Hey all, the semester's over, and I'll be too abroad to send <b><font color="#0000ff">obnoxiously</font> <font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="4"><i><font color="#ff00ff">fla</font><font color="#ff9900">mb</font><font color="#00ff00">oy</font><font color="#ff00ff">a</font><font color="#ff0000">nt</font></i> </font></b>emails next semester.<font size="4"> But!</font> There's one last thing I wanted to mention, granted that you all have a little bit of time now.<br>
<br><b><font size="6"><a href="http://LYNDA.COM">LYNDA.COM</a></font></b><br><br>If you<b> ever</b> thought something along the lines of<br><font face="garamond, serif" size="6" color="#3d85c6"><i>"Man, all the other film majors are so cool. Everyone sounds all legit talking about cameras and stuff and using Final Cat Pro or whatever and I don't know anything and I feel so behind."</i></font><div>
<br></div><div>Well it turns out, <b>nobody really ever teaches you Final Cut Pro.*</b></div><div>It's kind of the thing that everyone expects you to know. </div><div>Even when you take two solid years of obscure film theory junk and you become a junior, they don't really TEACH you Final Cut Pro ever. You just have to figure it out on your own. Well now there's an easy solution:<b><font size="4"> Lynda.com </font></b><br>
<font size="1">*unless you have friends<br></font><div><br>Normally, this is an really expensive online subscription for REALLY HELPFUL software tutorials on JUST ABOUT EVERY PROGRAM TO HAVE EVER EXISTED. The DMZ really doesn't stress this enough. I wish I had found out about this earlier. Try it out.<br>
<br><font color="#ff0000"><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b></font><br>Lynda.com reads your IP, and if you're using Vassar's Wi-Fi, you get to automatically make an account, and you get access to all the tutorials and the exercise files. BUT, if you're at home (like, when you actually have time), you're going to need to go here: <a href="http://computing.vassar.edu/guides/lynda/">http://computing.vassar.edu/guides/lynda/</a><br>
<br><b>Click "Connecting from Off-Campus" and the link found by "Without VPN." Sign in with your Vassar information and that connects you to Lynda.com via the Vassar servers and junk. Make an account/"profile"/whatever (if you haven't already), and you still get all the tutorial goodies. I promise this is invaluable if you need to learn ANY sort of software.</b></div>
