Intro Blog (Lucas Russell)
My name is Lucas Russell and I am from Mankato. I spent 3 years in Japan in the US Navy. I have been back in the US since May of 2000.
I have never blogged before. I have done some online chatting via instant messengers and chat rooms. Lately my only form of internet communication has been with email. I don’t care much for chat rooms or internet postings. It’s not that I think they are bad, I just usually don’t choose to deal with people unless it is face to face or unless it is someone I have already met.
I think that technical communications is a way of expressing your idea’s in a very detailed and explicate way. I used to think that it was only about actual technical topics. After reading the first few chapters in the book I figured it must be any form of professional communication, regardless of occupation.
My career goals are on the fence right now. I had made my mind up to be a software designer/programmer when I left the military. My first technical job since being discharged was at KEYC Channel 12 here in Mankato. I have come to think that I may stay in TV and just move up to a bigger TV station. My main career goals are to be in a technical field and make lots of money. Life’s not as much fun without money. I know, I’ve been on both ends of the cash cow.
I haven’t taken any kind of online courses before. I didn’t realize until my second year at MSU that that was even an option.
I took this course because it fit into my summer schedule and is required by my major, CIS. Being an online course is just a coincidence. I do like the fact that I can spend less time running to campus to attend a class.
