It was like going into the garage and pulling the bike down from it's dusty hideout up on the hanging hook. I wiped off the cobwebs on hopped on. At first, I was a bit unsteady. I wobbled a bit with anxious pedals, but before long I was cruising along like I never left the bike behind.
This is exactly how I felt when I started using the HTML codes this week. The last time I used them was in high school. Since then, internet tools and webpage making programs have made it so easy to create pages that my 90 year old grandma, Viola, can make one (actually I think she does have one).
I don't want to sound crazy, but in a way using the HTML code is kind of fun. You put all of this screwy computer type onto a page and BAM! You get a cool outcome with text, images and interesting style. Would I choose to do all of my web related stuff this way--no. But it is nice to go back to the basics sometimes.

Creative Commons
So, in honor of the Creative Commons/Copyright assignment I thought I would share a picture I found on Flickr.

That is a massive Peep! I would be sick for days because I know I would try to eat the whole thing in one sitting.
But seriously, copyright is an interesting and sometimes tricky thing. Really after this week's information on Creative Commons I have found myself a little more comfortable.
The ideas mentioned in the section about "Copyright in NC Schools" have eased my worried thoughts of the Copyright Police knocking down my door every time I use a picture of Sponge Bob or Hannah Montana on the Smart Board.
Stay golden.

Did you know...
In 1953, it took 27 hours to create one Marshmallow Peep. Today, it takes six minutes.
Hey Folks! True to my oddball form I decided to open my blog with a random fact. I love me some Peeps. Get a pack and open them, let them go stale, then enjoy.
Okay, so I promise that some of my next posts will have to do with technology and ECI719, but since this is a tester post I thought I'd keep it lighthearted. Until I see you next time, stay golden.

PS Do you like Peeps?
