Open Source Code

I believe that fair use is a beneficial concept to use when growing an emerging resource. By allowing an unlimited number of individuals to work on promoting a science, piece of work or whatever you are using, there is a virtual worldwide pool of knowledge contributed to it. When an article, movie, or software is freely shared, not only is the material grown exponentially, it is essentially freely distributed for all to see, use and improve. The most notable resource that I thought of was linux. To think that a college student could begin one of the most stable operating systems is very inspirational.

Website Plans

The website that I create will be geared towards student/parent access. This will be highly theoretical as none of my students can access the net and many have no parents or no parental involvement. That's kind of part of the reason most of them are in here. I would use the home page as a link to assignments, grades and course activities. Graphics are likely limited to landscapes and logos.

Simple Man

I probably don't fit into the mold of this class. I like simple pages without a lot of glitter and glamor. The sites that I appreciate the most are those that get right to the point and don't have a lot of flash. I prefer sites that give me the information that I want without a bunch of graphics to slow down the page loading. One of my favorite news sites is The Drudge Report.
I used to enjoy the nascar home page much more than the current one. The web designers have changed the layout and added video and graphics to the home page. Before it changed, you had to link to another page before there was anything other than text news with links embedded. For my last favorite site, I'll choose snopes. It is a site that debunks or verifies urban legends and myths. They have it set up straight forward and to the point.
