ROUGHER DRAFT -”Just the way your mother likes it”
My 1 billion graphic is going to change, along with my egglike represenation of children, besides a few minor touch ups I think im going int he right direction with this infographic at least.
Project 1 Ideas
There are many ideas for my infographics project this quarter and these a few of my ideas
Athletes who are in trouble with the law.
Ben Rothelisberger was recentally in the headlines for possible sexual assault charges, Michael Vick spent time in federal prison on dog fighting charges. It seems that athletes and criminals are almost on in the same here are a few articles documenting the trend.

Last Option; The State of Education in the United States
We like to think that since we live in America that our education system ranks among the best in the country this is not always so.
These states would be a one and half page spread
Information that will rock your graphical interface off!!
Infographics!
The true way to represent information in a form that many people can understand with ease. Inforgraphics are “visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used where complex information needs to be explained quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education.” We pass by an information graphic about 1000 times a day. Did you drive today? Did you look at a street sign? Congratulations you saw an infographic today; Time and research goes into all these signs you see. Here are two examples of other infographics.

What’s so different?
So the Difference…
So last week in class I had the joy of looking into AJAX. It turns out that it actually has nothing to do with bathroom cleaner. AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is based around Javascript and HTML. The sweet thing about AJAX is that it allows you to update certain areas of a page without having the reloard the entire page. This is a cool example that I found through the W3. I tried to actually incorporate my own example into this blog, but WordPress doesn’t like it.
Essentially AJAX is about making rich internet applications and more user-friendly like desktop applications.
I’m a sucker for Tilt-Shift…and Hulk Hogan
I am a huge sucker for tilt shift videos! Tilt Shift photos! Hell, Even pinball machines that say TILT cuz I shifted them!
