Well, I finally started my pinterest account. Mack has helped me with some of the computer stuff for my board on Computers.  I have a board for Indian pictures and sayings. I also have one for dream catchers. I find those fascinating.

Pinterest can be so addictive though. Can spend hours looking at things on there.

For this assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/how-it-all-began/ I added the history and beginning of the Black Widow Agency and added it to the History section of our website : http://blackwidow.kendallparker.com/history/. You can find how we were really created if you could not guess from the maNOIRpulators which was actually what got it started. Thankfully, I had some background in owning a business and knowing how to run one or… well you know what you can just read how we started on our website

Web Assignment:

Create Your Dream Vacation on Pinterest! 3?

I need a vacation. Planning and creating this agency website has taken a toll on me. I think Ireland would be a good place to go. I still have some family there. They may be pretty distant, but they are still family. I’ve been to Ireland before and I loved it. It’s the perfect getaway from big city life. Me and Brian love being able to travel back to the lands where our ancestors grew up. So while I was working oh so hard on the Tunes Squad’s website I just happened to make an awesome Pinterest Board of my favorite vacation.

For this assignment I made a Pinterest account for my character. I then looked at many different boards that showed off the pretty places to go in Ireland. I reblogged many different things about Ireland and then embedded the link to my board into this post.

This post contains my, Shelley Layton’s, current job resume for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Character Resume Web Assignment and when I happened upon the assignment I realized that I needed to update my resume anyway due to my moving to San Francisco and becoming a part of the Steadfast Sleuths. I created my resume in a Microsoft Word document and embedded the file into this blog post. Updating my resume made me realize how far I have come in the past year and I’m hoping that my career will keep heading in the positive direction it is now.

A person I keep close to me, Janaye Evans, has a Pinterest board dedicated to all the places she thinks/knows I have been…

I will just say I have not yet been to Italy, but those pins might be wishful thinking on her part for a trip she hopes to take with me..

For the Dream Vacation on Pinterest Web Assignment, I created a Pinterest board through Kayleigh’s Pinterest account detailing my dream vacation that I eventually would like to take to Japan. I first became interested in Japanese culture as I was learning the Japanese language during my time as a student at the University of London. Then when I moved out here to San Francisco, I learned much more about Japanese culture that I became interested in, the festivals, popular travel destinations, and the absurd amount of cats.

I have no particular order in which I would like to do things, but I definitely want to visit each of the places mentioned for a specific reason. Also, this could either be a trip I take alone or Sarah and Sasha could come too if they are interested. In Tokyo, I’d like to go to a cat cafe, go to hanami, also called cherry blossom viewing, and to go shopping for myself and for souvenirs for friends. In Kyoto, I would visit the Infinity Cafe and figure out which types of Japanese tea I prefer. The place I want to visit the most is Fukuoka Island, where semi-wild cats roam freely across the island and it would be so much fun to be surrounded by dozens of cats. There is also a similar island filled with rabbits called Okunoshima. To take a break from the more relaxing parts of the trip, I’m debating on visiting/investigating Aokigahara, the “suicide forest”, where multiple people enter each year and never return alive. If this venture proves to be too dangerous, I also plan to explore Hashima, an abandoned coal mining island off of the coast of Japan, which is a completely abandoned city which once held thousands of inhabitants. Finally, I would visit Kinokawa City to see Tama, the cat train station master and walk through the Wisteria Flower Tunnel at the Kawachi Fuji Garden in Kitakyushu, Japan. Of course, this vacation is still only a concept at best and will need much more thorough information before becoming a reality.

I recently just opened my own Art Gallery in my fathers’ bakery. He decided to close shop and try to reconnect with my mother.. a horrible idea but his incentive to get me to stay put while he is gone is to give me the shop for my own use.

The renovations happened rather quickly and I have been scouting the island for new young artists to showcase.

Here is my resume encase any future clients are curious..

For this web assignment I created a quiz on uquiz.com. This quiz is all about finding out who you are most related to on the show I was apart of on Noir Not the Father. The coolest person to get would be Micheal Bretton but there are a couple other good choices out there. Using uquiz.com was actually very easy and I would recommend it instead of the other site that the assignment suggests. It was very easily laid out and I did not run into any confusing spots.
