Oh happy day!

Right now, you would think I would be at at school, learning.
But, I am my Dad's office, because it is Bring Your Kid To Work Day!
But I am still learning things.

When we parked at the Cleveland Clinic, where my Dad works, we went to his office, and got ready for an research experiment. It has to do with Second Life.
Second Life is a Multi User Virtual Environment. That means that lots of people have accounts on Second Life, and it is on the computer. Second Life is like a game without any story, meaning, that U could do whatever U want!

So as I was saying, the research question was, "Could Medical Students Learn How To Interview Patients from Second Life?".
How they did it was, that the part playing the patient was actually a doctor, and the medical student was playing the part of the doctor. The 2 were in different rooms, and chatted through headphones. It's hard to explain, but if U want to know more, make an account on Second Life!

After that, my dad worked on the computer, while I got to spend time with a graphic designer! He showed me some REALLY cool things!
Like how to change what a button says on the internet, and how to make things glow, and the other things stay the same, so that U can make one thing stick out!
It's REALLY awesome, and I can't wait until I try it at home!

After that, I ate lunch, and went on the computer to write a new post on my blog, which I am doing right now!
Soon, it will be time for me to go to school for the rest of the day.
Then go home, and get ready for soccer pratice.

See ya' later!

Crazy weekends anyone?

I had the most CRAZIEST weekend EVER!

I had to get up at 8 in the morning on Saturday-
- can U BELIEVE waking up at 8:00 on SATURDAY? -
And get ready for this, I had drive ALL the way to Lodi, which is ONE WHOLE HOUR away from my house. I was SOOOOOOOOOOO tired!
Then I played OK on the soccer field, which is why we had to do all this, go to Lodi to play soccer.
After that wasn't SO bad.
I got to watch a movie with my friend, then I went to Taco Bell for lunch.
But get this, at 3 o'clock, I had to go ALL the way back to Lodi soccer fields, for AGAIN, I had to play another game. But I played good this time. I guess I was cranky before.
I got home at 6PM.
I basically spent a WHOLE day there!

Then, the next day, I had to wake up at SEVEN! SEVEN IN THE MORNING!
Can U believe THAT?
Then I had to go ALL the way to Lodi, for ANOTHER game, and WE LOST!
So we didn't get to go to the semi finals, or the finals.
I had to wake up at SEVEN to lose a game, and drive ALL the way back home.

Top THIS crazy weekend!

Bees and Butterflies!

Hi!
I made a game from sratch. What I mean is I used a program called SCRATCH, to make the game I am going to show you.

Scratch was developed by MIT, to help kids learn how to do programing.
It's really fun and easy to learn!

You can see the game below, click on the image to go to the game.



Let me know if you like the game. What do you think of the ending?
