The Revolution Will Be Televised

I think that facebook and cameras helped them us witness the regime. They both helped them communicate with the outside world.


Facebook was used in the support of the protest because people wanted to connect with people around the world.


Cameras were used in the protest to show people what was going on there and to let other people know what happened.

Desk Organizer

For this project, we designed a desk organizer. Some constraints that we had with the desk organizer was that we had to not let it attach to the desk, it could not exceed a 6" depth, 12" width, and a 10" height. It must include a recessed area, and a bent plastic part with a 3/4" thick base. The last constraints was that it had to have hold six items and it had to have five different perts to it. We chose to do the desk organizer because it seemed like the most fun one to do and it seemed to be the most interesting to us. For the first step, we defined the problem, which I stated earlier. Next, we brainstormed some ideas and came up with the best one that we could think of. For the fourth step, we used the constraints to help shape our desk organizer so that we knew what not to do.

For this desk organizer, which is called Captain Desk Organizer, it is the best one that we have. It maintains all of the requirements needed and is the best organized.

The above desk organizer, the rectangular desk organizer, does not have 5 different parts or a recessed area. It does maintain the needed size and it does not attach to the desk.


The above desk organizer, the square desk organizer, does not hold a minimum of 5 different parts and its base of more than 3/4" thick. It does meet all of the other standards though.

For the matrix, desk #1 was the best desk organizer that we had. It held up all of the requirements needed and it got a perfect score of 30/30. For the desk #2, it did not turn out as well as we wanted it to because all of the requirements weren't met. It only got a 14/30. Desk #3 was a little better than 2 because it mostly met the requirements except for a couple. It got a score of 21/30.


This is our quality brochure for the desk organizer.

Carnival Splendor

A cruise ship was sailing around in Mexico and the ship endured a fire in the aft engine room that disabled its six diesel electric engines. I am not exactly sure how they are repairing the ship, but I know that they are receiving shipments of bagged fertilizer, wind energy equipment and other things that they need for the ship. The impact had a pretty big effect on the local economy for many reasons. I think the greatest one would be travel because some people are flying here to go on a cruise and since the cruise ship is cancelling so many trips, that is going to cost people a lot of money. Plus, a lot of money is going to be spent on the ship which maybe will cause a lot of taxpayers some more money.

Content is King

One thing that I have a great passion for would be baseball. I have been playing it ever since i was 4, and I have loved it ever since. Pitcher Curt Schilling really helps inform people about how his career in the MLB has shaped him in the outside world and he also gives a lot of good tips about baseball. I think that I would be great about blogging about baseball because I know a lot about the game.

Tennis Ball Game

Our challenge for the tennis ball game was that everyone had to touch the ball as fast as possible. Our team came up with putting everyones hands in the middle and one person touched everyones hands while they were holding the ball. Our plan worked out really well because our team finished the challenge first. I would do the exact same thing unless there were different constraints that we had to go by. What I would do different would be coming up with even faster ways to have the ball touch everyones hand.
