Just in case the internet blows up)

In conclusion, Living on the cloud is not an impossible task but it’s very easy and useful. Thanks to the numerous web apps that started appearing, we can basically live on the web. Thanks for reading!

Alright, I gave you my Resolutions. How about yours? Give your Resolutions in the Comments!

P.S. Do you like the new look?

Heh.

I’m sitting down in the Living Room writing this when one of my friends started using TwitCam for the first time… I gave her some advice which she was blushing.. I feel a bit sad now because she was even more blushing..

I remember my first time being on television even though she was on the web. It was about 2 years ago around this time. Somehow, it ended up being on YouTube. See it below (I’m the person in the orange shirt).

I was a nervous wreck being on television. I was sick and couldn’t speak right… I still fall back on it as a reminder to myself that people has different perception on things…especially with a camera in your face. I thought that that’ll be my last post of the year.

With That Said, I wish everyone a Good and Happy Holidays. I’ll see you in 2012!

Lookout, iTunes, Google Music is going to give you a run for your money. Most people have huge music libraries. We’ve been collecting songs for years and have diverse tastes. And we have a lot of electronic devices. From our laptops to our smartphones to our tablets, there are a lot of music files to sync. A whenever we get a new album or song, which we do all the time, we have to sync again. It can be a frustrating process just to keep everything updated with our new files and current tastes. Google Music will help us out with all of that. Just download the Google Music app. Here are some of things to love about Google Music.

Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is the future of computing, and one of the most useful places for it is in our music libraries. Because we have so many places we listen to music, it’s so much easier if we can retrieve the files from the cloud instead of connecting devices and taking the time to import. We won’t have to synch every so often, because everything will be available all the time on the cloud. Anything we purchase on Android Market will be instantly added to Google Music, which means we will instantly be able to access it anywhere. We do need to be connected to the Internet to access our music, but we can also save files to our device directly from the cloud so they’re available to us offline, too.

Space and Organization

With Google Music we can save up to 20,000 songs for free. This is a huge amount of music, so we won’t have to go through the painful process of picking and choosing which albums we want to listen to the most, and then realizing we left out something important. Just store everything with Google Music. Also, all the music will be conveniently organized in one place. The Google Music app has an easy-to-use interface to make your listening experience smooth and simple. With all your music stored in the cloud, you will have more space on your devices for everything else.

Sharing

You can also let your friends listen to your music for free. Any song that you purchase from the Android Market can be shared via your Google+ page, and everyone will get a free listen. Share your favorites and spread the joy.

Discovering

Google Music will help you out with discovering great new artists and bands anytime you want. You can browse the Android Market for thousands of songs, and Google Music will provide you with suggestions for more music you might love, based on your own selections and library. It’s a great way to find interesting new music to add to your collection. You can also get brand new playlists with the Instant Mix feature that will shuffle and group your music for you for a fresh and different look at your music.

So far, Google Music has gotten great reviews by users. It has an average rating of 3.9 starts in the Android Market, and just a glance at the comments reveals that most users love it and even prefer it to iTunes. It is still early, so developers are working on improving it every day. Give Google Music and shot and you just might never go back to listening any other way.

Hey Everyone!

I’ve been on a huge hiatus from my site!

I’ve been dealing with my Business (ACS Tech Solutions)  and my current life with MyCOM. Even though I’m getting back into the habit of my life, I’m going to try to get youth guest bloggers to express their feeling about happening around their neighborhood.
