Using siri

      Siri is the newest thing in technology, no that new since its been around for a few weeks since the release of the iPhone  4S. Its amazing how you can do a lot of voice commands that make your life easier throughout your day.  It can do things like change the temperature in your house, but using a plethora of different devices. And for certain cars it lets you use it integrated bluetooth. It can also turn on tour t.v. and change channels, with the help of a proxy and a few parts. Your house can run on voice commands. I wish my house were like that. "Turn on the shower" or the dishwahser, some of the things that i'll be saying someday.

Mj Quote

A special entry from today of myself and Jose Hernandez will be sharing our thoughts in the Micheal Jordan "failure" quote. We believe this quote is very inspiring and relates to any person. It very strong quote that can make you realize that by not accomplishing something at the 1st try that its not over. In fact it means that you need to have the courage and try again , even harder this time until you accomplish that goal. In our life's  this quote makes tell us that we always need to try our best and never put ourselves down but me aggressive towards or goals. This quote also means to me that every human being is not perfect and that we all have weaknesses and strengths. This quote to us motivates us in everyday life. When were doing things sometimes we wont do it right the 1st time but we remember this quote and it remind us that we all have the potential as human beings to be the best at what we do. We picked this quote because shows how one person does so much and  gives it so much and even with failing he still manages to overcome it and become successful. Even when everyone trust you at the end day you are what you do. Finals thoughts on mj quote is that to be GREAT their will always be obstacles to overcome but you need to be strong and for willing to be successful.


"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
~ Michael Jordan

Excel

      Theres a lot I learned from excel but the biggest thing I learned is how to write equations and solve math problems on excel. It was hard but I got the hang of it and now I could do it . I wouldn't use excel in my daily life because it takes time and not everything needs to be done using excel. When I need it for a project or something, then I will use it. What I don't like about it is when you have to put things in the squares and it takes a lot of steps to do a simple thing. Whats cool about it is that you could solve math without having to do anything but press a button. I wanna learn more on how to put info into charts and if theres shortcuts you can take.

Net neutrality

I dont think that internet providers should charge us for every little thing we do on the internet. Every website should be the same in speed, new, old or popular. There should be free internet, and no site should have to pay the internet provider to put them  at the top. Other sites and apps need to have same opportunities to grow like other popular sites like google, yahoo and facebook. There needs to be a net neutrality before websites start charging to view them or networks have a tax for messanging or use a search engine. People work all the time to give us internet and stuff like that but theres still need to be neutrality and because we want to be able to download and be online without the internet provider charging us for that.

Architecture

Architects design all kinds of buildings.  First they have to think about what the building will be used for. How many people are going to use the building at the same time? What types of activities will these people do in the building?  and the building has to keep people safe from disasters.   They need to have some kind of artistic  and computer skills. About 5 year bachelor degree. Their salary depends where you live. In California its about $42,551-$100,158.  During the time between graduation and becoming licensed, architecture school graduates  work in the field under the supervision of a licensed architect who takes legal responsibility for all work. Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture,  training or internship and a passing score on the  Architect Registration Examination to qualify for state license.

Nike Air Mag being auctioned on eBay

 The article is about Nike releasing the Nike mag. You might remember them from Back to the Future. They dont auto lace like in the movie. Only 1,500 were made and were also being auctioned off on eBay. Proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research. They kept it looking sort of similar to the original from the movie with lights on them. 
I thought it was cool for them to make those shoes because they look good in the movie and once I saw them I knew I wanted ones. We all want shoes that tie by themselfs but these cant. Atleast you could show them off. It be worth having some.

The internet of things

What it means to me is that its a website where you can see anything you want but that are things you use all the time.It would be ok because it would help people find things where ever they are. If you loose something youll be able to locate where it is, even if its stolen. It would also be bad because some things should be left where ever it is and people would be able to locate your stuff. If a friend borrows your stuff you could keep a check on it and take care of it through  your computer. I am for it because anyone can save some time by using it to look for their things on the internet and where ever you are using your phone.
