Introduction

Howyagoin??

My name is Dane. Im 17 from the Gold Coast. My interests would be Music (drummer), Martial Arts (3rd degree black belt) and Tennis (get beaten by my Dad). Im doing a Bachelor of Communications. My majors would be Journalism and Music Media and Culture.

I've always wanted to do Journalism, mainly because I think the line between journalist and entertainer has become a bit fuzzy in the Australian media, on commercial networks atleste. I think young people are pretty much oblidged to be the ones to pick up the slack. I picked New Communications Technology mainly because i think it would certainly help my availablity as a journalist. A digital presence aswell as a written or spoken presence.

As for the music i've been a drummer since grade 5 so i've always been heavily into music. I would love to combine the two and be a music journalist. I use a fair few communications technologies of a day. I podcast a couple of news shows and talk back shows. I also use discussion forums and instant messengers, myspace and what not. I used to play ALOT of online games a year or two ago, untill i realised you can amuse your self just as easily by trying to beat your high score of 136 on tetris, so that saved me about $15 a month.

Im looking foward to learning more about communications technologies and i hope i will have something more exciting to right about than myself in the future.

Untill then......
