Content is king

-I have a passion for legend of zelda, specifically twilight princes. Best game ever.

-Many in this field blog to tell how to get through problem areas in the game. This helps everyone get acheivements and find easter eggs.

-I could see my self blogging about ceramics because I could easily post pictures of my new works and videos of myself throwing.

Metric system

(l) distance - m
(t) time - s
(m) mass - kg
(a) area - m^2
(v) velocity - m/s
(rho) density - kg/mg^3
(g) gravity - m/s^2
(F) force - kgm/s^2
(E) energy -kgm^2/s^2
(P) power - kgm^2/s^3

Tennis Ball

-The first directions for the tennis ball challenge was for everyone to pass the ball (the only requirement was to touch it).

Originally, we had all our hands cupped and one guy touched all of our hands really fast. The other team beat us so we had to come up with another idea. We had everyone put there hands vertically in a star shape and one person dropped the ball so that we all touched it. Each one of us contributed to the design, saying what immediately came to mind. This open forum was a good way to generate ideas quickly and easily improve on others thoughts.

-After the requirements were made stricter, that the ball had to literally be passed between each person, we made a ramp with our hands and the ball rolled down it.
The other team did basically the same thing, but we made ours especially steep therefore winning the challenge. :)

-I would do it over pretty much the same because we did win the challenge (yay!). I might try to practice each thing more so that we can do it faster.

-To make the game more difficult, one could make positioning requirements for where people have to be.

I.E. three people have to be lying down or you must be in a square.

Survival

-The goal of this exercise was to order a number of items by the amount of value they had to you if you were lost at sea. In this activity, I choose water as the most important thing to bring along with you. I thought that this was the obvious choice being that a human can only survive for 3 days with out water. Next I choose a fishing kit because I thought that it could get you food, but looking back I now understand that I should have choosen the canned food over it because there is no guarantee that you will catch any fish. I choose the maps of the Pacific last because we are supposed to be in the Atlantic.

-When I compared my choices to my team we had very similar choices. Water for all of us was the top choice and the rest were in a very close range to each other. One that was radically different was chocolate. My team mates put it much higher than I did. I think that I was stuck on the health aspects of the food rather than the fact that you need food to survive.

For the most part our lists were very similar and if there was a difference then we would go with whatever was ranked the highest for the majority.

-The coast guard made some interesting choices. They were quite different from what I choose. He put the water as number 3 and the mirror at number 1. I was suprised that water wasn't first, though I did understand his reasoning that you could use the mirror to signal. Furthermore, he put the mosquito netting as last. I put it slightly higher up because I thought you could burn it or use it for fishing.

-I put more weight on experiencial data. This is because I trust the experience more than simply knowledge. If someone experienced something, they would understand it better than someone who just studied it.
