Samsung Galaxy S IV
The Galaxy S IV is finally here. But is it really any different? The screen went from 4.8-inches on the S III to a full 5-inches on the S IV, but it actually feels smaller. At 5.46 inches tall, 2.75 wide, and 0.31 thick, it's slightly narrower and thinner than the S III, and just 0.08 inches taller. It's also 0.9 ounces lighter at 4.6 ounces. It's the same basic shape as the S III, though it's a little bit more rectangular.

The F-22 Raptor is a fighter jet that is displayed at air shows. It is know to be very fast, but also very dangerous. Many of these planes end up crashing and making a huge mess. They crash because of either a pilot who does not know the limits of the plane, or there are mechanical problems. Here is a picture from the Melbourne Air Show from Sunday on the F-22, it is being used like a rocket during the vertical climb.

Back in Time

If I could go back in time, I would go to game six of the 1986 World Series. I would want to go to see Bill Buckner miss the ground ball that let the Mets win the game, and give them a chance for a game seven (where they won). I would be going crazy along with the other 60,000 fans. I would not change anything about that game. Everything was perfect.

The Playstation 4

The Playstation 4 was just announced on Tuesday. It has been seven years since the PS3 came out, so the PS4 is long awaited. Everything looks much better, but it will be the same as the PS3. The PS4, arriving in stores "Holiday 2013," is still very much a PC in terms of guts: an x86 processor, an 8-core combined CPU/GPU, and 8 GB of unified GDDR5 memory.

Do Now 2/19

I would make my class a History of Sports class. I would make the class available at any time of the day. The students would learn about the history of all kinds of sports and gain knowledge about each sport. I would hold it in a classroom dedicated to sport legends. It would have a crowd in the background that makes noise when you move by it. It would feel like you were in a stadium or arena. The students would  do reports on their favorite players and then at the end of the year, do a report on a sport they never knew anything about.

What I Did Over the Weekend

Over the weekend, I went snowboarding. There was a lot of snow so I took advantage of it. On Saturday, I went with my friends. On Sunday I went with my brothers to Mountain Creek. Here is a link to Mountain Creek's website. I also had a party for my birthday on Sunday. I had a great weekend.
