Date: March 26, 2014
Platform: Storify
Post Location: RunDiStyle
Summary: As part of an on-going blog assignment, I was required to create a Storify post concluding the overarching theme of my previous blog posts. The idea I wanted to create with this compilation was one of inspiration and to encourage readers of the blog to be confident in their preparation for a runDisney race event.

Date: March 12, 2014
Platform: YouTube
Post Location: RunDiStyle
Summary: Prior to the Storify post but as part of the same on-going blog assignment, we were asked to make a video that ran between 90 - 120 seconds long. It had to have a minimum 3 edits as well as demonstrate cohesion with the blog's theme. I chose to demonstrate how to make a costume-oriented sweatband for the purpose of running since my blog's theme covered the process of making your own running costumes.

Date: December 2, 2012
Platform: YouTube
Post Location: Social Media Succinctly
Summary: For my 3000-level social media course, we posted blog responses to the topics discussed in class. To finish off the blog, I opted to do an in-world interview with a person I had met in the virtual space World of Warcraft. I wanted to explore what his impressions were when it came to the co-mingling of financial commitments and virtual goods such as access and in-world items.
The Bay and Shazam: Radio Web Shopping
Date: November 16, 2012
Platform: PodBean
Post Location: Social Media Succinctly
Summary: My 3000-level social media blog was to include a podcast attempt discussing anything social media related. I chose to analyze the relatively new cross-platform app Shazam which was in-use at the time by The Bay. Shazam allowed mobile users of the app to pull up product listings on their phone after hearing a radio broadcast. It works like a QR code but from an audio source.
