Copyright

Copyright has been a major issue since the web gained popularity in the 90's. Now there's a new technology to identify copyrighted material on the web. The technology is so advanced it can identify a movie on YouTube with poor picture quality that was filmed illegally via cam-corder in a theatre. Thats pretty intense if you ask me. Good for them, bad for us. Although I don't download alot of illegal documents I'm sure there will be a lot of people upset about this. It was bound to happen eventually. I think myspace is picking up the program, but Google's YouTube is holding back at the moment. The people who made it are going to be rich.

RPG Gaming

I love video games. One of my favorite games of all time is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. It's an RPG where you can choose to be on the light side or the dark side, and ending depends on choices you make during the game. It was developed by Bioware, who has produced many other sweet RPG games ( Buldar's Gate, Jade Empire). Now they have a new game in development for next generation systems called Mass Effect, I'm real excited for this game and if you're familiar with Bioware you know that this one will be a hit. If you haven't played any of the games mentioned I highly recommend you do!

Update

Hey nobody! I don't know who's reading this stuff besides Kroy. I try to read as much as possible but its tough with full time school and part time work. Anyways I've officially begun working on my website. I'm completely working off of self expression and my mood changes a lot so the outcome of this project will be interesting. Most of the work is being done in photoshop, some of you have already seen the title page. I'm planning on making my head at the bottom of the page an animated gif link that will lead you into the "braincast" of my thoughts and ideas. I've just about finished with the first page the user will reach after the braincast is launched... its pretty sick! I can't wait to show you guys... I'll get it uploaded with a link as soon as possible. Peace.

bradbrain.com

Whats up MM350 class. I haven't begun developing my non-linear site yet but I have a basic idea. My domain name is going to be bradbrain.com and each page of my site will have big pics of my head in different poses, color schemes and photoshop filters to reflect the mood of the content. The content will be displayed in a designated space approximately where my "brain" should be. I need YOU to help me with ideas of what is gonna go on inside my head! (and usually only I know that) I was thinking I could write some kind of creative narrative like grammatron, but 20 pages and 2 weeks isn't enough for that. Im open to ideas and constructive critism. Let me know what you think! Thanks!
