Thanksgiving Plans

Today, I got the first opportunity to see how arc map can create 3d environments. Besides tracing my mylar scan, I was able to download a topographic data map and create a virtual world, JUST LIKE A VIDEO GAME! WOW! It was good to peek into the advanced technology involved in 3d environment creation.

I have no questions in my mind at this moment of time in space.

My Vacation is almost here! just hours away I can relax and enjoy the thanksgiving break. Sadly enough though, when I return the following monday, I will have an enormous amount of work due in calculus, geology 230, minerology, and chemistry. So really this vacation has a false name, it's not a vacation if we have to do work, its a slave period. Actually I have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'll just say that for thanksgiving I will not take a vacation, but after our small road trip, I will work, and be studious as an A+ geek.

I learned about Arc GIS and how to trace lines on my mylar tracing. I cant stand this program, It is so NOT user-friendly. I hope to master it soon. I better study for the test its coming up really fast!

No Questions

I start listening to Christmas Music right after haloween. I like to get in the X-mas spirit 2 months ahead of time. I LOVE CHRISTMAS

Nice Book

Today I learned how to georeference a mylar traced picture to an actual sattelite image. Awesome. But one thing, the program is terrible

Question: How do I reference the 2 points I clicked once on my scanned image, but the when I clicked on the sattelite image my point doesn't associate itself with the first point. CONFUSING

I have not read a good book in so long, that I dont even remember what that last book I read was. sorry. :)

Monday's Notes

I learned all about ARC GIS. Arc GIS Geographic Information Systemis awesome, I can find information about maps at "maps.utah.gov" or "seamless.usgs.gov". I should use arc catalog for easy access and in my tools menu, I learned I can find Coordinatin points ( Lat long +xy ). Also i learned about Pyramids, to improve Performance. Mylar sheets are nice to draw on, (on the blunt side).

I have no questions.

My favorite place to eat is Bangkok Grill by state street. It is the most delicious scrumptious and outrageously delicious thai restaurant in the world!!!

Powerpoint Notes

Powerpoint is really cool, I learned about how I could see all open projects at the same time,

I have no questions

THIS IS ADAMS CRITIQUE ON HIS TERRIBLE POWERPOINT
TERRIBLE LOUD SOUNDS, Not Centered, Corny Clip Art, Bad English, Misspelling, Titles are not Consistent, Theme is different, I cant CRITIQUE Im laughing so hard!!!!, Pictures are terrible, I have not idea what he is talking about, pictures overlap, huge text graphics are terrible, is this talking about strollers or something? sounds not consistent, I cant even read the text, ADAM THIS IS HORRRRIBBLE, Triple Y? what Ending is rediculous

TOTAL POINTS ON REDICULOUSNESS 10/10
POINTS FOR CLARITY, EFFECTIVENESS 0/10!!!

Favorite Class So Far.

Today, Illistrator proved most useful when learning how I can adjust canvas size while I have it open to a set width and height. It will be interesting how my poster turns out. Many details are required for a poster to really pop out at you.

I have no questions

My favorite Class so far was Chemistry in High School with Mr. Page. He allways seemed to blow stuff up and put holes in the wall ect. This was back when I enjoyed Chemistry, now that I am in CHEM 106 I dislike it greatly. WE love Blowing things up!

Places where I have Lived

Today I thought the coolest thing was learning about mirroring an image.  Holding alt and clicking a second time makes a copy of whatever image you are seeking to mirror.  I made an ant, shrunk it mirrored, it, copied, it and after replicating it 8 or so times, It looked like I had an entire colony marching down my screen with like 275 ants.

I have no questions.

This is a detailed list of where I have lived.

• BIRTH, 10 yrs childhood, SALT LAKE CITY
• 10 - 19 years old, Saint George UT.
• 19 - 19 Peru
• 19 - 20 Provo UT
• 20 - 22 Atlanta Georgia, serving in Gainesville, Conyers, Athens, Lawrenceville, and Roswell
• Back to Saint George
• 23 Provo UT and Got Married
• Summer 08 Tampa Florida for 2 weeks
• Back to Provo till present.  (we also visited Thailand)

Yes on Prop 8!

This is for Monday's Post. It was cool to learn about the pen tool, and how intersecting lines can be divided into separate blocks. Also the eyedropper tool was of interest, because I never realized how incredibly useful it can be.

I have no questions

I hope Proposition 8 Passes. The scriptures state that when the MAJORITY of the people choose wickedness, then are they ripening for destruction. I can see this evident in California. I think it is amazing how close the vote really is. If we were living in a more righteous society, the vote would be in the 98% yes on 8 and 2% no range. This vote is clear that almost the majority of people are choosing legalized gay marriage. if this is passed, then we are just one more step down the moral ladder.
