Three things I did not know:
I'm going to be honest, I knew most of the things on this article. So this is going to be a stretch.
1. That the 2001 iMac's slogan was "Rip. Mix. Burn."
2. That plenty of music releases are worth buying a piece of plastic instead of a file.
3. That more labels are selling their music directly to consumers, via their own websites.
(See, a stretch.)
Two opinions:
1. Good riddance, disc drive. I barely use you, and you had unnecessary heft. Can't wait to get my new MacBook Pro next year so I can get rid of about a pound of weight.
2. In fact, good riddance MP3 downloads. I prefer music streaming through Rdio (a Spotify competitor). I pay $10 a month and I get 95 percent of the music I listen to anytime I want it.
One question:
1. How long will it take for other computer manufacturers to follow? They've started with their laptops already, but dropping it from AIOs is new.

Fake Sandy Photos
Three things I did not know:
1. That you could search by image on google. That's pretty cool.
2. That there's a site that can analyze photos to find whether or not they're photoshopped. Again, pretty cool.
3. That people were falling for those photos. They look kinda fake.
Two opinions:
1. That first picture with the Statue of Liberty is ridiculous. The water is completely calm and there's a boat right there. It's pretty funny.
2. Lol that shark. I think that's all that needs to be said.
One question:
1. Why do people believe everything they see on Twitter of Facebook? People are so dumb.

What I learned this week: How to use the cameras, woo!
What I want to learn in the future: Actually, I just want to start shooting.
Something that frustrated me: I was driving home one night this week, and on the bridge above a road near my house was a passing train. I've never seen a train pass there. EVER. And the week after I need a train sound, one does.... sigh....
Something that made me happy: I saw Argo, and it was fantastic. Best movie I've seen this year. Also, I was inducted into NTHS.

Guys.
Stop what you're doing now.
Pause that song.
Because this video...is Tom Hanks. Doing beatnik poetry.
About the 90's sitcom Full House.
Full House.
So much win.
Princess Sofia, the White Latina
Three things I did not know:
1. That Sofia existed. Who knew?
2. People are upset over her skin color because she's supposed to be Hispanic but appears to be and is voiced by a white girl.
3. Disney argues that since she lives in a fairytale world, it doesn't matter.
Two opinions:
1. Who cares about her skin color? Really.
2. Disney has other ethnic princesses, I don't think they're actually trying to be racist.
One question:
1. Why does this matter, exactly? They're making a big deal out of nothing. Meh.

What It Really Means to be a Director
Three things I did not know:
1. That basically all you do is talk as a director.
2. How a film turns out is based on everyone who works on the film.
3. That you really need to communicate your vision with everyone, from set designers to editors.
Two opinons:
1. Directing kinda sounds boring. I'd want a much more hands on job.
2. At the same time, your name is really front and center if you direct.
One question:
1. Why exactly does an actor have the most dangerous job on set?

What I learned this week: Preeeeemiiiiereeee
What I want to learn in the future: How to use equipmeeeeennnt
Something that frustrated me: $#@#$ TRAIN SOUNDS ERRGH GARBAGE blah.
Something that made me happy: My sound story went over pretty well. Also yesterday (Saturday) was possibly the best day I've had since the summer ended.
So Community was supposed to premiere this week.
It didn't, NBC pulled it from the schedule.
No, it's cool. I don't even care anymore.
Sigh.
I assume NBC has these guys locked up in a dungeon somewhere, begging for food while Chevy Chase slowly loses his mind and says the N-word, but here's the cast telling you that October 19th is actually a state of mind rather than a date.
I hate you NBC. I hate you so much.
*cries*
Here's the stupid video.
I'm in an abusive relationship with this show.

California Makes It Illegal for Employers to Ask for Social Media Log-in Information
Three Things I Did Not Know:
1. Well, honestly, I did know this was happening. I heard about it probably on the podcast Tech News Today about a year ago. However, I didn't know that California was pushing legislation to stop it.
2. I also wasn't aware colleges were doing this for people who were applying for school.
3. That a teacher's aide was fired in Michigan for not giving up her Facebook password.
Two opinons:
1. This whole issue is ridiculous. No one should ever have to give their log-in credentials to anything unless prompted to do so by the authorities. The fact that people are being turned down jobs or fired because of this is outrageous.
2. You should always keep your social sites locked down to just your friends, and be careful who you add and don't add. You never know how it could affect your life.
One question:
1. Just...why are we letting this happen? If everyone said no to this, companies would eventually stop asking.
