Final Project Summary

John and I presented our final project on Tuesday, May 1st.

I thought it was a tremendous success and I believe it was received really well by the entire class. We put a heck of a lot of work into this final and I'm glad it went so well!

Here's the link to our final project: Millumax Media. This blog will give you access to everything we did! How nifty!

I read good.

That was a horribly incorrect sentence, but I am all out of creative title posts right now.

Here is a mixture of blogs, books, and magazines that I really enjoy.

1. My favorite author is Harper Lee, who wrote 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' She only has one published novel, but it is a revolutionary, honest, and beautiful piece of work. Here is a link to her website.




Sometimes I like to hold my reading.
2. I'd consider myself pretty crafty and my favorite book is The Big-Ass Book of Crafts written by Mark Montano. He has some very entertaining and instructive literature.

3. In order to remain an informed citizen I like to read The Nation magazine. I know this contains more than one author, but it generally has a consistent style among writers.

4. Another magazine which I really enjoy is Vice. Their off-beat, quirky, and informative style is highly amusing for me.



In case you didn't know, I like blogs a lot. I have a strange mix of news, entertainment, and food blogs which are constantly in my reading list.

5. The Rachel Maddow Show's behind-the-scenes blog. Rachel Maddow is also a phenomenal writer and her new book Drift is on my to-read list.

6. The Vegetarian Times blog helps me find delicious recipes and there are other lifestyle-type articles throughout the magazine.

7. Another food-inspired blog called Spoon Fork Bacon. I love the layout of this blog and how content-rich it is.

8. One of the most entertaining cooking shows and best online blog/community is Bitchin' Kitchen. I have both of the published cookbooks which are equally entertaining.




9. There are times when I like to be a little self-righteous and eat vegan meals. The Vegan Stoner isn't much reading, but it is a definite influence in my blogging. I like the simple and quirky style in which they provide recipes for readers.





10. I love sarcastic and strange people. The blog Verbal Vomit is witty, hilarious, and really well written/illustrated. I especially love her posts about how to be a hipster.
