https://lindsaypoirierysa.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/incorporating-the-semantic-web-part-1
Engaging Youth as a Social Media Intern at Youth Service America. Incorporating the Semantic Web – Part 1. Overall plan: Collect all data relevant to individual fan page posts for the past three months and create mash-ups of the data with Google Visualizations in order to visualize the times and types of posts that were viewed by most users and generated the most fan feedback. First, I expanded the YSA Facebook fan page to display all wall posts for the past three months (beginning on March 1, 2011).

Repository for a Meandering Mind. Thoughts from a technology nerd with a compassionate heart and an unbounded brain. July 15, 2012 in Uncategorized. I toyed a lot with whether this post would be ethical to write. First, I’m discussing people’s lives lives that I was only acquainted with for a few brief hours. Is it fair for me to make those circumstances public to the rest of the world? Would I care if someone were to do that to me? Well here goes nothing. Wo din de sen? And what is your name?

Frustrations of Code | Service Springs
https://lindsaypoirierysa.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/frustrations-of-code
Engaging Youth as a Social Media Intern at Youth Service America. To recap the goal of this project, I am trying to build a device that analyzes the feedback and impressions that YSA receives on its Facebook posts and query that against data on the day of the week and the time that it was posted. This way we can track if certain times or days are better for posting. Be fairly straight-forward, so this has been fairly frustrating to debug. Fall naturally into place (no promises). July 12, 2011. Email chec...

Repository for a Meandering Mind. Thoughts from a technology nerd with a compassionate heart and an unbounded brain. Meeting His Majesty, King of the Ashanti. July 6, 2012 in Uncategorized. Before I get anyone’s hopes up, I should probably let you know that I did not actually meet the king. I was supposed to, but things don’t always play out as planned in Africa. So be up at 7 am, and don’t wear white. (I had no idea why.). Finally we were told to head into a courtyard, where we sat in a large audience f...
