Design Project

1. We went to the evl but there are no residents there so we could only ask the employees. Most of them didn't play the game,the ones hat did liked the idea, but thought the game was to fragile and worried the catapult was going to break.
2. We couldn't get a picture because the catapult broke and they stole the ball, so they threw the game a week ago.
3. Our goals were to make it just the right difficulty and adjustable so it would be firm. We met our second goal but it was to hard.
4. The biggest problem we encountered was either balancing and supporting the board, or making the catapult  so it was resiliant and usable at the same time
5. When we found a way to make the catapult stay in a place, and make it shoot long enough. However  this design did not work to well on a larger scale.
6. I resisted the most because I wanted to keep it simple, Alejandro and Daniel wanted it to be more complicated.
7. The biggest doubt was the we wouldn't be able to finish on time because Daniel missed half the class and Alejandro didn't come to class but we were able to finish.
8. I was the devil advocate because I always questioned if we should do something wether it helped us in the end or not.
9. Without teamwork we wouldn't have been able to finish. The design process was easier but slower than I thought it would be. I learned i always question everything to see if it really should go on the design.

Day #3

We are going to follow ore descriptions from day one as this game was very fun especially to guys and we don't think were going to drop anything from the design.
The most powerful ideas is the catapult because it is our center piece
our game is perfect as it, right now it is very simple
first we need to make the hoops
then we glue the hoops on a backboard
then we make the catapult 
the game is ready
i will bring a ball
alejandro will bring the hoops 
daniel will bring the catapult

My photo

Alejandro show perspective creative title
wheels were hard to make which was bad.
Daniel: his show different point of view which was good
doesn't show how the game is going to work
Me: i showed how the system should be for the catapult.
It was poorly drawn as i have no drawing skills.

Stixy

http://www.stixy.com/

Stixy is site where you sing in and you can make a plan for whatever you want.

Somethings I like:
1: You can put in dpcuments so if you're having a proyect you can put it in no having to copy paste. and the you can export out when ever you want.
2:Also I like that you can put the calendar and put details so if you're planning a party or anything like it, this site is great for planning it.
3: The best part is that you can put photos so if you can show how it should look.

Thing I don't like:
1 The site doesnt have a video or anything at the beggening so you have by yourself
2 It doesn't allow you to put videos

Two ways you can use the tool;

Viruses

I know that a virus is something that messes up your computer.

I want to know what it does to the comoputer and how you can elimnate it.

http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/v/f/virus_def.htm

Viruses vary from what they can do for ex from an anoying message to deleting your hardive
Viruses can be attched to a program or eveb replace the program
You can get them in an email attachment or in an insttant message.
They are ussually disguised as funny photos or greeting cards.
Viruses are not trojan horses
The diffrence is the trojan horse doesn't replicate itslef like the virus does
Its called a virus because its spreads very fast like the virus and duplicate also like the virus
Trojans can also be addtions of the virus that don't replicate
Whe you download a virus a adware or spyware could come with it

This connects to my life because I'm always on the computer wether it facebook or school stuff. Now I know that I need to check to mkae sure the files i downoad don't have a virus. Also I should buy an anti virus software incase I do get a virus.

Who created the virus.
