New Website

Well here we are at the end of class!  I am really excited and pleased with Myounghyang Kim's and my website for the All Okinawan Ozak Mountain Karate Association's website.  I sent the link to many AOOMKA members and officers and have received lot's of positive feedback from most of them. I feel like we have gone above and beyond was required for us for the class.  I really appreciate Kim's help and cooperation in building this website that I hope we use for many years to come.  There is still much planned for it in the future long after this class is over.  Even though we submitted it Thursday, I plan on making changes up to and long after we review it on our scheduled final day, next Monday. 

Last week, we successfully registered our domain name and got the AOOMKA website live on the internet!  I can't express how much the members of our association and I appreciate the new website and how much means to us.  Thank you Kim and Dr. Zeng!

Check us out online if you get the chance!

Client Website

Well I once again let another week slip by me without blogging.  I get so busy it just slips past me.

This week we submitted our first review.  We were supposed to get the business owner to review it.  Since mine and Kim's website is for my martial arts association, I actually sent the link to 14 different officers and members to review and give me ideas.  All the feedback that I have gotten so far has been very positive and I have already added three more pages to it.  I, andeveryone that I have shared it with has been excited with our new webpage.  Earlier today, I even got on Godaddy.com and purchased the domain name for five (5) years already.  So if you ever want to check us out after this semester we will be at:

It is not up online just yet, but I actually the person that will be hosting it for me in the other room working on putting what we have already online.  He works for me at JHDC and is the computer IT guy.  He is also going to school to get his degree in computer technology.  He has a couple of computers set up at his house that he is going to host it for me.  He was eager to get my files so he coulkd start working on and figuring out how to host sites from his home computers.

So things have really gone great in our Internet Communications class and I am proud of what I have learned. I am also proud of the website that Kim and I have made and look forward to using it and learning from it for many years!

Two Weeks

Video for the AOOMKA Website

I missed posting the week after springbreak.  Things were just too hectic and for some reason I had a difficult time thinking very coherently all week long.  It just wasn't the best week school-wise.  It was a productive week for the personal website.  Hanshi John Peeler finished working on a slide show video about Hohan Soken and the Matsumura Seito group that was around the Torii Station Karate Club on Okinawa in the late 1960's.  I helped John by spedning many hours over a long period cleaning up old photos getting rid os fuzz, specks, waterspots, etc. The slkideshow is comprised of photos that he and my instructor Soke Tom Hunnicutt took during that time period.  It also has a couple of poems that my instructor wrote.  My group project Kim Myounghyang did some translations for it as well.  The video is 7:54 long.  Take the time and check it out.
