Examples of good netiquette are pointing out mistakes polietly. Bad netiquette IS USING ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU'RE SHOUTING! It may sseem like you to that person and always remember they have feelings too.

What is a social network, what's a digital footprint, and how does a social network work?
A social network is a network that has many computers all on one server; it allows you to connect with your friends post what you're doing or "What's on your mind?" and you can share photo's with your friends and family. A Digital Footprint is a history of what you've did on that server or on your computer, it's like you "Web History" on your internet explorer. A social netowork works by getting many computers to connect to the same server and then from there allowing you to abide by the rules and regulations of the site.

Copyright...
Copyrighting someone's work is taking it and making illegal copys and giving them to the public no matter if you charge them. You have to keep it to yourself if you buy it, ande if you don't buy it and illeagally download it, you can't reproduce it. P2P is illegal in America unlike it is in Canada because it's leagal up there. So in all conclusion, if you don't buy it, don't sell it. Also, in conclusion don't download unsecure files, they're not good for your computer and may contain viruses.

John Fogerty vs Creedence Clearwater Revival
In order to be able to leave Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Fogerty had to sign away all of his royalties in CCR’s stable of songs. In the end they signed them away to the CCR and John Fogerty left. After this the band had no hard feelings for eachother and ended up being friends again. Then Zaentz filed a Defamation of Character suit and then later filed another suit claiming that the lead track to that same album; The Old Man Down the Road, was a replica of a CCR song; Run Through the Jungle. Essentially, John Fogerty was now being accused of plagiarizing himself. After hearing the song in court the judge decided that they were not the same and the case was dropped. http://rockrelic.blogspot.com/ <-- Picture source.

Technology and Me.
I use all sorts of technology ofr all sorts of things such as my phone to keep in contanct with my friends, my laptop to play games, keep my grades up, and facebook. I love my Droid X it keeps me in touch with everything; it has a facebook app, text messaging and calling! I use it a lot.
China Project
I believe my project went very well, I did my slides with a lot of information. The thing I could've improved on was nunciating my words better. They were Chinese names and very hard to read so I had a difficult time with them.I believe I got a decent grade and can't wait for the next PowerPoint because I very much enjoyed that one. My favorite part of the whole project was being able to look at how other countries operate and view what they do, and boy am I glad I live in the United States, because in China they have a dictatorship and it's harsh. Overall I figured my project went very well.

My year in review.
My last year was very good, the highlight of my 2011 year was baseball. I did very well and had a great season. Our team won about 75% of our games, which means we won more than we lost. The down part of my year was loosing my grandma. I took it very hard. I probably wounldn't have done anything differently, can't live life with regrets. My goal in 2012 is to get good grades and focus on sports, in the long run that is what counts. If I were given $100,000 right now at the start of 2012, I'd put it in a college saving and keep about $15,000 just for spending, I have high hopes for 2012, so let's go!
