Interactive Website tracking Burglaries and B&E's to Motor Vehicles

I'd like to see a website where Police Agencies are able to inform people and share information with neighboring departments about Burglaries and B&E's to vehicles. Many times, Departments are not able to see the big picture because criminals don't always pay attention to City borders. It would be helpful to show citizens where these crimes are taking place and have a way for them to report suspicious activity to the Police.

jQuery is powerful

I was impressed with the number of things that jQuery is able to do. It would save someone a ton of work and allow a small business to have a big business looking website. It was easy to use and the tutorial made it easy to follow along.

I definitely recommend heading to jQuery for any of your website design needs.

Midterm is Done

I completed the Midterm for this course today. It was an interesting way to test someone's knowledge. We had to create a webpage and answer certain questions, kind of like a scavenger hunt.

I almost published a link to my midterm to show what it looked like, but then I realized some people are still working on it.

Good luck to everyone still finishing up.

Cop Out

I don't get to see very many recent releases, but I recently saw Cop Out starring Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan. Kevin Smith, of the Jay and Silent Bob franchise-fame, directed this latest iteration of a buddy-cop movie. I was in a grouchy mood when the movie started and have to admit that I was in tears within the first 5 minutes of the movie. I don't usually recommend movies, but this one gets a thumbs up from me.

Enjoy with popcorn and a beer!

Embedding Images in a blog post

Here is a photo that fascinates me. It is Pat Tillman, former NFL safety for the Arizona Cardinals. Pat arrived at training camp on this bicycle instead of showing up in a limo or flashy sports car. He was a man that should be emulated by our youth.
