Christopher Keough's Multimedia webpage

Here is a little audio introduction of the page. It is a wav. file recorded on a Olympus Digital Voice Recorder.

Here are some links to pages that I thought were helpful in explaining two of the more popular file compression techniques, JPEG's and MP3's. They are from a website called "How Stuff Works" which I feel is one the best sites to learn complicated subjects.

JPEG's
MP3's

There are many online multimedia resources on the web. The following are some that I am the most familiar with:

My Space is a social networking site. It allows the users of that site to store audio, video, pictures, as well as Instant Message. People generally communicate on this site by leaving "comments" or "messages". I think is is a great resource because it allows you to communicate with others for free while also letting them see pictures, audio, and video of yourself or your favorite things.
I Tunes is an online music and video resource. It allows its users to purchase and store audio and video as well as import their own with a wonderful graphical user interface that allows you to categorize your collection. My boss swears that this is best idea ever (along with the Ipod) because it allows you to store everything you own cheaply and effectively and because the price to purchase new material from them is far less expensive than it would be from a retail outlet.
Snapfish is an online picture storage site which allows users to share and store their pictures. I believe this is a wonderful resource because in addition to sharing and storing your photos, the site allows you to edit and purchase photos online as well.
You Tube is an online video storage site with a tagline of "Broadcast Yourself". It allows users to upload video to the site as well as view other people's video. This is really a super site as you can watch video of your favorite band or events that happened in the world. A wiseman said "If it happens, it will eventually be on You Tube".

My favorite musical band is Radiohead. They have released many critically acclaimed albums, but the best in my opinion is OK Computer which arrived in 1997.

Here is a You Tube link to a music video from a song off that album..... No Surprises.
