I have completed the Onshape Course and am now going to take the safety tests. I have started the 3d printing course and the Lazer printing course. My next step would to take the safety tests for the machines. The last thing I want to try to do is find a 3d model for Howard the Alien. The way im going to try and accomplish this is by going to various community pages and find someone who as already made the model and turn it into a .stl file. After that, I want to put it in curia and put it ontop of a little stand with HOWARD on it. I want to put chafes on it and make it into a little statue using grey filament. I'm really excited to learn CAD because of the fact that it may help me in the workplace. And when we make business senior year, I have the perfect research tools and team to help me out with certain aspects of the fulfillment process.

I'm planning on taking the lazer printer safety today but I don't know if I'm going to be able to take it due to the fact that I have to catch up on blogs and work on the website. I'm looking forward to the house joust we are about to do. I'm finally going to see how my team operates under pressure. I hope we win because i'm really looking forward to lazer printing. It seems to be one of the more cooler machines in the lab. I really want to make a good first impression on the teacher so I want to make a perfect print. I DON'T want to burn down the shop by any means. The other things I am looking forward to are the CAD challenges. I really want to be able to learn and master On-shape because I want to become a grand-master. Maybe over the weekend i'll be able to master the easier things and work my way up to the big kahuna.

I have taken the vinyl cutting test and have passed with a 14/15. Mason and I have made a impossible triangle with the machine and I'm ready to start my d-tech career. My plans for when I come in next time is to create something for my jacket because I am going to start turning my jacket into a utility jacket. I believe that because I wear it all the time, I should make some modifications to it and turn into batman. (Or iron man with the electronics.) When I get home and i'm done with homework I'm going to practice CAD and finally do some stuff I want to do. Now I know whats it's like for adults to drown in work (I don't like it.) Some great tings that occurred today were that I got 18 / 22 on Mr. Li's test and I worked super hard to get that score!

I need to take the propaganda tests and achieve journeyman. The rest of my team has already did a-lot of work and I need to catch up. I think water-polo may be getting in the way of my D-tech life and I NEED to get better. I want to achieve mastery in propaganda and I am going to do everything in my power to achieve that. Anyways on a side note, I am getting half way decent grades and I cannot wait to be done with the first quarter. I am getting better grades than some of my friends and I think it is because I thrive in a high difficulty low work-load environment. I think I might start a you-tube channel about how to make different things and I might start thinking about that on the bus. All I know is time flies and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. (Never thought I would ever say that again.)

Today I learned how to use the cannon printer. I passed the safety test and I am now ready to make Howard the Alien shirts. I have made joey the lord de-promoting myself in the process and I cannot wait to get mastery in propaganda. I have been getting into chemistry and I am super excited to do that in the future. I don't know if I see a future in computers however. I need to get on music. I need to make lyrics for my new song or make a better one. My music appreciation has gotten out of hand as well and now I don't think I am capable of making good music anymore. I cannot wait for the weekend. I swear it can never come soon enough :)

Today in D-Tech I printed a minion dabbing with the caption, "She Took The Kids." I also cut out a vinyl sticker of Howard the Alien. I did more today then any other day so far in the lab because I stopped taking safety tests and started using my skills to create the things I wanted to create in the first place. I made a whole bunch of people laugh today and now I think I am ready to achieve mastery in propaganda. I cannot wait to go home and to be honest, I cannot wait to get my butt out of school. I got some stuff to do. Also, I need to write some notes for character development for English. I have a-lot of work to do and I cannot wait until it is all done.

Today we presented our projects to different children and admins. I believe that they loved our projects and my favorite had to be either zens or jacks. Somebody ripped my poster off the wall next to the printer which was a bummer. And I have a C in this class and I need to write as many blog posts as possible so I can change that. I have a-lot going on in other classes so this is really annoying. but hey, as my mom always says, "It is what it is."
11/8/2018
I removed the SSD from a mac and Vedang and I destroyed a part. That's too bad but we got the SSD out. Anyways, my hack-a-thon permission slip NEEDS to be filled out. I'm lacking super heavy on it and it is going to kill me if I don't get it done. I also need to learn how to use python and I need to get work done for other classes. I don't know why life has to be so stressful when we are all going to die anyway.

Today i'm going to look on khan academy because I don't know how to do what is on the quiz tomorrow in math. I want to start the marble project in D-Tech because I believe that it will be fun. Next year i'm going to do AP computer science and learn some JAVA for the second time. Their is another fire happening in Camrillo hope this doesn't turn into the Thomas fire v2. If it does however it wont all be bad, because Ill be able to get out of tomorrows math test :)
11 / 17 /2018
Today we worked on the marble run. We managed to make a ramp and a platform connected to a fidget spinner. Our track insent very long and it is connected with straws, cardboard, and Popsicle sticks. I cannot wait to get to cap and I hope I have enough blogs because I cannot get less than an A in this class. This is because I love d-tech and I cannot wait to continue in this program. Also, I need to start working with On-shape a little more closely. Last but not least, I am going to complete my math homework and go to the studio.

I cannot wait till Friday because I will bring bells and incorporate them in the music JK we got disqualified. It looked pretty good at the start but in the end well, as I always say... That's a wrap. Moral of the story, Just clean up after yourself and keep your head down. Anyways, i'm super excited about electronics and I cannot wait to use the arduino.
11 / 29 / 18
I built a thing that flashes bright led. That was my whole day in d-tech. However I have many things to talk about other than D-tech. Hackathon is coming up Friday and i'm pumped. I made a lung cancer image detection and I cannot wait to show Mr. Miller. Its going to be great (I hope I win).
12 / ? / 2018
It turns out I wine a-lot in the blogs. That's rather unfortunate. Today I have porgrammed the ultra sonic sensor to communicate with the servo so I am one step closer to a trash can where I can throw my life away without giving the effort to open the lid. The only problem is I don't fit :(((((((( <------(Please note that this blog is a joke and nothing else)
Blog 14:

Today I made an automatic trashcan. It is an ultra sonic sensor with an arduino that opens up when you wave your hand in front of it. Other than that, I believe that 3ncrypt is going to make a piano that works by breaking circus to make noises on the adafruit. Anyway, today wasen't bad and I cannot wait until Friday as always. This is blog 14 and I cannot wait until I get my grade in D-Tech to a normal A and my permission slip turned in on Friday.

I started making a synth with joey and it is turning out really good. I have made octaves and I have made a few songs with vedang. I also made a crossbow, but I had to destroy it because Mr. Li said it was crude. Anayway, I cannot wait until finals are over and the solider project is no more. I'm done being stressed out XD.
1 / 16 / 19
I am in Mr. Fitz's room and i'm writing my blog right now. D-Tech is super fun and I wish I didn't have to move from the electronics. I thought of plenty of ideas with potentiometers. I cannot wait to join D-Tech senior year because I want to see what the class holds for me... :))))

Now that we have started making the contraption, We have decided on taping a bunch of sticks together and calling it a day. I have no Idea how it is going to go in the long run... but it better go. It inset really durable, but it can collect water at long distances. I have no Idea how it is going to fit in a car. But I will find a way.
Blog 17
Our house joust has started and I cannot wait to start building the contraptions. I really want to build a hose that pumps water from the ocean and puts the water into a bag. It will be attached to a pool noddle and float in the middle of the ocean collecting water for the bag. I hope it will win and I need to find a contraption that works as a pump.
Blog 19
Our contraption has lost but hey, it was a good run. We still got the machine that we wanted and I cannot wait to use it. My plans are that I am going to take pictures of an original design, and I am going to make it into augmented reality to then sell to different people who want the items. I was going to have it display anime characters and anything else people want. I have started to do presentations, and most of them are going awful. I don't know what is wrong with Joey, but come on man!

Blog 1: Today we started drawing out the idea of the skyscraper. My team and I seem very excited about the whole project and I cannot wait to get started. We are modeling it like the first twin tower and I felt like an architect making the drawings and doing the mathematics associated with the building and design of the skyscraper. I have a feeling that this is going to go very well and I cannot wait to show Mr. Miller how good of a job my house can do with teamwork.

Blog 2: Today we started designing the skyscraper and it is coming along pretty well. We have gotten all the measurements and are ready to start the cutting and printing. I loved doing the math associated with the skyscraper and I wish I had more time at home to do it. I had the idea of creating Ar of buildings and other 3d models. I am really getting into the unique parts of life and my brain is going crazy. I haven't been this happy in a long time.
