3 Websites I Use on a Regular Basis

1.)  Facebook-  Facebook is one of the most popular websites of the time, most people who own a computer have an account, and if you don't have an account you at least know someone else that does.  I go on Facebook to keep current on my friends lives and so I can keep in touch with friends that i don't necessarily get to see anymore.

2.)  Stumbleupon-  It is the worst time wasting site in the history of the internet, it gets you hooked in an instant and you never want to close the page.  Stumbleupon allows the user to input their interests and it will randomly generate a website that you will (most likely) enjoy.  I use this because it is interesting, plain and simple, their are billions of sites on the web and you never know what's out there until you find it.

3.)  Twitter-  Twitter is an interesting concept for a site, it is essentially Facebook statuses from all of your friends without the profile pages or applications.  I use this to say what's on my mind at the time and read my friends and favorite celebrities tweets.

Mike Bio

     My name is Mike Giannamore, I am an 18 years graphic design major studying at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island.  I'm originally from Cheshire, Connecticut which is a small town in New Haven County.  Although I have lived in Cheshire most of my life, I was actually born in Waterbury, and lived there until I was about 4.  I live in a 2 story house on a cul de sac with my two parents, and my older sister.  My parents both received their undergraduate degrees from the University of Connecticut, and my mother got her 6th year degree from Southern Connecticut State University.  My sister currently attends Southern Connecticut State University.
     For hobbies I like to golf, i own a set of clubs and I frequent the local public golf course (which could explain why i'm always broke).  I also like listening and playing music, i will pretty much listen to any type of music except for county because I find it irritating.  I also love the to go through Adobe Photoshop tutorials so that i can gain more of a repertoire with the program, that way, i can help a client get exactly what they want from what i'm designing.  Another important thing to know about me is that I am a die-hard Yankees and Jets fan, both teams are going to win their respective championships in 2011 and HOPEFULLY the Patriots and Red Sox will fail miserably.
