Fuzzy Logic...?


"
Fuzzy logic is a revolutionary approach to computer programming that mimics the way the human brain thinks and solves problems", or in other words... a computer programing made to "impersonate" a persons mind about how it thinks, and solves problems. Some advances to Fuzzy logic would be that it's cheaper. I think fuzzy logic is kind of confusing, and I'm not really sure what it is,exactly. I'm not really sure if it will "affect" my life at all, but for a lot of people around the world, it probably will.

Family...My family

So,...a family is, or can be made-up of people that love you and care about you a lot. I think your family can be your friends, or relatives, but not just anyone con be it. In my family, there aren't A LOT of people, but then again, i don't know them all. I only know the family from my mom's side . I have a grandma, three cousins, a mom, and three aunts, that live here in the US anyway. So, what is my family like? It really depends on the person.
My grandma is really nice, and is her goal to make everyone happy. My mom is kind a mean at times, and...yeah. She's always cold, not her attitude, she's just cold. My aunts are alright. They're actually fun most of the time, and they take me out to places. One of them does my hair and make-up, another is always concerned about how I am doing, and another one talks to me about anything, but most of all, they tell me to never, ever have kids. From two of these aunts of mine, came three of my cousins. Two boys, one girl. One of them, male, is 15, his brother is 10, and the youngest is 9. I get along pretty well with them, since they like to basically do the same things I like to do. We play soccer, video games, watch movies, and we like to be kids.

You can say my family has "different generations",...well, technically, we do. "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities". What do I think this means? Well, I think it means families go through a lot of things, and it can be rough, but through those things we all grow together, and make our family bigger in a way, it's kind a hard to explain, but yeah.

BattleOfTheBands/BandBash Documentary pt6

Well...today Mr. Hinman was playing our projects, and a few of them didn't work, including ours. How depressing. Lisa keeps blaming herself...but she's a "bleh" for it. It's not like it's her fault, well anyway, it didn't want to play because we have to put it on another CD, a CDR. Well,what "i learned" about our project was that people have many different opinions about music. I thought that a lot of people I know like the kind of music I like, but they don't. Some students have dreams/goals, but never seem to put them to life, but I learned that people actually can accomplish their dreams, no matter how crazy it might seem, like being a "rock star". From other presentations in class, I learned what that one game actually was, I forgot the name of it though, from Jeff's & Billy's presentation. From Lijah's and Anthony's presentation, I learned what the Wii game system looked like, and what the slight differences a PS2 & PS3 has. Well, that's all I learned so far, and yeah.

BattleOfTheBands/BandBash Documentary pt 5

Well, we had spring break last week, which wasn't so easy to deal with. Not everyone was available on the same days...only on Friday, so we tried to finish up our project. Darren brought his computer to Lisa's house, where we all met, and Lisa had all the footage and whatnot. We worked for about 5hrs over all that day, but the computer didn't want to download the footage onto the computer...for quiet a while. We plugged in the USB connection to Darren's computer, then Lisa's, and tried to find a way to make it work, but it didn't. About an hour or so later, we looked through the camera's menu, and found out that the USB stream was turned off...so we turned it on, and imported the footage,...or at least tried. On the program we were using, we needed Lisa's dad's password to be able to edit it, but unfortunately for us, he didn't want to give it to us by phone, so Lisa had to wait 'till he got back from work...at 6pm. Did I mention Lisa's dad didn't know Darren was a guy, and didn't want one in his house...so he had to leave early. A couple of days later, we met back at Lisa's house again, and finished editing it, and explaining things in out documentary, like who the bands were and whatnot. We added...interesting music, and put some things we edited out, way off topic, into the credits too. Another hard thing was dealing with Lisa's computer, it kept freezing, so we had to be turning it off, and back on again, which took a while. Well, the good thing is that we are done...i think/hope we did a good job...even though our video went pass the time limit required...(oops).
