Don't Breathe This In

A video I enjoy watching is Will it Blend. This videos are to display the power of the Blender created by Blendtec. Some of the things they blend are hard, other are easy. One of the cool things they blended was glock sticks, it was like a lantern it was so bright. He has a line that he says after everything he blends and opens the blender so smoke or dust comes out and he says, "Don't breathe this in." Here are some of the cooler videos.

Blogs

Darren's most recent blog was about "one of the most fascinating things ever, Paperbags." He told the stories of paperbags and how they help us carry around things. Another blog I thought was interesting was Renzo's which was about doomswheels. Doomwheels is a sport which involves a kite and wheels attached to your feet. While doing this people have gotten up to fifty miles per hour, this sport got popular doing the 1990's. Tj's blog was about something that alot of young people are into, video games and their graphics. He thought that they were "the most important thing while buying a game." He also said that "I can say that aleast 3 people in my 5th period class play video games on the computer and don't do there work in class!" I will leave you to decide who those three people are. Fuads blog was about the Giants game in Philadelphia. "Sadly the giants lost 8-5." Barry Bonds homered again bringing his homerun count up to 744. Angelinas post was about a cheerleading websites that not only helps the cheerleaders but the coaches as well.

Emotional Mapping

Christian Nold gave volunteers the thing that is used on lie detector. He asked them to walk around the city and when they returned he asked them what they saw and how they felt when their blood pressure raised or when their heartbeat quickened. One responded to someone stomping on a pigeon, another a house that reminded them of flowers at a funeral, and another that saw a security guard passing out candy to little kids thinking that he wanted one. By doing this is mapping how the surroundings effect peoples emotion, hence the name emotional mapping. I think this is a good idea because some people may want to go on vacation at places but if they see that it causes weird emotion`s maybe they won't go there.

Earth Day is a day when you are supposed to not do things that your normally do such as walk instead of drive, or use public transit instead of a car. You should do these things because you may think it doesnt effect you but it will effect the enviornment and future generations.
