Blog Post 3/31: NCAA Reflection
I learned how to use google sheets. I've never used it and hardly used excel so a lot of it was new to me but i picked it up well and was able to do it all. I had a Bracket before we did this project and based my bracket off my previous one. It ended up not working well because UCLA, who i had winning the championship, lost in the sweet 16. I watched whatever game was on in the first two rounds and since the sweet 16 I've been watching every game. I learned how to use formulas in google sheets.

Blog Post 3/30
Whenever I have free time I usually sit down and watch my favorite show The Office. If you have never heard of it the office is a showed about the everyday life in the office of paper company Dunder Mifflin. It is filmed like a documentary. The show has some big name actors like Steve Carell, Ed Helms, and Craig Robinson. You might feel this show is stupid and boring at first but as you watch more and get to know the characters more you'll start to love it. At first I hated it but as i watched it more it started to grow on me and now it is my favorite show. I've watched the whole 9 seasons through about 5 times on Netflix. Another Show I like to watch is the walking dead. The Walking dead is a very popular series on AMC. It is about the zombie Apocalypse and focuses on a group of people who are fighting to survive it. The show has been airing for several years now and has grown to be one of the most popular shows on television.

3/21 Spring Break
On my spring break I went back to Maryland to see my family and friends. I flew into Maryland on Saturday night. Sunday I went bowling with my dad and my sister. That evening my sister and I went to a nice dinner with my grandparents and uncle. That night I stayed over my friend tarrances house and spent the whole day over there on Monday. Monday evening I went to Texas Road house with some friends from my old school. Tuesday we got 10 inches of snow so we didn't do anything. Wednesday My sister, dad and I went to Dave and Busters before taking me to the airport to come back to Kansas. Friday, Saturday and Monday I had baseball practice.

Google parent company spins off self-driving car business
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/technology/google-parent-company-spins-off-waymo-self-driving-car-business.html
Self driving cars are close. What if i told you they were so close it has already started. Google has created their own self driving car and is ready to hit the road. Advances in sensor technology and machine learning capability has made this all possible. The ability for the machine to gather and learn information means self driving cars will be a regular sight in a few year. Other companies have also discovered this technology. Tesla already has self driving cars on the road today. This emerging technology can make a huge difference in our society. It will eliminate the danger of drunk, high, and drowsy driving. It will also allow people to use their cell phones safely in the car and eliminate distractions at the wheel.

3/02/17 Infographic Peer Feedback
Thomas w- Thomas's info graphic was very good. It shows he put time and effort into his work. Also his information is easy to see and quick to understand. The only thing i would change is the amount of words used.
Lauren S: Lauren's info graphic was very good! she had a lot of good information as well as making it easy to understand. She used the least amount of words possible which is good. Also lauren was creative with her design making the info graphic appealing to the eye.
Cole C: Cole's info graphic was very good. He had a lot of good information on it. Also it was very creative. A little to much use of words but besides that a very good infographic.
Jack H: Jack had a very good info graphic. He was efficient on getting his info down without using words. Also he had a lot of info that I was able to learn a lot from.
Brendan B: Brendan' info graphic was very creative. His design went well with his topic. I think his he used too many words in his info and i also think it was a little disorganized.

Blog Post for Tuesday, March 7: Photo Editing Reflection
be funky photo editor
pic monkey
I only used 2 different sites and were very happy with both. i used picmonkey.com and befunky.com. both were very user friendly and let you edit and save pictures. although i liked befunky better. although both were good i found befunky a little bit easier to navigate. also I thought you could do more on befunky than you could on picmonkey.

2/9 - Kids These Days
Kids these day are so lazy. All they do is sit around on their butts in front of a television or phones, neither of which I know how to work. They're gonna go blind. If they were to become paralyzed they wouldn't even know it because they don't move as it is. Back in my day we didn't have any of these fancy devices. We actually went outside and saw the world with our own eyes. Not through a screen. They expect everything to be handed to them in life which doesn't work. You have to work to become successful in life.
