Create a drawing with only type.

I tried to make a truck. It didn't work too well. I got a line image on photoshop, then I used symbols to cover the lines as well as I could.

Carry Out An assignment from www.learningtoloveyoumore.com

the assignment that I did was "reread your favorite book from grade 5"

The assignment started off like this: Me trying to find the actual book, because I remembered very few things about it, and definitely not the name. Pretty much the only things I remembered was it was called "Airborne" or something like that, and I thought that the author was Kenneth Oppel, which is why I had a lot of trouble finding it. At first, I googled what I remembered, but with no avail. Then, I made some posts on my favorite forums, and even after more than 30 posts I couldn't find the book I was looking for. I looked on a list of all the books Kenneth Oppel wrote, and although he did write a book called "Airborn", It wasn't the one I was looking for. Determined to find the book that I was looking for, I went to the library and looked through every book they had. After looking for more then 2 hours, of looking at plot summaries and books, I finally found what I was looking for. It was called "Airman", and it was by Eoin Colfer, which Is why I got it confused, because those 2 are my favorite authors. As soon as I found the book, I signed it out, went home, and got myself a lot of apples, and lied down and read the whole thing in 8 hours. It was a very good book, and It was strange realizing how much of I forgot over the 5 years I haven't read it.

Use a piece of open-source software and explain your experience

The piece of open source software that I decided to try was linux, specifically Ubuntu 11.10. The first thing I did was check which partitions were being used by windows, and which weren't, so that I knew which partition to install Ubuntu on. I loaded up the Ubuntu CD and got to the installation menu. I selected which partition to put it on, and I also put the boot loader on the same partition, so that Instead of using grub I could use easyBCD to boot up linux. I entered everything, and it started installing. After it installed, I went back on windows to configure easyBCD. After I got everything working, I rebooted my PC and started up linux. It was working fine, until I realized that my video card was too new and that linux didn't support the drivers for it. I then proceeded to wipe the partition with linux clean and reconfigure easyBCD for 1 operating system.

Use an old piece of technology

Two days back, I used the oldest and most ancient piece of technology of all.... The VCR!!!!

What ended up happening that fateful day is when I was looking for cables in the basement, I came across an ancient relic.... Wondering what it could be, I wiped all the dust off it, to find an antique piece of video playback.. "technology". Completely intrigued by what this obsolete piece of plastic could do, I quickly found some wires(was hard because we only had 1 set that wasn't HDMI), and connected it to my 55' HDTV. I tried putting a bluray into it, but with no avail. DvDs didn't work either. However, I quickly figured that probably the 15 year old cassette cartoons were the ones that this antique could play. I put them in, and with a very relieving "click... whirrr whirr whirr" the cassette was accepted. By the way, I had a laugh at it saying 480P high definition. I watched the entire tom sawyer cartoon in true 480p HD, then decided that I like blu-ray more.
