Videos and Election Results

I am gradually beginning to post all of the videos I have helped produce with my digital journalism group. Unfortunately I have been experiencing a constant issue with uploading the videos to the blog.

For now I will have to post the youtube links to the videos while I try to figure out what the potential solution is to the video upload feature.

Cooking With Jessica - A profile piece on Jessica Goldstein and her love for cooking

RWU 2008 Mens Basketball Preview - A look at the 08-09 Basketball crew while preparing for their winter season.

RWU Mascot Swoop - An investigation of the mascot that was virtually unseen on campus prior to homecoming weekend.

I'll keep attempting to post the videos directly to the blog but until then, the youtube videos are actually a lot more visually pleasing.

The 2008 Presidential Election finally came to a close. As myself and so many people had hoped, Barack Obama won. I think it is still hitting me how historic an event this is. I think the most remarkable image that I will remember from Tuesday night for the rest of my life is The Reverend Jessie Jackson standing in the crowd with tears in his eyes. I found this particularly powerful because of Jackson's historic involvement in the civil rights movement.

I cant express enough how excited I am to be able to see light at the end of a tunnel that is growing. I cant say for sure that Obama will be a great president. Nonetheless, the promise that Obama represents is beyond speculation. Things are changing in America and hopefully it is for the better.

Weekend Report

Gotta love Halloween weekend. My constituents and I have made it through the weekend in one piece and are now looking forward to the evening Patriots game.

I am working on figuring out the whole Template situation for my blog...so far I haven't been able to find what I want and then successfully upload it. I'll be looking through my "Blogging for Dummies" book sometime soon to get some answers on that. But for now Mr. Bean is what you're gonna get. I'm considering leaving it up but who knows.

Finally, I'm real excited about Tuesday's election. It's sure to be a big mess and when the dust settles it will all have been an historic moment. This will be my first time voting in any respect at all so I'm looking forward to that.

First Independant Blog Post

Well it's time I officially became a blogger of independent status. I have been part of a blog so with a group from a class and so far that has been an interesting endeavor. I'm looking forward to posting the content that I have produced with that group on this blog in the near future as this blog will serve as a commentary and exhibition of both my personal life as well as professional.
