Animation

I made this animation with a few other people. It was made on my Mac. I improvised my main role during the animation making; observing my teammates and checking if everyone got something to do. The main thing my teammates did was discussing the camera point of view and who should move what. After a while of participating in this chaos, I decided to step back, make mental notes and make a strong argument later on. I didn't get into view at all, except for my hand when someone turned the camera while i was moving a chair. My role after the animating was to distribute this thing to everyone in the group, which was difficult due to oversized files. At the end one of my group members gave me an USB.
My group could have improved a lot by not trying to convince each other of their own individual ideas at the same time and even though I'm not a fan of this technique, have one leader with a final word and if necessary the authority to temporarily exclude misbehaving or distracting members and to make comments on individuals.

Bad Blogs

Blogging is a good way of sharing your knowledge with the world. But it can also go wrong. Lots of people got fired from their job because of their blogs. Which is why I want to share my knowledge about those blogs.

Most of those people blogged about their job or their social life. The mistakes you can get fired for are the mistakes most easily made. Calling people you like or really dislike certain names for example. Or blogging about your company's policies or products. Anything that can make the company look bad, even if not intended to be seen in that way, can get you and/or other persons fired. Posting pictures of yourself in uniform or people at work can also get you fired. People may put these pictures or posts on their blogs without thinking about the different perspectives of people. A picture or word can easily be misunderstood by blog readers. There are also a lot of mean people on the net, looking to hurt you just because they do not like the design of your blog.

Even though there are certain dangers in blogging, it is also a good way of sharing your personal view with the world. Good bloggers can change the way people think and help them solve problems they couldn't have solved on their own. Blogging is fun, but be cautious and careful with what you type and post!

5 search tips

Google is a very powerful tool that almost everybody knows of and uses. However, it also a very difficult to use efficiently, which is a continual pain for people all over the world when they search for something and get dozens of results linking to sites completely different. Because of this, I put the 5 best search tips for using Google more efficient. For more tips, type Search Help in Google Search.

Tip 1: Use a - sign to alert Google NOT to include the word(s) with the - in front of it. The same can be done with a + sign (Google will then include the words or synonyms of the words that have a + in front of them)

Tip 2: Google is always case insensitive. Writing 'Eragon by Christopher Paolini' would give the same results as 'eragon by christopher paolini'.

Tip 3: Search for words that are likely to be on the website you are looking for. This cuts out unwanted results and shows websites with the phrases.

Tip 4: Keep the search simple. The fewer words, the easier to find the result you are looking for. With each word the search becomes more unreliable, but if you cut your search too much, you will miss results. Keep adding and taking words may give you the perfect result you want, but may also take a lot of time.

Tip 5: A more advanced method: Put double quotes ("") around a set words make Google search for sites with exactly the same phrase on them as you put in double quotes. Google already uses the order of words to get better results, and if you use the double quotes, Google will not use this feature.
