I always read as a kid. I was the small boy who plowed through books day and night, my mom scrambling to and from the library just to keep up with me. The only thing fixated on my mind was reading a new book and being totally captivated by the plot. Since then, I read less and less, sometimes going months without finishing a book. I feel sad that I spend less and less days staying up to midnight just to read one ... more … page. At this point in my busy life, the only reading I can complete is…

influx of Japanese design and ukiyo-e prints. Considering this phenomenon, an artwork I chose to write about that you can see this in is Vincent van Gogh’s canvas painting Bridge in the Rain. In 1886 Van Gogh moved to Paris and was introduced to Japonism and ukiyo-e because his brother ran an art gallery and he lived next to one. He was fascinated with the designs, colors, and compositions of the artwork he had seen in Japonisme work and started collecting ukiyo-e prints. In 1887, he was…

If you do create an elite list, make sure you have other channels for your subscribers to leave feedback -- member-only channels are better, like a secret Facebook group or protected Twitter accounts, or even private forums like I did with my elite Robocity World fans. Why Running A Special Newsletter Is NOT Elitist If you scour forums and blogs…

Always” was written by Andrew Leonard. He explains to the Internet users “the positive and negative effects of e-mail and other relatively new forms of online communication, especially the ways in which people interact with each other” (149). He provides the reader some statistics and several personal examples in order to emphasize his points. An example that was impressed me is that the e-mail is a powerful network that people can use in many ways. The email is a human collaboration tool for…

He was one of the most famous artists of the “Shin Hanga” movement during early 20th century Japan.

Dear, Art Spiegelman I was at my school in my language arts class wondering what book I should read next. I asked my teacher and she said there is a great book on my bookshelf. It is a graphic novel and it’s about WWII. At the time, I had no idea what a graphic novel was and why was she recommending a picture book to me when I’m in eighth grade. The book is called Maus. I found it and started to read it. When I got into it I realized it wasn’t a picture book that I was thinking about in my…

I don’t like to read, I only like to read books that I have to read if its work related, or for school. Growing up as a child my family did not read to. When I become older I had to do a lot of reading on my own. Like reading magazines, books, and the newspaper to be informative about things that I needed to know to be educated about in life. I don’t have any children at this moment but I hope to have children one day. And to be able to read books to them from a very early age in their lives. In…
