The Meta-Blog Post

Reading over all my past blog posts was actually quite enlightening. In all honesty I rarely read over my work after it has been "turned in", and this process of re-reading my old writing has made me want to do so again in the future. I was reminded of what made me write about each topic and what I had thought about that lead me to write certain things. I noticed that in every post I had attempted to make a connection with something from our class discussions, or rather I used things from class as a starting point for each post. In a few of them I made personal connections, or connections to things classmates had said. There was something I noticed in some posts that I had not expected, a lack of finalizing my thoughts. I believe this was caused by me fully formulating a thought and opinions in my head, but not following through in writing. It seems like in some posts I jump to a question for the reader without fully voicing my own opinion. An example of this is my post "Variation in Media Sources" where I wrote "I guess my ultimate question is...", jumping into a question about bias in media sources without answering that very question myself, or at least stating some views of mine about it. I avoided this in the majority of my posts, but some seem to lack a definitive point or idea. As weeks passes and I gained more experience with the blogging medium, I began to develop my connections and links more fully. In fact, I'd say that my post "Working at Home" is almost like one big connection in itself. The post contains numerous quotes of my interviewee from the society connectedness project. I wrote this post with the intention of portraying her ideas and opinions moreso than my own. I feel this was good because it was different from my other posts. Overall, my blog so far has been a useful and expressive medium for me that has clearly expanded the breadth of my writing style by adding a new, more open conduit for casual writing.

The post I would like to be graded is my very first post, iPhone Jailbreaking Becoming Commonplace
I think out of all my posts this was on the topic I was most interested in, which lead to a more interesting post.
