Victoria Fagg Professor Roundtree Art 211-LN 16 October 2017 Refrigerator Technologies               Currently in time people cannot image their lives without refrigerators. Refrigerators are considered a necessity in everyday lives for most the world. The history of refrigerators begins in the 1800s. Ice was harvested, covered in saw dust, and used in ice houses to help preserve food (Ashrae Journal).   Around this time mechanical refrigeration were being invented and ice harvesting farms used plates to farm the ice (Ashrae Journal). In 1880s, there were ice farms in Austin, TX using Carre ammonium absorption methods to help freeze the ice (Ashrae Journal). Then, early 1900s the first refrigerators came about using ammonium, furthermore in the 1950s and 1960s there is carbon dioxide used as the cooling agents, rotatory air compressors, and automatic defrost systems, which all caused the frozen food industry to ...

This website has such a large amount of ASCII art. There was a about 23 folders with multiple  subfolders in each full of the ACII art. You can tell a lot of time if must of went into this website to create all the different pieces. Each one of the figures had such great detail. It is crazy to think that the artist was only using letters and symbols on their keyboard. The folders that stuck out to me was the people and nature.

This blog had a large range of posts about broadway shows that dated all the way back to 2011. Angel de Quinta's blog really shows you all the different types of shows that have been produced over the history of Broadway. Unfortunately, I have not been able to see many Broadway shows and hope to see more in the future. The only Broadway shows I have see are Wicked and The Lion King. After looking through the blog there were 3 shows that stuck out to me. Hair was one of the musicals that stuck out to me in this blog. Even though I have never seen this show I have heard about this show from my parents. The time period that the show was written is very influential in history. Quinta talks about how this show gave the country a new light after all of the deaths that were occurring in the country. I watched the video clip on the blog and in the one scene the way the lighting changed made the set pieces seem as thought they were changing even though the were not. This technology helped...
