First Blog Post Assignment

Technical Questions (5)
I'm really interested in the wide range of customizations I can do to my blog, and in particular I really like that you are able to customize your background picture. I think this is a particularly important choice because it will the the one permanent aspect of the blog that will follow my reader everywhere they go, no matter how much they scroll down or what they look at. I want this to be as accurate of a representation of me as possible, and part of that would be for make it to look as neat as possible. However, there is an issue because the screen is much wider than the photo and it gives my blog a very cut-up and choppy feeling, which I would prefer to fix. Does anyone know any way I'd be able to crop my photo or extend it so that it would fit each user's screen and give as solid and defined background picture as possible?

If you'd like to provide feedback on my current picture and layout that would be greatly appreciated too!

Since this blog will revolve around my coursework as well as my personal interest's coming up with an all-inclusive title might be difficult, but I think it'd be a good idea to let the title revolve around the most pertinent aspect, my coursework, since that is the most important factor and my interest's may overlap. That is why I will be leaving the title of my blog as "Adam Sadek's College Writing 1 Blog". If anyone else thinks I should change it to something more provocative I am willing to hear their reasoning. 

Post an image or video that has your curiosity

This video is very interesting to me because it consists of many things that I have thought about it the past or think about doing in the future. As an aviation student and aspiring pilot, I have put a lot of thought into the dangers of my hobby and potential career, and know that tragedies happen all the time. I also have thought about going skydiving at some point in my life and working as a pilot for a skydiving company as I work to build up my credentials, networking, and experience. That is why this video hits very close home, since this is something that may very well happen to me one day. Amazingly, despite the the mid-air collision seeming to be very severe and the damage to the planes substantial, hence the missing wing(s) and explosions, all the people aboard managed to survive and land relatively unharmed. While the positive outcome is very uplifting, it should also be noted that everyone was very lucky, and that more precautions should be taken to prevent something like this happening in the future. I don't know where my career will take me just yet but because of this video I'll always remember the potential dangers of my job and try to minimize them.
