Extended Weekend

I didn't do a whole lot last weekend because I was kind of sick for a few days. The only thing I really did that involved any of the arts was I watched and played a lot of basketball. I also had to draw some images to remember vocabulary words for homework. That wasn't very fun, but it did involve art. I don't really have an interesting story, but one interesting thing I did was I played frisbee golf in the snow at my dad's house. It was very cold and hard to play in the snow but it was fun.

-a prezi is a web-based application that is used to tell stories using a single canvas instead of slides.

-a prezi is just a bunch of random facts and informaition scattered around the page and a powerpoint is more even and balanced.

1.create your structure first and worry about details later
2.make sections bigger then needed
3.choose color scheme well and early

Think fast

I wasn't really on my feet but one time our smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night. I had to think fast because I didn't know what to do and I was still half asleep when the alarm woke me up. At first I thought it was the alarm on my phone but then realized it was 1:00 a.m. and it was the smoke alarm. After I had finally woken up, we spent 30 minutes looking for a fire but it turned out to be just a low battery or something like that in the smoke alarm. I can't really remember much else because I was half asleep and it was a few months ago when this happened.

Christmas Break

We were at my grandparents house my uncle got a new smile detecting camera and was taking pictures of my family with the auto-smile-detection. Then he started recording us with the camera making crazy faces and doing stupid stuff trying to make it detect a smile and take a picture, but none of us knew he was recording and now we have a 5 minute video of my familiy acting crazy. I think my uncle almost had a heart attack from laughing so hard when he watched the full video on his HD T.V. It was almost too funny to explain.
