Sorry for the crappy quality.. I was using a old video camera that only shot at 4:3 aspect ratio and is a point and shoot. Anyways.. I bought the Sandisk Extreme because it was faster.. more reliable and all more rugged. I have found the card to be very fast over my Transcend card. However.. I have ran into issues with the card not always working in my camera and some how Sandisk said they were reliable.. that doesn’t seem reliable to me.. now doesn’t it? So I might be switching to a Lexar Pro card.. even though it is slightly slow than the Sandisk.. it may work better with the D7000 than the Sandisk. I’m not sure why these Sandisk Extremes doesn’t want to work with D7000′s.. I guess they just don’t like them. But the reason why I wanted a new memory card is because the transcend card is very slow at transferring the images camera to the computer. The Sandisk was super fast. I also got it because it was more rugged as I tend to drop these little buggers a lot. So I will probably be sending it back to B&H to get a replacement OR get a Lexar Pro.

This was a HCI course assignment. The goal of the assignment was to implement a human computer interface. I thought this project would be a good way to help students easily absorb and understand some of the concepts of projectile motion in physics. One of the key concepts in engineering and physics is that of using approximation equations or empirical formulas because they are simple and easy to solve. However, these equations only apply in limited cases. It is when you understand when to apply which equations that you become an expert in your field (at least one of the qualifications). Unfortunately, integrating this understanding into one’s mind takes years. ========== BACKGROUND ========== A large portion of our learning comes from learning by example. Examples in engineering and physics can be in the form of experiments, homework, work projects, or interaction with the physical realm around you. Again, unfortunately, three of the four types of examples are far from trivial, quick or simple to carry out. Although interaction with the physical realm can be quick, much of the time only minimal amount of information is gained. This is due to several reasons we discuss below. —– Experiments Experiments take a long time to carry out, and if the experiment is for class, many times you are more concerned about doing the experiment correctly (following the steps) instead of stepping back to see what you are actually accomplishing. Not only that but experiments can take a …

www.learningdslrvideo.com For the past few months my wife as been complaining how slow her computer has become. Her computer is a laptop that we have doc’ed to a keyboard and monitor and when we are on vacation we take it with us. On vacations she has always complained about the keyboard not working well so I headed to Costco before our last vacation to pickup a new laptop for her. The main requirement was for it was to have a good keyboard since I knew anything new would be fast enough for her web usage. She ended up picking the Acer Aspire 5560-Sb653 which was pretty much the cheapest laptop there at $480. I was kind of hoping that she would have picked a higher-end model with an I7 processor, more RAM and an NVidia card so I could create videos of our vacations from the laptop. So I was really surprised when I put Premiere Pro CS5.5 on it and I was able to make a few videos with it on the road. You can’t scrub through the video with the laptop and occasionally after 45 minutes of editing it would crash, but I actually made 4 videos with it so far. Before it would crash I could sense it slowing down and I would reboot. It is running: Windows 7 64bit AMD Quad-Core A6-3400M AMD Radeon HD 6520G 6 GB DDR3 Memory 500 GB HDD 15.6″ HD LED LCD screen Tilt of the screen, this part sucks, if you move your head 5 degrees off axis the contrast can change so much you really need to pay attention how you are looking at the screen. I tried Sony Vegas Pro 11 which just came out a …
