The Blog Rewoven
Typing the address http://www.pepysdiary.com into the address bar of a browser brings an oddly appropriate juxtaposition of a 17th century diary and a modern day blog to the screen. A person can log on each day and find out what Samuel Pepy was doing on this particular day in 1661. Yet to the side, there is a list of links that can take the reader to background information on Pepy’s time period; along the top are links to information about Samuel Pepy, and underneath each entry are annotations made by the various readers of the blog. Still more links are found throughout the text of the entry taking the reader to information on the names and places mentioned within the writing itself. While the analogy between a diary and a blog is not exact, in Pepy’s diary one can see the forerunner of the blog and get a sense of how it came to be. Samuel Pepy wrote in order to keep track of his daily doings and make sense of his world. For the blog, what began as a small community trying to make sense of the growing web of information has grown into a huge social phenomenon that has moved beyond just programmers to the average person on the web.
When asked exactly what a blog is, people will give out a variety of answers but “an online journal” is the most common response. Dave Winer started one of the earliest weblogs, which is currently the longest running blog on the net. He started Scripting News in April of 1996 and it still functions in the same capacity today as it did then. He wrote an article entitled “What are weblogs?” and in this article he gives four key points that define what a blog is: personal, on the web, published, and a community. He feels these are defining in the context of what a blog is. It is im...

From my perspective, a wise thing to do would be to first do a thorough analysis of the website. Go through and see what the weak points are and try to analyze a solution. Aim Higher College has deployed an open source blog package. This package uses a database backend and allows users to create user IDs, sites, and their own content to post it. Recently, the service has had off-campus users who have posted links that appear to be directed towards university resources, but they are getting redirected toward off-campus malware sites. It seems that the website the college has deployed has become target of a DoS attack or other malware attacks.

Sleep is one of our basic needs to survive and to function in day to day operations, but not everyone needs the same amount of sleep. Some people can survive on very little sleep, i.e. five hours a night, and some people need a lot of sleep, to the extend that they are sleeping up to 10 to sometimes 15 hours a night (Nature, 2005). According to Wilson (2005) the general rule states that most people need from seven to eight hours of sleep. The deprivation of sleep in our society in continually increasing with the demands in society increasing work loads, the myth that a few hours of sleep is only necessary to function properly and that sleep is sometimes considered as killing time (Nature, 2005). Sometimes sleep deprivation is also caused by other situations like sleep disorders, i.e. sleep apnea, chronic insomnia or medical conditions such as stress (Wilson, 2005).

In criminology, examining why people commit crime is very important in the ongoing debate of how crime should be handled and prevented. Many theories have emerged over the years, and they continue to be explored, individually and in combination, as criminologists seek the best solutions in ultimately explaining what makes a person act the way they do and the causes for these actions. In addressing the social learning theory and the trait theory, we explore the similarities and the differences and where to look for on improvement.
