Mom's new haircut and color!!!!!!

Mom....went to some young, hot hairdresser guy from Texas(don't know why he is in Galesburg) and got a COOL haircut and color.....she wanted everyone to see it.

Austin days

I went  to the annual kite festival in Austin and was amazed.  Has anyone seen over 10,000 kites in the sky?  Kids were crying all over the place because the strings were tying up with other kites.   The pic with the tree in it was loaded with kites by the end of the day-all stuck.   The last picture is me putting a hat on harley because it was getting hot out and he doesn't like the sun in his eyes.

Still working on the animated still

Jim got the job.

Well, update..on our life.
Jim got the job at Caterpillar. He starts April ...fools day I think. Just kidding. He works 11:30 at night till 7:30 in the morning. I guess its called Graveyard Shift. Yea...jim will feel like he's in a graveyard after working that all night. This is someone that has been in a lax .....mood working when him and his partner need to. Like jim has never punched a clock...wow..

But, its good for Jim who has lost all feeling in his knees after working on them putting in carpet for years. He will now be a grinder, grinding engines for the war. I'm kidding but I think Caterpillar is doing so well because of the war. Just my opinion. Now Jim needs glasses. Funny how you start falling apart when you hit your 40's. But, we better get him some glasses or he might grind his fingers off. Oh well.....thats the update. Now I need a job...yea...oh..by the way,,,,,I graduate...may 9th...at 7 pm..i think that's a saturday....

Conference Presentation at ISU

Well, over spring break...next week I will be writing a proposal for an English teaching symposium on March 21. I applied as a class assignment and they chose me to present. Kind of scared as I'm up there with PHD people but it will probally help me to Network with ISU people.....here is my proposal.....

Christine D. Bradford
Master of Science Student in Arts Technology

Feb. 21, 2008
Conference Proposal:
"Using Adobe PhotoShop and Participatory Art Methodology to Engage Students."

"Photoshop is a powerhouse in the graphics industry but modern classroom techniques have taken this software giant and utilized it as a tool for active engagement and creative exchanges between students. I will be presenting the notion that using participatory art best seen in its most literal form, using the human participants designing the art is an online phenomenon. Recreating art using an online phenomenon of Photoshop Wars is forming a new dimension. I will have participants utilizing the software to send a single image back and forth, altered further, to expand the imagery and make learning fun."
"In this presentation we will discuss participatory art creation like PhotoShop Wars, the tools to create this art, and some of the uses for this new online art phenomenon. We will look at two distinct combinations using the Internet distinctly and in another case the Internet as the assembler in the participatory art form." This new media process can be a method for extending the teaching of art processes and include many paths for the student to extend their curiosity.

Hilary Clinton

Hilary Clinton was downtown cowtown last week and I got the chance to see her on my lunch break. I am not sure if she is who I want to run the country, but it was a really neat experience to see a former First Lady. It helped me see that she is a real person, not just a celebrity, and who knows maybe I will run for President some day. HAHAHA Just Kidding. I would not want that responsibility.
