Cyber Safety

We had a discussion about cyber safety in class today. There were a lot of interesting stories about real people who were sharing their actual experiences in order to teach people about the dangers of using the internet. I have always tried to be extremely careful about everything I say or post on the internet, but thinking about these stories I heard today will make me think even more about whatever it is I am doing on the internet. Even if you are careful there will always be people out there who will find ways to exploit you in ways that you would never think were possible.

Following Blogs

I am now following three new blogs about poverty which are Escape Poverty, Poverty Blog, and Social Solutions to Poverty Weekly. They are all great sources of news and information concerning poverty in the world today. I suggest that you take the time to check them out if at all posssible.

Jimmy vs. the Splurge is a game where you pilot a ship in order to save Celeran and destroy unhealthy foods. It is the best of all the student games that I played, but it is very short and only has one level. The final boss is pretty cool though.

Stop disasters is a professionally created game that lets you choose form several different scenarios in which you must protect a town from an impending natural disaster. The game is made extremely well and I didn't run into any problems playing it. I thought the visuals were very bland, but other than that it is a very good game.
