Web/Real Life Component

Now I would rather do something with a blog I made for a presentation. It's my capstone class presentation, and it contains information on and links to my classes and internship and the contents of my wriiting portfolio. I'm still working on that and trying to figure out how I can make it mixed reality to meet the requirements for project 5. What all constitutes mixed reality?

This is the presentation blog.


I really like the hook pictures and information up to spots on a map. When I saw that I though of getting a google map and linking pictures from different places. I've been to Geneva Switzerland, Grand Rappids, MI, Miami, FL, ect. and have pictures from all of them. I don't know how close in I'd go on the map; just city or right down to street or lake. You can't get as close everywhere as some places on google maps. Is it possible to link more than one picture to one pointer on the map? Also, since we learned how, I haven't been able to put a pointer on a google map. How is that done again?

I think blogs are exciting because it gives people an opportunity to share with others written or other media work and get responses on them. To be a part of the blogosphere could make people feel like they are connected to something bigger than themselvs. Blogs are really open and participatory. You can go on and on about one subject or issue and people can read it like a newspaper article, and then they can respond right there where you can read it. Probabley the most exciting part about blogs is just that your work is out there where people can be reading it.
