Research Project/Universal Flags
I am choosing to research Flags that are Universal and non-political in nature. Flags that encourage or symbolize Global Peace and Freedom for the entire Global Community.
I am interested in this type of flag because in 2002, I created a World/Universal Flag, which took thirteen years to make. It's name is BLU, an acronym for B~being L~love U~universally. BLU is a flag symbolizing Universal Love, Peace, Freedom, and Equality for ALL citizens of Earth and a flag that includes Earth and the Natural World in its representation.
I believe there must be other people on this planet who felt the same calling and I am interested in seeing other creations of this type of flag.

Part III Assignment
I purchased a thumb drive today after some research. I also signed up for mac.com as I found out I could also store 1GB on that site among other things I felt would be useful. A file folder was created on the thumb drive and a text doc in the file folder. Navigated some more on delicious, took a look at some other blogs and tagged a few websites that interested me, especially sites on color for some reason.
I also got a external hard drive as I have so much on my computer. So, I will use this weekend to organize and place my files on it,finally cleaning up the computer/desktop.
Been working with the short cuts and do find it easier, just now it takes more time to remember and many times to look them up in my notes. Know it will help in the long run.

Whew, finally set up!
The day started with trying to do everything in safari and we used firefox last night. So, I decided to download firefox so it all would be recognizable to what we did last night. I then downloaded Delicious and was delightful to see a screen that resembled last nights in class. I then looked into Delicious and found a website I was personally interested in and included it in my bookmarks.
Going over my notes, I realized I sent Lena duplicate delicious accounts instead of my delicious and blog account. I then realized I couldn't get into my blog account. So after reading over everything I now figured out how to get in there to post my
first official blog.
It was amazing to relearn getting around the computer with the shortcuts. I know it will be easier in the long run, it just took longer today to go back to my notes and remember what keys to use.
It feels a bit like learning a foreign language.
What I would like to get out of the class is to be efficient on MAC,and using it as a creative tool. To become familiar with graphic software programs; Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator. And if we have time, I would love to learn about video, sound and animation. I would like to understand enough that when I come upon an obstacle, I can quickly and effectively move through it using help. And that I have a working vocabulary in regards to all aspects of the computer and its uses. Rather then spend time on a research project, I would rather spend more time on the different software programs.I would love to professionally take my many projects and ideas to the next level.
Well, I have used help with Blogspot, and 'spotlight' to find things, like the dictionary, that I now have in my dock along with firefox. I was choosing to use shortcuts as much as possible. It really is easier using firefox then safari with the shortcuts given in class. I do miss the familiarity of Safari.
