What is Alice.org???






Alice.org is a downloadable program for windows, mac, or linux. This program is designed to give college or high school students their first look into working on a 3D computer environment. Alice enables the user to model the environment and make the character do actions in the 3D perspective. Below are 3 screenshots of alice.org, the first is of the download page, the second is a gallery showing 2 pictures of how alice can be used, and the third is of the storytelling Alice which is used for creating an interactive story.

Creating my first scratch game










These are a couple of screenshots of me creating my first scratch maze game for my intro to computers class. The first image shows my backgrounds for the stages while the second shows the scripts for the stages. The third image shows the scripts for the first of my sprites while the fourth and final image shows the costumes that are being used for that sprite.


















SCRATCH homework


Here is another sprite I created via the Scratch program from MIT for my intro to computers class.

Scratc Maze




Here is a maze that I created doing scratch and it has a small fish named Bass GX7 that completes it.

Second Questionaire

Just recently created a questionaire on google docs and had a few friends fill it out. Yet another physics questionaire just finding out how much some of my friends know.

Physics survey

Survey:

Take Physics Survey HERE

Above is a survey created to generate the general interest one would have in physics. This is just a general survey so I can view the interests of people in physics.

SKYPE

Above is a Person to Person voice communication program that I use daily.

Digital Blasphemy



This is just a site that I enjoy going to when I get the chance to take a look at some cool pictures for a desktop backrground or just for pictures in general. I've used this site many times over the past couple years, everything from just selecting a background to using these pictures in various assignments and cards. If you enjoy looking at some cool pictures just go to Digital Blasphemy.

Pictures and Blurb

To the left is an image of a cartoon depicting the world holding up a mass amount of people and growing tired that has been distorted with paint.net






















Above ^ is a picture of a cartoon depicting how an arrow is useless without a bow but the bow can still be used without an arrow (an example of commensalism) and this has been distorted through paint.net.




Finally, below is an image from a book found on blurb.com.

Zoho presentation



This is a Zoho presentation we did today during computer science class. It just shows some of the shapes and clip arts you can make using Zoho and some links that I commonly use.

Average rolling style

Below is a link to a new spreadsheet I created that deals with probability and statistics. This spreadsheet shows three different types of rolling methods (3D6 is rolling 3 six sided dice and taking them as they fall, 4D6 best 3 is dropping the lowest rolled die and so on). This spreadsheet displays the rolls for all 6 trials of each of the 3 rolling methods and computes the means along with a graph to show which style is best to use and by how much when wanting to roll higher.

Jousting Physics

Here is a video of screenshots that have to do with jousting. This weekend I went to the Rennaissance faire and thought that jousting would be a cool idea for a slide show because it involves so much physics. Everything from the speed of the horse to the height of the athlete and angle of the lance plays a key role in determining who is the victor.

Fun Games

I recently stumbled upon a site called physicsgames.net that has allowed me to have a little fun with my major. For this week I have created a short instructional video on how to play one of the games. In this video I start by using the tutorial and making a wheel. After the wheel is made I connected it with a "water rod" to make the weels move together and then they were able to move across the screen. Hope you like the vid.

Instructional video for CS1107

Here is a video that I made during my computer science course my sophomore year, it shows camstudio first. After camstudio is a brief look at skype and a conversation I was having with a friend. Finally is a section on how to do some simple drawing using paint.

Computer Sciences 9-14-09

Here are some pictures that I've wrote on for the purpose of a computers science course.













This (^) is a picture detailing a web of related topics to physics.















The above pictures is just something cool I found when I searched physics on Google images.













This last picture is a picture from a game which allows the user to use physics and demonstrate how they work using the computer's program.



Finally here is a video from Youtube that demonstrates how a slaps force travels through someone's face.

Major at BSU

I am currently attending my sophomore year at Bemidji State University, I have not yet declared my major but as of right now it seems I will be attempting to attain a doctoral degree in physics, most likely either molecular or nuclear physics.
