I believe that Mark Zuckerberg is a very intereting character. He is the worlds youngest billionaire, created a website used by almost everyone, and is still practically fresh out of college. Even though this makes him sound very intelligent, I cant help but feel that facebook's popularity was just luck for him. His website is very slow, and ive seen people get angry with changes made to it very often. He just seems very interesting to me.
Mark seems to have alot of controversy surrounding him. Right off the bat, he has a lawsuit with 3 other people from his college against him over facebook. It seems strange that he would so quickly have a lawsuit over facebook. Also, he even has a movie about these lawsuits already out about him, which has many elements that are obviously added just for a better story. The most shocking thing about him to me is his comment about not believing in privacy, in response to people's anger about him giving less control to people over their own information. The reason why this comment shocks me so much is because when facebook was first being heard of, the only description ive ever heard about it was taht it was "like myspace, but with more privacy", which clearly shows that he doesnt even understand why his website became popular in the first place. I find Mark an interesting character, and im weary about thinking of him too highly.

Favorite and worst logos
Worst: 
Favorite:
These are my favorite and least favorite logos. My favorite logo has a clear picture of an iceberg and what its underwater half, were the other logo doesnt have any clear image or representation of any kind. My favorite logo uses only 4 different, very similar colors, were the other logo uses 4 very different, contrasting colors, making it ugly to the eye. My favorite logo has a clean, circular shape, which is only broken neatly in one spot, were the other logo has a distorted square shape-feel, making it not as comfortable of an image. My favorite logo also uses every color within the circle with the image, were the other logo has alot of white areas, making it look very broken apart and messy. My favorite logo has an overall more put together structure then my least favorite logo.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer
Im syked that assassins creed brotherhood is out. I already pre ordered it, and im going to pick it up sometime soon. I cannot wait to see what the game is like to be able to play with other people, instead of just always solo player. When first play online, though, i will have to be careful, becase every single kid i have asked about it said that they were going to assassinate everyone else, so first few days will be fun and crazy to play with other people. I have been waiting for this too come out for months now, and I cant wait to start playing.
Multiplayer is a big step in a game, but it always depends on how it is implemented into the game. I hope that they dont screw up like many other game's first times with multiplayer, like making the game dependent on the person playing with others, robing the player of the true freedom that is prominant in a game like assassin's creed. Playing with others is always fun, and if they make it fully optional to play with others to complete the game, and give the players the ability to use their companions to their advantage, then the game will be awsome. If they make the game so that some missions are required or necessary to have other's help, or if it sets up the environment so that many people would be required to do little stupid simple things, then the game will turn out bad. The best way that i can imagine them using the multiplayer to make the game better is to add abilities to do things like, say, one assassin being able to lift another one in the air after a runing start, using teamwork to get one person to a higher area they would not have been able to get to easily. The game will be awsome if they give the player's abilities to help and interact with one another, but it will be bad if they underuse or overpush the use of multiple players.
The game should still be awsome forgetting about multiplayer. Assassin's creed has always been an awsome game, so it will be exciting to see new features and things to do, upgrading it from its two past games. I also cant wait to see the continuation of the story from the previous game, hopefully being able to play a little more as desmond, the character who is seeing the assassins in the past.

Red Ribon
Red Robin has a very good website. It uses the color red for everything because red makes people hungry. Everything someone would be looking for is at the very top and in the perfect text size so that people would see it emidietly if they were looking. The images re the perfect size, taking up enough space to be noticed, but not enough to crowd the site, and multiple ones cycle in the same spot. the site is also decorated with boxes with uneven lines, giving it a funer feeling, while not making the attempt obvious. the site uses many smart decorative techniques that make the site inviting and fun.
Red Robin has alot of good features, but a few bad. It's smaller, but vital, site links at the bottom are cut off by part of the site. Linking to Red Robin through other mediums like twitter is at the very top, making people more aware of these things. The site's links are conveniently placed, but there are not many, making the site feel a little small. Red Robin is a very innovative website, but it is plagued by a few mistakes.

Beutiful Photograph
one of my fav photographs is this: http://nocturnalmoth.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1a3x0h
I really like it because the expressions on the egg's faces match perfectly their situation. You can feel exactly what they are being depicted as feeling. I also like how the eggs have different faces, giving each one its own personality, like one that would be in shock and another that would be terrified. I also love the use of humor in the photo, making as funny as it is appealing to the eye. The expressions also give the picture a realistic feel, because one egg is staring in terror at the fork while another is screaming and looking at the broken egg next to it, which shows interaction between the environment and the eggs. I love this picture because the egg's expressions are extremely realistic.
I also love this picture because of the detail put into it. The knife with some egg wiped on the tip on the side is a very nice touch to the photo. The blurriness of the fork at the very top shows the impending danger of it. The splash of egg on one of the eggs makes the photo very realistic. The detail gives this photograph so much more life then the picture itself.
