Michael’s entire blog is dripping with his insightful and quirky personality. It’s clear from his posting style he is a knowledgable internet person using blogs and other platforms. Working with Michael on a variety of projects I find his creativity infectious and often find myself producing some of my best ideas. Michael’s ability as an editor and producer of content is on display in the first episode of our webseries Get Fucked-tional. He managed to cut together my stuttering and pathetic attempt at humour into someone thing that I think comes close to comedy. If it hadn’t have been for Michael I would have just given up on the project but he pushed me to finish the video. I feel that he also deserves a round of applause for the amount of bucket hats he photoshopped onto random people.
In this post I also wanted to briefly mention Michael’s ability to summarise course related work whilst also relating it to his own experiences. Like Michael I feel that knowledge of coding is paramount and being someone who doesn’t know much about the net I’m taking it all in with utter fascination.

Living in the outer suburbs I suffer the daily public transport commute. I find the train to be monotonous and on a bad day soul destroying. Reading Callum’s own reflection on his commute, I opened or at least tried to open my mind.  I guess it is great that so many people choose to catch the train helping the environment and also reduce congestion in the city. To be honest I would rather catch the train everyday than have to navigate the city streets with my pathetic driving abilities. On the train I can sit (usually stand) listen to some music and lose myself in a good book. After writing this post, I’ve come to the conclusion that my disdain is unwarranted and I probably should start appreciating the leisure time I get to share with hundreds of complete strangers.

Rebecca Bozin or Beezy as she is typically referred to as, is a powerhouse of wit and ‘fangirling’. I’m jealous of her wit and I’m not suggesting there is anything wrong with being a fangirl. I myself am a passionate fangirl of bands such as Baroness and Mastodon. I almost faint with excitement when they release a new song let alone a new album. Anyway back to Beezy’s post omg html! which is equal parts a nostalgic discussion of her myspace days and discussion of HTML coding. Unlike most other people my age I stayed clear of the internet for a while and missed the craze of myspace and msn, so I had no idea that coding could play such a role in myspace. Like Beezy I do share an appreciation of HTML and how it remains a world of expansion and change.
