Social Networking has become very important in today’s world. I went to this seminar in where they were showing people how to use face book, twitter and myspace. It was so funny to see how older people are getting into it. It’s a great way to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. This social media phenomenon is fun and I personally started when I was a junior in high school. Today I went online and did my research on the TOP 10 Social Networks for 2009 and 2010 and this years ranking l… Continue

Yesterday we were so lucky to have Maneja Beto to join us for 'Camp Chat.' Unfortunately not all of their band members could make it, but who did come were Nelson Valente who plays the guitar, and Bobby Garza who sings, and who is a keyboard player. They sang for us which was really good and had a good beat to it. Besides working just as a musician, Nelson also works as school teacher. They were very entertaining and funny. Also a good job to my friends who worked hard on settin… Continue

We got to have an amazing experience with meeting a band called Maneja Beto. They were really cool and they sang really well for being live. It is interesting that one is a school teacher. I would have never guessed that someone in a band would be a school school teacher! Anyways they were a really cool band to interview and we wish them luck along the road. By the way..... Happy St. Patricks day!

Today was so cool! We went to SXSW! We got to see Polly Mackey and The Pleasure Principle! Their band is so cool! They played really well and the people in the band were so nice. They all had a really nice sound when they played their instruments. When we interviewed them, Polly was really sweet to us and when she sings she has true meaning behind them. We had lots of loaded fun! When we left and driving in the car we saw Leslie! He was wearing a purple wig and a weird red dress type thing and h… Continue

How much time do you spend in front of your computer screen? About how many times do you check your cell phone? I have a theory that I am hypnotized by my phone and computer. I mean sometimes I am sleeping and I guess I feel my phone vibrating and I open the texts. I guess auto mode texts back because I don't remember texting. When I wake up I see that I've been having conversations while I sleep! Also at work today I was telling Veronica and Gloria how I get lost in the computer while I am work… Continue
