Online Security
In terms of how safe I am online, I would love to assume that I am doing everything in my power to keep hackers out. Frankly, this is not the case. I do not use any anti viral software on my computer nor have I looked into purchasing any. Luckily, I have never encountered a problem to need viral software, but it would be safer if I invested. As far as my passwords go, I try to use as many as I can. By doing so, I often forget which password goes where so I end up sharing passwords with almost all of my accounts except my bank account. My bank account is a whole different story. I was affected by the Heartbleed bug and my bank account was then wiped by a third party, leaving me penniless. I never click on emails I don’t know where they’re coming from, but I have a gut feeling I made a credit card purchase at a store who’s software was affected by the Heartbleed. I am much more careful now online then I have ever been before. I have to admit, it does kind of scare me that anything I put on the internet, a “bad guy” has already seen. Kinda freaky, right?

This week, I have continued to collect items to add to my online exhibit. I made a trip to the library, but could not locate any of the materials you suggested I should check out. This was frustrating that they have every issue of Washington and History Monthly except for the exact issue I needed. To make up for the lost time in the library, I have located a few reputable online sources. Some of these sources are news articles, but one in particular talks of the design aesthetics of D.C which I thought was truly interesting. I found a comparison of two plans which will definitely be helpful.
It is really frustrating trying to find any primary sources in regard to road design. I have maybe two. I think it will be more worth my time to stop the hunt for these unknown primary sources and concentrate on the context and facts of my secondary sources.

Brittany,
I’m so sorry to hear you were affected by the Heartbleed glitch. If you’re curious, you can download anti-virus software for free from the GMU IT website. I’ve been using it for several years, and I think it’s pretty good.
As for your project, I’m sorry you ran into a wall trying to find those primary sources. That’s often one of the most frustrating parts about research. It’s good that you have other primary sources, though, and that you’re asking for help. Make sure you let us know of any other questions as they arise.

Should I continue to look for primary sources? It says in our rubric we need at least 12 primary, but frankly it looks like it’s going to be a struggle to reach 6.

Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a entirely different subject but it has pretty
much the same layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!
