On May 3rd, 2008, RIT is hosting an festival called Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival. They plan to attract 30,000 people.
The festival will be a showcase over 150 different exhibits of student and faculty work and innovations at RIT. From space exploration to eye tracking devices to innovative websites. See the full list of exhibit titles.
An exhibit for my website, BookMaid.com has been approved so I will be at the event.
After watching a presentation at my college, Rochester Institute of Technology, by Lawrence Lessig, founder of the Creative Commons, I’ve decided to license all my artwork under a Creative Commons license.
I’ve licensed all my artwork (in my gallery) under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
I think that everyone should do this to at least some of their work. It helps people avoid copyright problems and helps promote the sharing of information.
So I get home Sunday from New York, and sitting on my computer desk is a package from Gratis Internet in Missouri. I open it up and see a black tee shirt, and a small box containing a brand new 30GB 7500 song iPod at a retail value of 300 US Dollars.
How much did I pay?
$0.00
…and no one believed I would get it!
What did I have to do?
Well, I signed up for Real Rhapsody, a music service. It costed me $0.99 for the first month, and I just canceled it before I had to pay anymore. During that time I advertised the hell out of the offer, trying to get at least 5 people to sign up. After a month or so, I managed to get 6 people to sign up AND complete an offer like I did. In less than a week, I had my brand new iPod along with a iPod shirt.
By choosing one of these people, you will help them get their ipod. They all need 5 in all. DO NOT sign up for a free iPod without clicking one of those links!
I went on my Senior Class trip with my class to New York City. It was so much fun. I took a bunch of photos, Check them out!
Finally! The site is released. I’ve worked hours upon hours of programming each page and script, editing the images, and testing the site. I am really excited about it.
I hand-coded this site was from scratch. I used NO pre-made scripts or templates. Everything is SO much easier when a site is made using PHP! I now have admin panel where I can edit all the content of the pages, add new images, and track users and the traffic to and from the site.
I have this site going in two different directions: Personal and Business. I’m trying to make it as business like as I can, yet I’m thinking of making this a blog-type site as well. It’ll depend on how the business goes.
I’d just like to thank Paul for helping me with a small problem with the comments system.
Please help me improve this site! If you experience any problems, please send me an e-mail.
More Updates Coming Soon!
