This was a great slide show i really liked the pics that were sequences of a single wave. The written captions were priceless in my opinion

from moving water to frozen water

This was a cool slide show because it was from killington VT awesome snowboarders! but....the photos lacked varaibility, most were taken from same standpoint. I would have liked to see more pictures of some of the other features that the competeitors had to hit not just the big booter jumps(which were sick)

Podcast critique

I have been aware of the existence of podcasts for quite some time, but only recently have I actually listened to one of them, and now actually on a regular basis. This being Joshua B's Reggae Rhythm Update, i stumbled upon this podcast while searching for new reggae music now with over 2 years of archived shows that tops 60 shows.(I'm so happy abut this podcast I already have it on my blog under *reggae beats!*) The producer/DJ puts out his podcast from his "golden touch studio" which is a spare bedroom in his apartment. I've listened to many of his archived shows and with my newfound interest in his podcast i decided that some day i should create a podcast of my own. With assignment being to find and critique 3 podcasts over break, i was lucky that i had already followed one, but needed to find others. So i googled popular podcasts which i felt would direct me to some credible podcasts. I found the ESPN radio most imformative, and very helpful for keeping up to-date on sports, if only I truly cared about being up-date on sports. I continued my search and found more reggae! a podcast called Reggae Flow which was very cool because it's origin is in Brazil, so it was cool to hear what reggae they listen to/ don't listen to. I will surely make it a point to listen to Reggae Flow regularly and maybe find some more reggae podcasts.
