You may use up to 10%, but no more than 30 seconds of music and lyrics from a single musical work. You must purchase performance rights to hold a live performance of copyrighted work.

Flickr

I have recently been added to Flickr. I have learned how to upload photo's to a photo gallery and how to "re blog" other peoples photos in a photo gallery. Advantages of using Flickr is you don't have to worry about copyright. Tumblr is in the same way, but you can upload more than 18 photos and you don't have photo galleries. I like being able to re post photos that i like on my profile without having to worry about copyright and such. Its also a good way for your friends to get to know you better.You upload or re post the photos that you like and mean something to you. When friends look at you galleries and see what you have re posted, they can see some of the things you are interested in. Flickr is a cool and fun way to share photos for others to see.

Thoughts on ID Theft and Internet Saftey

My thoughts on ID Theft and Internet Safety are simple; be careful. Deputy Krupp gave us a very good and explanatory presentation about Internet safety. He had good facts and recommendations that i wouldn't have thought of. His presentation really opened my eyes and made me think more about what i was doing on the Internet and my phone. It made me think twice about every message i sent and every status i posted.

ID Theft is not okay, but stuff like that happens everyday and you need to know how to deal with it. From these past couple weeks, i have learned a lot about ID Theft. If it were ever happen to me, i would know what to do and how to deal with it. I also know how to avoid it as much as possible.

You just have to know what your doing on and off the internet and be careful, smart, and have common sense!

New Technology of 2012

The new technology I found was a portable charger called PowerTrekk. Its used for when your some place that doesn't have a outlet. All you have to do is put a teaspoon of water in it and it will generate enought power to power a phone, camera, or a GPS device.

Christmas Break

Over Christmas break my Uncle Ryan came home from Alabama. It was the first time I have seen him in 2 years and it was really cool to see him. I got to hang out with my friends and the people I love. When it snowed my brothers and I got out our 4 wheelers and pulled a sled around behind them all day. I spent a lot of time with my family, my basketball teammates, and my good friends. I had a great Christmas break.
