Something I liked about the article is that it included a video. Another thing i like about the article is that it was sorta cute. A question I have about the article is why would someone say something so stupid like that girl did at the end of the video.

This week

This week was disappointing. Something that made me happy was getting to the Skills USA competition. Something that upset me was that I didn't even place. I learned that Cheetah 3D is one of the most unreliable programs that I've ever used. Something that Id like to learn in the future is how to use a different 3D animating program. Here's a cool link http://youtu.be/-ZJDNSp1QJA. Its a short that i thought was very well done and very emotional.

Disneys stealing

Something I learned from this article is that disney stole a persons artwork. Another Thing i learned is that the picture was apparently really popular on the internet. I also learned that the didn't inform the artist or pay her in any way. They just straight up stole this poor person's artwork and threw it on merchandise like it was their own. A thing I like about this article is that it can show even large scale companies infringe on copyright. Another thing i liked about the article was that it showed the pictures.

Code monkey.

One thing that I learned from this article is that they are making a "Code Monkey" comic. Another thing  I learned is that the comics will contain characters and story lines based off of his other songs as well. I also learned that the main character of the song "Code Monkey" is literally portrayed by A monkey. Something that I like about this article is that its an interview. Another thing I like about this article is that its relevant to us because we have to use a Jonathan coulton song  for our final. A question I have about the article is why a comic book?
