Just a thought

As I find interesting tutorials I want to try as I look around the internet, I'm finding that it would be easier to have a larger screen.  You live and you learn.   It's easier for me to work on tutorials if I can read them as I work on through them.  While I have been working on the Flash timer, I have been paying careful attention to the particular tutorial I have found so I don't make any mistakes and give someone the wrong information.

In-Depth Game Purpose

For the voting game I have in mind, the purpose of the game will be to inspire (let's hope) people to register and go vote.  It will be a narrative game.  Some of the options will be to listen to the candidates state their platform and what they hope to accomplish once in office, skip opportunities to learn what the issues are in the election, register to vote, and to actually vote.  I hope the game will be geared towards people in the 18 - 25 age group.  That group has the lowest number of voters.  There are many organizations trying to help this group get inspired to stand for something and vote for the candidates they feel represent them best.  I feel that a game like this would accomplish that as well.  Many people in this age group spend a great deal of their time on the internet, and this would be an excellent way for them to realize how important voting is.  I think this is one of the best ways to reach this group.

My First WebEx Experience

My first WebEx experience was interesting.  I enjoyed being to see the RTC group's screen.  It was good way to learn where everybody stands on their progress.  Being able to hear everybody's input was a positive.  The only thing I didn't like about it was sometimes it was hard to hear what people were saying.  I don't know if it was just my screen or not but some of the graphics were hard to see as well.  As I said, that could be on my end though.
