Blogger adalah penulis catatan harian di internet atau halaman web. Blogger ini merupakan pengguna internet yang rajin mengisi weblog. Salah satu kiprah Blogger yang signifikah di tahun 2004 adalah ketertiban mereka dalam kampanye calon presiden Amerika Serikat. Kubu John Kerry bahkan mendirikan weblog yang mencatat kegiatan kampanye sehari-hari calon presiden dari Partai Demokrat itu. Dalam konveksi nasional kedua kubu, blogger juga mendapatkan porsi khusus. Undangan bagi para blogger untuk meliput gelaran tersebut sempat membuat iri jurnalis konvensional.
Adam L. Penenberg, kolumnis Wired, menyebut masa depan jurnalis berada di tangan para blogger. Ia menyebut sekarang adalah saatnya bagi blogger untuk mencari berita sendiri dan bukan hanya mengomentari berita yang ada. Hal itu terjadi dalam bencana gempa dan tsunami yang melanda Asia di penghujung 2004. Lusinan blogger di Srilanka, Thailand dan India memberikan laporan pandangan mata mereka tentang bencana yang melanda.

Lady Gaga
LADY GAGA
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta[1] (born March 28, 1986),[9] who performs under the stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter and musician. She began her career as a songwriter for some of pop music's biggest stars, including Fergie, Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears and New Kids on the Block, as well as American singer and producer Akon. After Akon recognized that Gaga also had vocal talent, he signed her to a joint deal with his own label, Kon Live Distribution, and then she started to work on her own new material for her debut album.
Gaga released The Fame in 2008, which she explained was "about how anyone can feel famous". To date, the album has spawned the international number one hit singles "Just Dance" (nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 51st Grammy Awards) and "Poker Face". Gaga has been influenced by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen as well as '80s pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson.
Early life
Lady Gaga was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in Yonkers, New York, to Joseph Germanotta, an internet entrepreneur and his wife Cynthia, a telecommunications assistant.[10][11] both of whom are Italian Americans.[12][13] She has one younger sister.[14] As a child, she attended the private Catholic school Convent of the Sacred Heart.[15] Having learned piano by ear at the age of four, Gaga went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mic nights by the age of 14.[7] At the age of seventeen she gained early admission to the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she studied music.[7] She honed her writing skills by composing essays and analytical papers focusing on topics such as art, religion and socio-political order.[16] However, she withdrew from New York University.[5] At age 20, she began working for Interscope Records as a songwriter, penning songs for pop acts such as the Pussycat Dolls. After she moved out of her parents' house,[17] Gaga started performing downtown, in the Lower East Side club scene with bands Mackin Pulsifer and SGBand. Wanting to differentiate herself from the rock and roll typical of the scene, she chose to focus instead on pop music.[18] Speaking to her father's reaction to her drug use and performance in burlesque shows, "He couldn't look at me for a few months...I was in leather thongs, so it was hard for him—he just didn't understand."[15]
Gaga got her stage name when the music producer Rob Fusari compared her vocal style to that of Freddie Mercury, and took the name Gaga from the Queen song, "Radio Ga-Ga". It was Fusari who helped her to write some of her early hits, including "Disco Heaven", "Dirty Ice Cream", and "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich".[18]
Fashion
Gaga states that she is "very in to fashion" and that it is "everything".
"When I'm writing music, I'm thinking about the clothes I want to wear on stage. It's all about everything altogether—performance art, pop performance art, fashion. For me, it's everything coming together and being a real story that will bring back the super-fan. I want to bring that back. I want the imagery to be so strong that fans will want to eat and taste and lick every part of us."
With Times Online, she stated that her love of fashion came from her mother, who was "always very well kept and beautiful". Gaga has also said she channels Versace in everything she does and considers Donatella Versace as her muse in many ways. "She's iconic and powerful, yet people throw darts at her. She's definitely provocative." Melissa Magsaysay of Los Angeles Times reported that Gaga could be Donatella's doppelgänger. Magsaysay stated "her aversion to wearing a top and bottom at the same time ... swigging champagne and being fanned by oily men in Speedos [is] very Donatella-esque". Gaga has her own creative production team called "Haus of Gaga" which she handles personally which create some of her fashion, props on stage and hair.
Towards the end of 2008, comparisons were made between the fashion sense of Gaga and American singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera, noting similarities in their styling, hair and make-up. Aguilera later claimed she was "completely unaware of this person" and even "didn't know if it [Gaga] is a man or a woman". Afterward Gaga released a statement where she welcomed the comparisons because the media attention had provided useful publicity. "She's such a huge star and if anything I should send her flowers, because a lot of people in America didn't know who I was until that whole thing happened. It really put me on the map in a way." However, she later added that she doesn’t just want to be remembered for the "Christina Aguilera scandal" and that "nobody can copy me, because I can’t be copied."

Stories about Knowing
In 1959, at William Dawes Elementary School in Lexington, Massachusetts, a time capsule containing the students' drawings of their ideas of the future is buried and set to be ceremoniously opened 50 years later. A girl named Lucinda Embry contributes a page full of seemingly random digits. That night, Lucinda is found in a school closet, where her fingers are bloodied and she complains about hearing voices.
In 2009, the time capsule is opened and the drawings are given to the current students. A boy named Caleb receives Lucinda's envelope. His father John Koestler, a widower and professor of astrophysics at MIT takes notice in the paper, and he soon realizes that part of these digits form dates and death tolls of every major disaster over the past fifty years, and suggests three disasters yet to come. Meanwhile, Caleb begins receiving visits from mysterious figures in overcoats (listed in the credits as "The Strangers"), and during his encounters he hears their overlapping telepathic whispers.
John witnesses a commercial plane crash on the date the paper next predicted a disaster would occur, and he discovers that the unexplained digits on the paper are in fact the geographic coordinates of the events. Speaking with Lucinda's former teacher, John learns of Lucinda's closet episode, and also that she had since died after an overdose. He then meets Lucinda's daughter, Diana Wayland, but is rebuffed once he mentions Lucinda's paper. However, after John uses the numbers to correctly predict another disaster—a Manhattan subway train derailment which John tries and fails to prevent—Diana seeks out John, and together they go to investigate Lucinda's old remote mobile home. Having noticed that the last date on the paper is not accompanied by coordiantes, further clues in Lucinda's home lead John and Diana to realize that the '33' listed as the death toll for the final disaster is actually 'EE' reversed, which Lucinda meant to represent 'Everyone Else'. In the woods outside the home, John confronts one of The Strangers, who disappears in a flash of light. It is revealed that Diana's daughter Abby can hear The Strangers' eerie whispers as well.
John and a fellow professor forecast that a massive solar flare will soon reach Earth, and the final disaster on Lucinda's paper will indeed be global in scale. John then examines the door of the closet in which Lucinda was found, and discovers it is where she had scratched another set of coordinates. They represent the location of Lucinda's old mobile home, and John figures that it is somehow a refuge from the impending disaster. Diana insists they seek shelter in underground caves instead, and she takes Abby and Caleb, without John's knowledge, to go there. As panic erupts after news of the flare is made public, The Strangers drive off in Diana's car with Caleb and Abby still inside. Diana gives chase in another vehicle, and is killed when she is broadsided by a truck.
At Lucinda's mobile home, John finds the children with the four Strangers as a glowing vessel descends from the sky. The Strangers dispossess themselves of their human appearance, revealing themselves to be glowing, translucent figures surrounded by wisps of light. The Strangers invite only those who can hear their whispers to leave Earth with them. John convinces an initially reluctant Caleb to go with The Strangers, and the vessel departs with the two children. From the vantage point of space, other ships are seen taking off from all around Earth. John travels to Boston to be with his sister and parents. While he had distanced himself from religion following his wife's death, John reconciles with his previously estranged father, a Christian minister. John and his family embrace as the solar flare strikes Earth and incinerates all life on the planet. Elsewhere, Caleb and Abby are dropped off in an otherworldly field, as other ships are visible along the horizon, dropping off others. The film ends as the two make their way towards a prominent solitary tree in the distance.

Menulis dengan baik
Tidak tau kenapa menulis kata atau kalimat yang di campurkan dengan huruf besar kecil atau dicampurkan dengan angka itu menurut beberapa orang kreatif. Jika kalian ingin mencoba untuk berkarya dengan tulisan-tulisan atau karakter-karakter tersebut jangan dituangkan kepada tulisan yang mungkin dapat menyebabkan orang susah untuk membacanya dan tidak sampai kepada orangnya untuk membaca jika anda menulis kedalam surat melainkan sms, karena sulit untuk membacanya. Dan sebaiknya menulislah dengan bahasa sehari-hari saja. Bahasa sehari-hari yang bersifat nonformal memang lebih ganpang untuk ditulis dan sebagian orang memahaminya.
Buat apa menambahkan titik di depan huruf? Buat apa memberi jarak antar titik-titik? Buat apa menulis dicampur dengan angka?
Menyalahi aturan dalam menulis itu tidak apa-apa karena mungkin orang berpikir untuk lebih berkreatif, namun apa bila hal itu di lakukan secara utuh pada tulisan dapat menyebabkan orang tidak dapat membaca melainkan tidak mengerti apa yang di tulis.
Contoh kata-kata yang diperumit atau kata-kata yang mengalami penyederhanaan yang berlebihan sehingga sulit dimengerti:
kamu: kamuh,kammo,kamoh,kamuwh,k
aku : akyu,aq,akko,akkoh,aquwh,e
maaf: mu’uph,muphs,maav,etc
sorry: cowyie,cory,tory(?),etc
add : ett,etths,aad,edd,etc
for : vo,fur(zz),pols,etc
lagi : agi,agy
makan: mums,mu’umhs,etc
lucu : ludchu,lutchuw,uchul,luthu
siapa: cppa,cp,ciuppu,siappva,etc
apa : uppu,apva,aps,etc
narsis: narciezt,narciest,etc
Maaf kalau terkesan kasar, tetapi ini untuk kepentingan kita bersama.
