Curation Progress Report #3
Continuing with the last week's progress in giving a clear and simple description of the subject, I will have to say that I've progressed into much deeper explanations and examples. As this week's goal, I've decided to finish providing the viewers with clear examples such as explantion videos and links to a website that explains the aspect of distinctive automobiles that I'm trying to curate on my webpage. As I moved on with my project, I've just finished including the different views of the car enthusiasts who value different things when choosing their rides. During the researching process for this week, I found one thing that I did not know about before. The thing that I learned is the direct and port fuel injection system that Scion FRS uses in its boxer engine. By using both fuel injection method, the fuel can be spray and combusted much more efficiently and since one can be turned on and off, the performance of the engine is improved due to the use of the two injector at the right time. Even though I knew that they had two fuel injectors in each cylinder, I did not know specifically about the benefits that it posessed.
As a I'm approaching the finish line in curation project, I will be focusing on putting the right amount of final touches and try to take out the unnecessary information which might just make the project long but not at its best. Before I even do this, I should think about what the subtopic is mainly focusing on and delete out the informations that fit into the other category. Last but not least, I'm going to make sure that I've used at least 25 different sources so that the curation is more complete and do not lose points that I can get by putting little bit of more effort and time into the project.

Best of Week: Ted Presentation and The Possible Opportunities
Best of Week: Ted Presentation and The Possible Opportunities
From what I remember, when I was first introduced to the basic ideas and the form of TED Presentation, I thought that the topics related to future growth and sustainability will mainly be related to the enviornmental aspect and not differ much from other to other. However, as I explored more choices of parts that I can do a research and present for the class, I found out that I can present a future sustainability which is greatly affected by the use and growth of automobiles. After this initial thought process and deciding on focusing on the automobile aspect of the future growth and sustainability, I've came across another difficult task. It was to show it to the audience so that anyone can understand it easily and carry it forward in their lives. However, I realized that unless I have a clear examples and pictures, I wouldn't be able to accomplish this main task. In order to do this well, I spent good amount of time searching and selecting only the most clearest and easy to understand topics.
If I had to mention why I enjoyed TED Presentation, there are several reasons that clear describes it. First of all, the topic that I've chose was what I wanted to do a research about and kept me focus throughout the process. Additionally, I found a lot of interesting facts about automobiles that I didn't have clear knowledge about since the research process gave me a chance to explore new areas and opportunities. What I mean by opportunities is that by doing the research about what automobile can do to the environment, I could have easily identified the focus that the automotive industry will mainly focus on. I also thought that this will greatly help me in the future in finding the true occupation that I will love doing for my life happily and challenge me. To sum up the ideas, the TED Presentation not only gave me a chance to learn about the impacts that cars have to the environment, but also the opportunities that are nearby.

Curation Progress Report #2
Curation Progress Report #2
After learning about the initial startup techniques from the curation progress report #1, I've had much more clear ideas and structure that I will be working with. As a specific accomplishment this week, I've decided on 5 main sub topics that I will be focusing on this curation project and have written the beginning paragraphs for each subtopics that will introduce the readers and viewers to main ideas that I will be expressing in website that I'm currently building. As another important accomplishment, I've also added several crucial example videos that will show the differences between different types of the exhaust notes that only certain people will prefer. Not only that, for some subtopics, it was necessary that I needed further informations that can support my examples that I provided, so I added a link to the websites to the subtopics that needed further explanations.
During the week 2 of the curation process, the most difficult obstacle that I had to overcome was figuring out and deciding the most important introductory ideas that will be clear and concise since not everyone is an expert in the field of automotives. In order to ease the difficulty of the subject, I've decided to add some examples that everyone can simply understand. Another obstacle that I've faced was getting used to the tools and controls that I have to use in order to edit or add information to my web page. However, after struggling for about 15 minutes, I finally started to understand it by little by little. As the curation progresses, I'm liking the idea even more and more.
Considering the parts that needs to be worked on soon, I'm planning to focus more on the specific subtopic and include as many examples and facts as possible to curate the question and the solutions more clear and understandable. In doing that, I think that I will have to choose a background design and color to be more information focused and to a bright color. After completing these steps, I will recent news and technologies in automotive world in the opening page which makes the curation more informative and try to use the spaces in the structure of the page more widely.

Curation Progress Report #1
Curation Progress Report #1
As I chose the that I was going to curated by myself and strategy, topic for the curation project was bright from the very beginning. The main point that I will be focusing on are the charateristics and components that make a car desirable and much more than unique. As a first stage in starting the actual project, I decided to make my own web page using the Google Sites. I had a few difficulty choosing the menus and options even though it proved to be much simpler, the curation finally began!
As of now, I've done deciding the layout and setting up the subtopics that are crucial topic and that I will explore and foucs on curating. In each subtopics, I currently have knowledges that have accumulated over the years as I've been deeply interested in individual components that make up a vehicle and I've also added specific details that will help the reader with a clear description and understanding. On the other side, the biggest obstacle that I have to overcome during the curation is use this opportunity and learn much broad information about automobile technology and opportunities that are available out there and not just try to stick to my current knowledge by itself.
As I was working on the project, I actually believe that I might have found one of the path that I can follow in the future. As the project progressed, I found out that creating a website where anyone can share a interesting facts and information that are about a wide variety of vehicles can act as a one big space that can grow into a united car related website. It can include from personal reviews, to a internet community. I'm planning to take this step little bit further and actually start from the very beginning.
As the next steps in the curation process, I am planning to start from gathering sources that can be used in curating and sort out the most crucial informations. Another step that I will complete in the near future is to organize the information so that it can be located where it needs to be and don't use the unnecessary information that can avaid the reader from understanding the topic and informations.
