Today's Photos
To whom it may concern,
The photos I took today have been edited and converted into jpegs. They are all ready to go. Unfortunately the Intermedia server won't let me drop them in Katie's public folder. If it can't be resolved within a day or so, I'll just post them to facebook for everybody (unless anyone has any objections). If all else fails, I'll bring them on a jumpdrive to class on tuesday.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Seven Days of Silence
The objective: Maintain a vow of silence; spend an entire week (Wednesday April 28, 2010 to Wednesday May 5, 2010) without speaking.
So I will be spending a full seven days without speaking while trying to live my life as normally as possible. I will still go to class, grocery shop, eat pizza and hang out with friends (and everything else I do normally), only without speaking. I will carry a small dry-erase board with me for written communication but I will attempt to refrain from using it too much.
Exceptions:
(and yes, these are the ONLY exceptions)
1. Any emergency situation - I don’t think I really need to explain this one but I will speak during an emergency. Fire, car crash, zombie attack and alien invasions are examples of emergencies.
2. Martial Arts - I practice Taekwon Do and Hapkido twice a week. In this setting it would be both extremely disrespectful and irresponsible to completely refrain from speaking. I will however limit my speech to only what is necessary.
3. The Department of Education - I’ve been told by the kind people who processed my FAFSA for next year that there is some sort of an issue with my financial aid application and that I should be expecting a call from the Department of Education. This is no laughing matter, I need financial aid to continue at the university next year. If they call, I will speak on the phone.
4. Extreme Family Business: My family has been informed and has promised not to call my cell phone unless something of real importance comes up. If they do call (and it actually is something serious), I will allow myself to speak.
Record:
I will be keeping record of this project mostly via online blog. I will post at least once a day (probably at night) to recount the general experience of the day, any difficulties I had or any times I had a slip up and accidentally spoke.
The blog can be found here: http://www.neilsbigolvowofsilence.blogspot.com
I will also keep a camcorder with me Thursday and Tuesday (the days I have class) to attempt to tape some interaction with people.

Project?
EVERYONE/ANYONE
I talked to a few people outside of class about this project that's due next week...and it didn't seem like anyone knew what it was about. Is it completely open ended? I was under the impression that we just needed to push ourselves in a way that we haven't pushed ourselves before. Could someone clear this up for me? Anyone?
I just want sure I am not completely missing something I should touch on. I looked through the blog completely and I still don't know...thanks guys.
