Week 1 and 2 Progress Report

I spent my ten hours these last couple weeks designing my blog page, doing preliminary research for my project, and reading the Critical Thinking and Semiotics texts.

I spent about an hour designing my blog. I tried to make it easy to read and understand, and chose light green to make it easy on the eyes and inviting.

I spent three hours doing preliminary research for my project. I chose to do a documentary on the Animas-LaPlata project and spent time at http://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/animas/ reading about the project. I also spent time on the Durango Herald's site (http://www.durangoherald.com/sections/News/2008/10/17/ALP_project_97_complete/) researching.

I spent 96 minutes watching D.A. Pennebaker's documentary on Bob Dylan entitled "Don't Look Back" and taking notes on the style of documentation. I also spent about an hour on YouTube watching as much stuff on water as possible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgKsZr6-YC0.

I spent my remaining four hours reading and trying to digest the Critical Thinking and Semiotics texts.
