Journal - Who is the oldest family member of your family you have ever met? What do you know about your family history? Have your parents ever told you anything thing about your family history?  Do you know what kind of heritage you have? Explain as much as you can about your family and any history you have knowledge of.

The oldest family member I have ever met is most definitely my grandmother, Virginia Paulsen. Before her death, she was at least 98 years old, but suffered from dementia in the last ten years of her life. Her mentality slowly withered away until she couldn't even remember how to eat. The majority of my family hails from Mennonites. My grandfather, Delbert Fast, migrated to the city life because he didn't find the regular Mennonite lifestyle (which didn't consist of any recreational technologies, such as television or radio). He moved to Kansas, where he got a job as a busboy in a diner and started dating the proprietor's daughter, Mary Jane Koehn, who eventually became his wife. The Koehns also heiled from Mennonite heritage, but were not as devout as the Fasts. Delbert and Jane had two sons, Scott and Jason, the former which is my father. Scott married Lori Paulsen in 1991, and they had me in 1995. My sister, Madysen, was born in 1998. Lori was the youngest daughter of Wayne and Julie Paulsen, who in contrast to my other grandparents were natural born city folk. Aside from my mom, they had another daughter named Lisa. It's safe to say she and my mom don't get along. At all.

Journal - Which web design platform did you choose - Wix or Weebly? What are three things you've learned about Web Design so far?

I picked Wix for by web design platform. There is very little I've learned that I didn't already know, but a few things I didn't know are as followed. I learned how to change the opacity and reception of some pictures or texts that don't always come out so perfectly. I learned how to actually integrate the page onto other websites, such as links. I also learned how to make a website. Oh, really? Isn't that what this whole thing was about. Ha, kidding. So that's it I guess.

Journal - What have you learned about making a website? Explain.

I've learned only a few things I didn't realize before. One of them is that people can be really judgmental towards some websites (ex. Justine). Also, it takes a lot of work and planning to actually figure out what to actually put on the website, such as background information, data, and anything that would actually be able to warrant someone's attention towards the site.

Journal - What do you know about building and creating a website? Have you ever done it before?  List qualities of a well designed and well functioning website.
I've never created a website, in all the time I've used the internet. But, I'm guessing it is probably time consuming, and a slow process with all of the updating and new features that are added over time. I'm not to sure on good qualities of a website, but a few I can guess at would be viable sources, materials, and bandwagon appeal.

Top 3 Stop-motion shorts

Top 3 Stop-motion videos

1. How to Draw Black by Jared Demmel - This video definetely must have taken a lot of effort and time to finish. The photos taken were always focused on the exact spot, so it did not look as though the camera was being wobbled around like in most videos.
2. Rubix Cube by Maggie Connors - This video was simple and didn't require any real effort. Which is commendable, so I can't help but like it a lot more than most.
3. Driving by Will Munholland - This video was by far the longest. I can't imagine how long it must have taken to drive and park the car so many times. Again, the effort and time taken is what makes it good.
