Blogging First Year Composition

After browsing the internet for seemingly minutes but what turns out to be hours, a person can find themselves in something that is totally unrelated to what was originally searched for. This recently happened to me as I tried to find a documentary that was recommended to me; however, I arrived at Steve Mould's youtube . His channel features many science experiments that he conducts on his show Festival Of The Spoken Nerd. Even if you aren't into science his experiments feature stunning visuals and a thorough description of what is going on that will allow a viewer to recount their amazement to anyone they need to. My favorite experiment deals with one of the original videos posted to the channel. The video, titled " Self siphoning beads ", showed metal beads initially being pulled out of a glass beaker, but the video does not end there as the beads then proceed to rise variably up and down from the point at which they started spooling out, contracting a fair a...

Blogs can serve many different purposes online. For example, they can provide information upon the political situation in America or the various goings on in the life of a suburban family. Depending on the type of blog, the information can be delivered differently. Upon looking at a multitude of blogs from " The Top 50 Blogger Blogs " I have developed my own opinion on what is to be desired in a blog to accomplish its specific purpose.

Hey fellow students and bloggers. For those of you that have yet to peruse the online introductions, I am Dylan Haftings. I am seventeen and from Manhattan, Kansas. Here at GCC, I am duo enrolled, so I spend most of my time at the college but a portion of the day must be spent at my high school. Overall, I am a pretty laid-back person who usually does all the work and has no problem helping other people out. My attitude is a reflection of my hobbies and what I enjoy doing. My favorite past time is reading, especially science fiction. Currently, I am reading the Malazan Empire series by Steven Erikson, and it is one of the better series that I have read. I am also an avid gamer, specifically RPG's; I think they're grand. Free time to do either of those things will probably be disappearing with the addition of this class to my schedule as I am sure some of you can concur with. I am taking this class and, by extension, writing this blog so I can get an English class out of the w...
