I created an audio log with Audacity. I've never really messed with audio editing software so I didn't really know what I was doing. I noticed after I had recorded that there was a lot of static but I have no idea how to get rid of that or if it was simply my mic.

Youtube isn't letting me upload right now but I will try to get it up before class.

Update: Youtube wouldn't process my mp3 file so I went ahead and recorded a vlog here. Here it is.

Week 4

I finally attended class and I had no idea what was going on so I was a little confused at first. We formed into groups to create a rough pitch for FlyRight and also spoke with the owner (I believe) of another client located in San Jose. The class so far seems like it will be fun, it's more hands on than the courses I'm accustomed to taking.

For the San Jose client, I simply asked how exactly vendors come about and if there needs to be more variety in terms of what is sold. The response that I received basically informed me that the vendors are more on a first come first serve basis. Vendors can come for one visit or a few, and from there decide whether or not they want to rent the spot for an extended amount of time. In regards to my second question, the multiple vendors that sell similar items are there to avoid monopolies, this way shoppers can bargain for what they want to buy.

My groups FlyRight pitch was pretty straight forward. We had one male and female on an airplane sitting right next to each other:

Female: Aren't you excited about going to China?
Male: Oh yeah
Female: But aren't you afraid of...jet-lag?
Male: No, I took FlyRight
Female: What's that?
Male: Well, FlyRight it's an all natural drink that you take to prevent jet-lag so that jet-lag is no worries.
Female: Really? Um, can I have some?
Male: Sure, I have some right here. Just take that and you'll be on your way.
Female: *drinks Flyright* I'm on my way, with FlyRight.

Week 3

I added the class to ensure that I satisfied my 40 units of upper division. I didn't attend however because I was still getting signatures for my grad app. I spoke to Dan and got an idea of what the class was about. Seems like it would be a fun and beneficial class to get a taste of an area I've no experience in.

Week 2

2008-09-24T12:14:00.000-07:00

Still not enrolled in the class so I have no idea what is going on, but I was in the process of getting my grad application filled out by my advisers and finalizing all the paperwork.

Week 1

2008-09-24T12:11:00.000-07:00

This week I was not enrolled in the class because I thought I did not need it. Nothing else to write about.
