Apple in Hot Seat

This week I decided to do my last video on the iPhone 4 and Apple. Apple has been in the news for the past week, because the new phone has been having issues with its signal strength. Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple has promised everyone that owns a phone right now will receive a free case to correct the problem. My question is will that really help it? I guess we will just have to wait and find out. I interviewed a couple iPhone users and one Apple technician to get their imput on what they believe needs to be done. I think that Steve Jobs has his work cut out for him. Even though I am not an iPhone user, I have a Mac and I love it...Steve needs to step up his game to keep his customers happy.

Student Ambassadors

I used to be a Student Ambassador when I was first going to school here at BYU Idaho. I had a roommate who introduced me to the program and I have had many great experiences and memories that I will remember forever from my time as a volunteer. I had the opportunity to meet with the new directors and the administrative leader this week and I will say the program still sounds the same, but yet different. The program has new innovative ideas that will make the program that much better. I was able to interview Carl, who is one of the directors and he told me a bit about the program now. He was a ball of fire and I enjoyed talking with him. Too bad I couldn't interview Sister Morley, but she seems like a great asset to the program. Enjoy learning about the Student Ambassadors.

Cheap and Fun Dating

I have been doing a series of podcast's on dating tips and I thought that this would be appropriate for a story idea here at BYU Idaho. Since there is a lot of dating up here, I thought that I would interview people and see what their thoughts on cheap dating were. I think that I was able to receive some great feedback and see what the students really think about cheap and fun dates. I am a big supporter of cheap dates...especially ones that involve the park.

Amazing Cupcakes

I have always wondered how and why the Cocoa Bean in Rexburg Idaho became so popular? I have had a cupcake here and there from the cupcake cafe and was not that impressed, but was later informed by other students their reasonings on why they like the Cocoa Bean so much. I realized that everyone is different in their reasonings and I am glad that none were super biased. For the majority each student I interviewed really loved the Cocoa Bean, so in fact this is the place to go get your sugar high when you need a pick me up.

Interview

I had the privilege to interview Duncan and he told me some things about him and why he chose to come to BYU-Idaho. He was kind enough to let me interview him and find out some things about him and ultimately helped me with Final Cut Express. I asked him questions like, where he is from and why he chose to come to BYU Idaho and what his major is and what his plans were for when he graduates. He was a great sport and I had fun interviewing him for Comm 360.

My Website is DONE

Okay I know I haven't been keeping up with this lately, but I wanted to post that I have finished my website finally and if you would like to view it, go to www.thinkbeckster.com

I would like some feedback, but I understand that many of you don't have much time and I don't have many people that view my blog. Anyways...I need to go to bed, cause it is like 3 in the morning and I have class tomorrow.

Klippel Boys

Here are some pics of my handsome nephews!!!!
While I was at home over the summer I took some shots of them to get some practice. Sorry I am just now getting them edited and posted, but I have been super busy this month. All I can remember is that we had fun and that they were super hard to photograph, but I think that they all turned out really well. My little nephew Caden moved a lot and was not in a lot of the pics, but these are the ones that I got.

This first one is my favorite because it shows all of the boys personalities...you can tell that Parker is the only photogenic one due to the smile on his face hahaha.

Spencer...he is the oldest!

Parker, oh he is so cute!!!

Caden, I love his fun personality....I wish he wouldn't cry when I held him.

Ashton, the not so photogenic one...he actually did alright this time around.

Cute Klippel boys!

My second favorite one...Ashton actually smiled for real...thanks to his Dad Brandon!

Last one...Spencer laughed when he saw this one because he wasn't smiling...he said he didn't want to take pictures that day and that's why he wasn't smiling, what a terd hahaha....He got better and actually smiled, this was one of the first shots taken that evening.

I had fun taking pictures, but there is tons of room for improvement. My sister loved them and so do I! I am thankful to have such an awesome family. I love and miss my family so much.
