Self Evaluation
Let's make myself look good here, I have posted every homework on time and posted on everybody's blog at least twice. What's that you say? Almost all my blogs are dated Wednesday, February 9th and you dont have any comments on your blog. You caught me, you caught the 'tator. The real deal is the teacher said the blogs don't have to be completed until the first evaluation period so pretty much everyone in the class is waiting until the last minute to finish their blogs. Little does the class know the teacher has already deleted the previous homework assignments so now nobody knows what to write about.
Since I am supposed to judge myself, I would say my posts are good quality and have addressed each homework assignment. They could use a few more multimedia links but let's face it, I dont even use a facebook account let alone browse YouTube for videos. I thought YouTube was spelled 'utube' until google told me I was stupid and said "Did you mean YouTube?". I have posted a few comments on classmate's blogs, but I could probably post a few more to be above average involvement.
What is the purpose of this blog?
As on my blog: The grand plan is to discuss engineering methods, tools, and ideas used in the real world today. We will soon come to realize it is the simple tools, such as legos, that provide the greatest influence and practicality. The whole point of this blog is to impart a solution to the reader when addressing real world engineering problems.
Who is the imagined audience(s) of this blog?
I don't feel I have a set audience for blog. The audience for this blog will be more or less people who find my writings style awkwardly interesting and people who get a kick out of the jacked up things I may say. I like to take a smart-ass approach to certain things; some people find it offensive, some people find it hilarious. On another note, I will post articles taking more of a "How-To" approach since I have personally taken a lot from that community without return.

Have my posts matched up with my purpose/audience? What/who might I be overlooking in defining my purpose/audience this way?
Hard to say since I have really only posted one item and I didn't really finish it. The one post was a build up to an idea I didn't get to but eventually will.

What can I do to encourage more reader participation with my blog?
I feel the blog title I have and the topics I use have a solid attraction to them. Heck I barely wrote two paragraphs and I received four comments totaling more than I wrote to begin with. I suppose I could suggest provocative ideas that would stimulate reader involvement.

How can I expand my audience in this class? Outside of this class?
This question seems very similar to the last one. But I suppose I could enable Google search on my site (currently I have this disabled). Since this class requires us to comment on other classmate's blogs I think members will eventually stumble upon my blog and some may find it interesting. I think my "How-To" parts will interest outside users, since internet is crawling with 'users'.

How would I characterize / characterize the tone of my blog?
The tone of my blog is probably sarcastic yet informative. I like to educate people and provide entertainment at the same time.

What do I hope to get out of writing this blog?
A good grade. Oh, wait... I mean the self satisfaction of effectively communicating scientific ideas to the public with the knowledge their complete understanding of the ideas. But seriously, I just hope to have a good time and hopefully polish my writing skills geared towards the organization and publication of ideas and hopefully I can help some dude in the process.
What would I like others to get out of it?
What would I like others to get out of it?
Since I would like to simplify ideas and create how-tos, I suppose I would hope others would get new ideas and methods out of my blog.
What are the strengths of my blog/my blogging?
What are the strengths of my blog/my blogging?
The strengths of my blog will probably be the skill-knowledge I can provide as well as the entertainment of my particular writing style.
What are the weaknesses?
What are the weaknesses?
Weaknesses will most likely be the length of material in posts and keeping the blog itself up to date; too busy to breathe here.
Have I used a deficit model in my writing, or something else? How would I know?
I'm sure I have used the deficit model before. In some way, shape, or form everyone will us it or some form of it. The deficit model is and always will be required, again in some way, shape, or form. Don't prejudge me for stating that I promise I will make it a blog title and elaborate.
How have I characterized (implicitly or explicitly) science, engineering, and/or technology in my blog?
How have I characterized (implicitly or explicitly) science, engineering, and/or technology in my blog?
Since my blog is still young, I can only say will characterized science, engineering, and technology as a tool set to solving problems in the real world.
How have I characterized myself?
I will most likely characterize myself as the teacher you can stand to be around. No pun intended.
