Always Wanted To Schedule

 * Topic

Stream live audio on my website. I'm doing this because I've always wanted to start my own online radio station.


 * Research Component

The Library, Internet, journals and web postings that relate to servers and html.


 * week 1


 * week 2


 * week 3


 * week 4

The first thing I have to do is study enough html to create my own basic webpage. And also get started looking up live streaming.


 * week 5

Create my own webpage. Start figuring out how I will be able to play music on my website so when others go to my page they will hear it to.


 * week 6

Doing research on how to do this. Prepare for the stream and have content to play.


 * week 7

Start my stream and program the music/content in a basic media player until I am able to have a custom player to embed on my site. Work on finding an automation system that's not to expensive so I can schedule shows and content for certain days of the week at certain times.


 * week 8

I will have a basic website up and running with music streaming from my webpage.

Why Do I Like What I Like?
The piece I didn't like right away at the sculpture park was Bunyon's Chess by Mark Di Suvero. It made no since at all to me. As I read about the piece at the park all it said was the artist likes to make things suspended in air. So it was logs hanging, this didn't appeal to me at all. As I read the history on the piece though it just keeps getting more and more interesting. Di Suvero studied art in college but worked construction until he was critically injured in a freight elevator accident. During rehabilitation he learned to work with an arc welder. His exploration transformed over time into a focus on I-beams and heavy gauge metal. He made this piece referencing Paul Bunyon a mythological lumberjack who appears in tall tales of American folklore. This piece was commissioned by Virginia Wright in 1965. One thing I found funny was while making the piece he stayed with the wrights in their home during this time he rearranged their paintings, helped himself to their wine cellar and threw a party when they weren't home. I really like this guy now. The stories behind Paul Bunyon are hilarious too. I can honestly say I like this piece do to the fact of all the history behind it. It really is larger than just what we see with are eyes.
