Campus MovieFest and Other Little Things
Mar 6th
February was a wild month. I would describe it as the perfect blend of excitement and exhaustion. Aside from an onslaught of tests and quizzes, the first major event was my 4 year anniversary with Kristen. We spent the weekend at Disney, strolled in the cold weather, and had a generally unbelievable time.The Disney trip was actually a last minute thing, but it seems like it was both more relaxing and more enjoyable than the original plan we had made six months prior.
The week after that was Campus MovieFest. More than 120 teams were given a handheld camcorder, a Mac Book, and an AT&T phone to make a 5 minute film in a week. Despite impending midterms and other minor inconveniences, me, Roland, and Kristen signed up and took on the task of film making. To be honest, that week was more fun than stressful. Even though we were first time film makers and inexperienced Mac users, we made a film. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Last week was the showing of the top 16 movies. We didn’t make the cut, but I wasn’t expecting to anyway. It was a great experience nonetheless. Also, our friends at Juice Box Boy Productions did win best drama! It was really well done and creativity like that always inspires me.
And with that, check out our film, “Doing Happy”
Free Google Adsense Stickers!
Dec 15th
Google AdSense is a great way to monetize your website. According to John Chow, some sites earn up to six figures monthly from publishing Google ads.
While we can’t all make that kind of cash, the people over at the AdSense blog have given us common folk a chance to get a hand in the Google jar. That’s right – free Google AdSense stickers! Last year, the team printed out a large batch of stickers and apparently, they’ve still got a bunch to give out.
All you need to do is send a self-addressed envelope and the correct postage, and they’ll send a couple of stickers right back. You can find the rest of the details at the Google AdSense blog.
