Adobe Scene7 seems like a great tool for turning PDF into an interactive format. I tried it out with the GW Business Magazine. Although it takes a bit of time, the process is very easy. The result looks nice, but I don’t like the interface at all. Adobe should allow us to scale the size of the magazine so we can display it at the size that is readable. Right now users can zoom in to read but it’s not intuitive at all.

I was quoted in The GW Hatchet‘s “Schools Embrace Social Media.” Well, sort of. I don’t recall saying, “I looked at the other schools on Facebook and these sites and I was like, ‘Wow, we’ve got to be on there,'” at all. The writer has done a great job of making me sound like a foreigner. I don’t remember saying this either: “Most of us are already on these sites, so now all we have to do is spread the word. It’s efficient and probably one of the best ways to get in touch with people nowadays.”

The members of the Korean Students Association who were practicing their cultural dance were racially insulted by a drunk white freshman:
“This is the gayest shit I’ve ever done… Fuck you. Fuck you, I could take all of you. I’ll kill you all… Fuck you all, you fucking chinks, go back to China! Go back to your fucking country, you don’t belong in this country.”
This is saddening. We still have a long way to go.

Our friends’ daughter who was expected to come out a day before our boy had made her way out yesterday. She is healthy and very cute. Now I am getting quite anxious about our boy. He could pop out any minute. We think we’re prepared.
