I wish I had digital cable. I don't, but Nick does, and he drew my attention to Current, a cable television station dedicated to high-quality viewer-created journalism stories. The station has a Web site that offers all the content aired on TV to their online viewers. Current strongly encourages high ethical standards in the creation of their content, but acknowledge that citizen journalism is the direction the media is heading, if it hasn't already taken that turn. The stories are thought-provoking and entertaining. It's my new favorite Web site, and definitely worth a look.

Online Journalism Ethics
Although its a few months old, this article from the Poynter Institute came from my Problems and Ethics in Journalism professor. It's 100 percent relevant to me and my classmates, and to any "citizen journalists" who contribute via blogs and online content. Enjoy!
Three-button Animation
Just finished my second flash exercise. I'm pretty proud of it, especially that none of the images were imported. All were drawn by hand in the Flash program. I was having a little trouble with the LSU button. It seemed I could stop and start the tiger flash portion with the button, but I only want to be able to start it. I checked my Action Script and everything seems fine. It's driving me a little CRAZY! Any suggestions?? Thanks and enjoy!

Fun Tech Photos
Engadget recently hosted a photo contest for its readers, inviting them to submit any creative photos related to technology in some way or another. They've compiled their top 150 choices into a photo gallery that's really fun to flip through.
