I find animoto.com through www.go2web20.net, it’s a directory fill with web applications. I find it extremely useful for this class. Check it out for yourself.

I make this photoslide through animoto.com, which is a company that was founded “to help people better share their stories and express themselves through online media by innovating technologies in the field of video production. Using the latest in entertainment post-production technologies, Animoto is designed to bridge the gap between the high production value of film and television, and the more “amateur” feeling of most user-created videos and photo albums.”

Vietnamese culture may still be mysterious to most people outside the country. The people of Vietnam have a unique and charming culture that has been shaped by thousands of years of history. Their culture has been influenced by many other civilizations. From all these outside influences, and centuries of war, domination, and adversity, they have molded, and maintained their culture. They are well versed in the arts, and have made numerous contributions to the world of literature. This is just a visual representation of the Vietnamese culture in 30 seconds! (since I am not willing to pay for the advance features)

Something Extra Extra…..

“Here is to the soul-expanding power of the simply beautiful mind – YOU.”

Hello World!

My name is My Le Bui.

Sometimes I think. Sometimes I am.

I see myself as

adventurous, friendly, and intelligent person.

I am an optimist who likes to look for the good in people.

A good listener,

I excel at helping others in practical ways.

I tend to express myself,

mainly through writing and art.

I am captivated by photography – my favorite form of art.

I am the keeper of memories.

I help people reminisce

one of the most beautiful moments of their lives.

And sometimes places and objects, too.

Some people call me an amateur photographer.

But I prefer photography enthusiast.

I tell stories with exquisite pictures,

splatter visions with light,

share laughter with friends.

I love to make new friends, but I’m lousy at breaking the ice.

So, I stuck it up and make the effort,

Because that triumph standing around

smiling awkwardly at each other.

SMILE.

Wonder and beauty can be found in the most unlikely places.

Sitting alone on paradise island with a good book,

Empty trains on a lonely rainy day,

Instrumental – sometimes words are unnecessary,

Laughter of children in the playground,

Old couples in their 80’s holding hands,

You will find it by

noticing your surrounding a bit more.

If I could have one superpower, I’d choose to fly.

I want to live an extraordinary life.

I want to transforms the world

through imagination and arts.

But one day, I want to visit Egypt,

to see the camel travel across the desert.

And France, to hear the sound of lovers

float across the coffee shop

as the sun slowly sinks beneath the horizon.

And Thailand, to partake in the colorful floating food market

with a crowd of a thousand.

And then I will come back and share it with all of you!

This is not really a poem.

But I’ve found if you use random line breaks

and make everything center justified,

people will think you are writing poetry.

I think that’s funny.

(You should try it sometime.)

Until next time

Good-bye World!
