Ahhh, school is over for now!
Today was the last presentation/project for the fall quarter. I'm glad it's over, this flash project was the most time consuming and frustrating project out of all the class I took. For Flash grade wise, I think I did ok. I completed all my homework and projects on time. The only thing is that I wish I knew where I stood in grades throughout the quarter in Flash. I think the fact that my teacher is also a student makes things hard too. He conducted a great class no doubt, but I could see that classes he was taking was wearing him down quick. So, I'm not too bummed about him not updating the grades. He runs a pretty relaxed standard for the most part, so i'm not worried I guess.
There was only 3 projects for the quarter. The first one was to build a banner ad (non-animated) within a set guideline as well as start to finish in class (2.5 hours-ish). We had 3 options to do the ad on, Seattle aquarium, NW trek, and Woodland park zoo. I chose NW trek for my project, and it was horrible I though. No real design to it, just some stick figure-ish drawings and slapped it together.
Second project was to build on the project and animate it. Now my original project sucked and now I had to animate it. I did what I could with it and it still sucked but it fulfilled the requirements. I know for a fact that these 2 project are getting scrapped.
Last project, this one still had 3 options, a holiday animated card, animation to a song, or animation to poem. Initially I was going toward a christmas animated card but things changed a few days after deciding on what to do for the project.
During my Illustrator class we had a project on packaging, I had already started to go with an action figure vinyl toy that is customizable. It was modeled after Kid Robot's "Munny" dolls. I took the idea and turned it in to a ninja character and designed a box for it. While working on this project my classmate Nic saw what I was doing and needed a subject to package. I happened to have a few more templates of different characters and I gave him one of them. Nic was also in my flash class and needed a final project idea and said "I should use this for my flash project! We should do a battle scene." This was a great idea, we bounced idea off each other and the "Ninja VS Assassin" series was born. LOL!
I know it is not that good but it was fun and frustrating to build, but giving the presentation in class and getting a good crowd response was well worth it...

Borderlands
So last night I got the urge to do a little "glitching" on Borderlands the current game i've been playing. I found a You Tube video on how to do this and after a few tries I got it to work. Maxed out all the stats and now I lost all the checkpoints and progression that took A LONG time to get to. I'm so mad, but it was my own fault. So I have an awesome USELESS character. Gotta start all over.

Web Design Comp Round 1
Today for Web Design class we have to turn in our comps for a client web site that we designed. I got a pretty hard one and I hate it. I have no idea what this company is about. It starts out with a short back story, something about secret military or something like that. In fact...........
Company Name: Takagi Foundation (New York City Branch) Information: The Company was founded in 1971. The founders of the company wanted to prove to the people that there is a capitalist company who is more concerned for their employees and everyone else in the country. In 1995 the Foundation established a Defense Unit (a CIA security/military type group) whose sole purpose is to make sure the company and all the employees and their families are protected and well cared for. The company was close to losing face and the trust of the rest of the world when rivalry companies tried to smear the Founders hard work. This was how the Defense Unit was born. The U.S. Government is keeping a close eye on the Defense Unit and even has a few Pentagon officials working in the company to have the government be more comfortable and understand that the Foundation is not trying to over throw the government. The New York City branch focuses more on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and charity funds. The New York City branch is also the headquarter of the Foundation. Each branch of the Foundation has their own main focus/specialty.
What do you think? Makes no sense to me.

Flash Dummies!
Date: 10/26/09 10:44am (Monday)
Today we were working on adding sounds to our existing flash file that we made last week. There are the "chosen" few that still don't get it. This is beginning to piss me the FUCK off! These "chosen" few don't have the basic computer skills to be in this class, or any computer oriented class for that matter. They like to hold up the class every few minutes. Now, I understand not knowing something during the first week of class but to be in the 4th week and still not know the basic functions is unacceptable. This not only disrupts my learning but holding the class as a whole by having to stop every few minutes to help these people. I believe if you are having a hard time, definitely do some practice at home. Get used to using the function ON YOUR OWN and not only in class.

F5 or F+5?
Ok, today in Flash 1 class, the teacher says to "stretch your frame" (i think?). Anyway he said "The easiest way to do it is to hit F5" then some lady say F5 or the "F" key and the "5" key at the same time or the "F5" key. Ok, now I can see this as being a legitimate question but there is no way anything will happen if you hit the "F" key and the "5" key at the same time. I mean seriously, c'mon!

Moo-ski!
About a week ago while browsing the pet store for some treats for Kona a lady walked in with brown/brindle french bulldog. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. I asked the lady if we could pet it and she agreed, it was so playful and hyper that almost hung itself with it's leash. After talking to this lady about the dog it seemed a little out of the price range that I would spend for a dog ($1500-$2000 pure breed). My wife just loved this little dog and hinted that we should get one, now mind you we currently own a cat, dog, and saltwater fish so we have more than enough pets. As for me I have never owned a dog before I've owned rabbits and that's it, pretty easy pets to tend to. When we got home we googled "French Bulldogs" and the pictures that showed up just pulled on my heartstrings. It was time to get one if we could find one. The wife is currently healing up from surgery on her back so she was able to locate a few for sale. The price range the woman told us at the pet store was true. Although the puppies being sold were from all over Washington we narrowed the search down to the Bellevue area. We contacted to owner and scheduled a meeting time to "JUST LOOK" at the puppy.
So we head overto the owners house and it was a shit hole, an RV sitting in the driveway with people living in it and crap spread out all over the lawn. The inside was worse, I won't go into detail of how piss-infested this place was. But there she was, playing about with her mom. Very agile and physically fit and with a cow pattern that I totally love. After about an hour we took her home with us.
On the drive home, it looked like she was teary eyed for leaving her mother. First we stopped off at PetCo for some puppy necessities. A kennel, puppy food, harness, collar, and pet tag with name "Lani Moo".
Before meeting this dog I was trying to conjure up a name for "Maybe" new pup and cam up with Tonka if its a boy or Lani if it's a girl. The wife liked both name so I was happy, the only thing is she can't pronounce Lani (like Lonnie) but pronounces it like Lanny. But we stuck with the names I chose.
Now if you are from Hawaii you will absolutly know "Lani Moo". She was a famous commercialized dairy cow. You can probably see where this is going. The cow pattern and the girl name I chose before I met her just somehow worked out. So that how this frenchie got her name.
The question is now, "Will Kona accept her?". We'll have to see what happens.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wiebe
I think Steve she be the champion of Donkey Kong. According to what I saw on the movie: King of Kong- Fistful of quarters. Steve traveled to funland and prove to be the 3rd person to ever get to the "Kill Screen" with over 900,000 points. In return Billy Mitchell sent a video tape of "someone"playing Donkey Kong and scoring over 1,000,000 points. I call shenanigans on that.
Billy is a BITCH!!!

So I freaked out today
I'm taking some PC tech classes at Bellevue College this quarter and never had a problem with any of my classmates until today. It has been a long time coming and today was the straw that broke the camel's back. There is a girl in my class that is just not fit for the lessons that are taught in this class, for one she does nothing but damage to the classroom computers and I can also see the teacher getting a little irritated with this girl's classroom performance.
Anyway, for one she never sits in the same seat in class although not required, I think you should be consistent on where you sit. WHY? Well, maybe everyone else does. This just irritates me to no end. On top of that, she does not grasp the concept of PC technology or even shows any initiative to even learn it. She is constantly text messaging and doing other non-relevant things during the lab sessions and ends up being the one that holds up the class because she is unable to keep up. I can understand if you are totally new to this concept of computer technology but at least have some sort willingness to put effort into it.
We work with partners during lab and my partner is a girl and not all that competent when it comes to doing hands on exercises but at least she shows initiative to try. She does well on her although a little slow but gets it right.
My partner and this girl are of Muslim faith and one wears the appropriate attire while the other doesn't. Can you guess which one doesn't? LOL! They conversate to each other in swahili which is pretty neat but I don't like the fact that they do it during lectures. I'm in class to learn and not listen to them talk over the teacher.
After 9 weeks of putting up with this, I finally freaked out on this girl. We had a test today and she didn't do all that well on the quiz before the test. While taking the test today, I heard her whispering to my partner in Swahili which means to me that she's cheating. After 5 minutes of hearing this, I stood up and told her, "Quit fucking trying to cheat" , "I don't want to hear you talking while I'm trying to take my test", "It's not my fault that you fail at life!". Fortunatly I was finishing up my test at that point and slammed my chair against the desk, grabbed my bag and left. The teacher said nothing but smiled LOL!
I'll probably have to meet with the teacher and the girl next week to try and smooth this over. I know for a fact that this is not going to happen, I won't appologize for pointing out the fact of cheating. We'll see what happens~
