Welcome!

Hey Ya'll,

Hope you like the blog template I chose, it's called "No.897". Very cryptic...

Anyways, thought I'd pop up a little blog so if we have any thoughts or links or dreams or whatever, we can really easily post them for all to see. (As much as I like doted, I've found it very difficult to use in both my classes that use it and can't reply to anything, plus it's real slow from home.)

So, let's begin:

Here is a website I found really interesting, and perhaps relevant. All these websites are interconnected, and are for District 9 (the movie, see it if you haven't!).

district9movie.com - the more traditional movie website with information, but after the preview (you can skip), you navigate the site with a 360 degree view of a refugee camp and you can click on the different buildings, which pop up little videos that are in the style of the movie.

d-9.com - This is a little different. Here, the website is the fictional refugee camp in the movie, illustrated by a map. Before entering the site, you must choose a character (human or alien). The alien side of the site is in a made up language, and there a many attributes to click on and find out more info. You can look for jobs or find out gov't regulations. Sometimes you break laws and are redirected to the next site:

Multinationalunited.com (MNU) - A fictional government organization that is established to form regulations around aliens living on Earth and the use of their technology. The site explains these regulations in many interactive ways, including videos and directories. It's very in depth.

There are also more sites, like a blog in the alien language about alien equality, MNU training site, and more...

Very interesting and comprehensive.
