May 8 Update

I feel today was extremely productive. This morning I spent an hour on preliminary research - finding links, researching ideas - before meeting with Melody at the university for 3 hours to discuss the Sustainability project. Our ideas and decisions regarding the project can be read here, on the joint blog we started to keep track of the project.  I am especially looking forward to the sustainability tour we booked for next Wednesday; it promises to be very interesting. 

Once I was home from the university, I used my remaining time until the meeting to screen and copy some O Canada CDs I found, in order to add to the O Canada network. It has only now occurred to me that there may be copyright issues with this; pending a response from David on this issue, I will try to find iTunes or Amazon previews of the CDs, as well as going to the library to find more of them.

The meeting was also very productive - I loved Damian's blog proposal and am very excited to work on it. Those of us who are working on this blog have exchanged emails and plan to do a group chat tomorrow to further discuss the blog and hopefully make some progress on a template for blog content. I have a few concerns regarding the blog's accessibility once it makes it onto the site: so far in browsing I have not found it intuitive to find the resources I am looking for, and worry that others may have the same issue. Since I am not a tech person, I believe I am a fairly good barometer for the average Internet user; I believe the accessibility and organization of resources on the site is something that should be looked into.
