A little about Isaiah Bell

About me

Hi all! My name is Isaiah Bell, I was born in Topeka, Kansas but I grew up in a lot of places. I spent most of my childhood growing up in Texas, Michigan, and Arizona just to name a few places before coming back home to go to school.

 I am a sophomore here at Washburn University, I don't really know what I want to major in at the moment but I am leaning towards something to do with mass media. I took a class with Dr. Chorba last semester and I kind of give him the credit for be able to get me interested in this field.

Like most college students I enjoy most forms of media, over the summer I was able to catch up on several shows thanks to this handy app called Netflix. I was able to watch season 1 and 2 of Daredevil. I am a huge fan of music, particulary rap and  hip hop and some of my favorite artist are Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Denzel Curry, and the up and coming Lil Dicky.

I am a huge movie fan and I love analyzing and discussing them with people to hear different view points. I watch a lot of films that most people probably haven't heard of before as well as all the big Hollywood blockbusters that everyone knows about.

I have several hobbies some of the big ones are fantasy football, working out, doing almost anything outside, building PCs, and volunteering to any good cause if I have the time to spare. The picture of the doggie is my dog Winston and I actually adopted him from the Humane Society one of the main places I frequently volunteer at.

I've never blogged before so this will be pretty new to me and so far it seems like it'll be a lot of fun.

    I'm not a big dog person, but I absolutely love to hear what people name their pets. Winston is a great name. My son named his puppy Zelda, and I think we all have our own nicknames for her. RIght now Jake seems to be calling her Zellie, more than Zelda.

    I absolutely love the picture of your dog. I think it's hilarious when animals take on "human" characteristics.

    Beautiful dog! I love dogs too and have three myself. I also became interested in Mass Media after having class with Chorba.

    Your dog is too cute. I am a crazy dog lady so I was automatically drawn to your post. It's hard deciding what to major in, I changed my major before I settled with criminal justice! Whatever you choose, I hope it is something you love!

This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000. My husband, Gene, is the sports information director at Washburn, and we have two boys, Jacob, 13, and Jared, 11.

A real live crowdsourcing example

The internet has made many, many wonderful things possible. Yay technology. One of these things is a concept we call crowd sourcing or crowd sharing, etc. Robust user-friendly templates allow users all over the world to begin a fundraising campaign literally in minutes. Let me show you exactly what I mean. Sharon Sullivan is a professor in Washburn's Theatre department. She has a passion for helping empower all kinds of people. One of her heart causes happens to be families who have found themselves battling domestic violence. She has a goal to reach $1,000 for her cause through a website called CrowdRise. Others exist such as GoFundMe, etc. She set up her page and then reached out to her friends through email and Facebook. Check it out:  https://www.crowdrise.com/ywca-ne-ks-purple-purse/fundraiser/sharonsullivan4 As an assignment, please share another way crowdsourcing is used by COMMENTING on this post. (Things other than fundraising.) Please limit your answer to one th

WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG! photo by Darrin Hartford Darrin Does It I'm very excited to start my new blog and be able to share my vast wealth of information on not only automotive stuff, but household repairs including DIY Pinterest type projects as well.  I definitely have a knack for fixing things, and I hate to say it, but sometimes I like to keep that a secret.  A good handyman should have no problem keeping themselves busy.   I have been taking things  apart as soon as I was able to hold a screwdriver.  For a while I could only successfully take things apart but, as the years went on, I was able to reassemble the things I had taken  apart, much to the joy of my mother.  For whatever reason, she did not enjoy seeing her hair dryer, toaster, TV, microwave, vacuum cleaner...etc. torn apart.  :)   As the years went on, I eventually landed a position in the automotive business as a technician.  I began my career at the former Gregg Tire, located in downtown Topeka
