Coming up with an image or icon that defines us as a group or that had some connection to the topic of "writing through media" proved to be a harder task than it looked. So our group started to come up with different ideas such as a picture of all three of us, a picture of just Amie giving a “thumbs up” gesture and even “let’s use the Starbucks logo since we all like coffee." Although, I'm not going to argue with Amie that I enjoy Starbucks coffee, Shayna was right to point out that the Starbucks logo is their logo and that we needed our own. So we finally settled on the idea that cell phones play a big role in our daily lives and that our constant use of text messaging on our cell phone applied to the concept of writing through media.
After searching Google images for cell phone pictures, we stumbled upon a picture of a friendly humanoid cell phone who we thought might fit the profile for our band mascot. At first I wasn't crazy about "Celly the friendly Cell phone" and was open to other suggestions, but after awhile he started to grow on me a little, and I also liked the idea of having a friendly cell phone as our mascot since technology can me frightening for some.
The blog layout was chosen by Amie and I agreed with her pick because it had a futuristic feel to it which I think goes well with the whole importance of technology vibe we are trying to give out in our band.
Instead of posting a picture, I am posting a video clip from the TV show “Family guy” which somehow connects with the idea of how electricity/technology is important in our lives and how miserable life would have been had Thomas Edison been a jerk and not shared his discovery.

Okay, that clip was PERFECT! I love it. You did a nice job of clarifying the "why" behind the cell phone. I wasn't such a fan at first, but I do think you clarify it a bit. I'd like to know more about your clip though. What is significant about it for you...besides the hilarity, of course.
