Powerpoint

Today we learned how to make a sweet presentation using powerpoint. I did learn a few new things so I guess it was worth my time....

I don't have any questions.

Adam's Presentation:

The noises are very distracting and loud.
Spelling is wrong.
Figures are blurry.
Text is hard to see against the background.
Figures overlay each other.
Animations are lame.
Offensive slide about old people.
Bad mission joke.
Gave excuses for bad presenting skills.
Presenting with a soccer shirt, very professional indeed.
Figures are distorted.

Favorite Class So Far

Today we learned how to make a poster in illustrator. Just for fun I was making this:



I have no frustrations. I thought making a poster was a lot more difficult.

My favorite class so far has been Geology 230 of course. Hehe.

Where have I lived?

Today we learned how to use the eraser, scissor, and knife tools. We also learned how to use guides and gradients.

No frustrations here.

Where have I lived?

I lived in Green River, Utah for 18 years, Northern Peru for 2 years, and Utah County for almost 4 years.

Illustrating Cross Sections

Today we learned how to make a cross section using illustrator. We used the divide tool, pen tool, and eyedropper tool. We also learned how to use the transparency tool to blend things together.

No frustrations here, hopefully I'll be able to duplicate this when I need to.

Freebee. Shouldn't it be spelled freebie? Well, according to blogger it should. I don't know that I would like to have a "freebee." Bees don't seem to like me, in fact, I got stung by one on the first week of 210 and it really hurt. Well, I don't have class right now like I usually have, so I'll go continue the 100's of pages that were assigned by Doc to read.

Halloween

Today we learned how to make a strat column by using the pen tool, lithologic swatches and the divide tool. It was pretty sweet and would have come in handy in my previous geology courses.

I don't have any frustrations today, it was awesome.

What are my Halloween plans tonight? Well, my wife is in Denver so I'll probably watch some really scary movies by myself and freak myself out and not go to sleep. I'll probably have to call her at 2am so she can calm me down. I can't wait.

Today we went over the layers palette. We also learned how to group objects together. We learned how to use swatches and also learned how to use the lithologic swatches which was pretty dang cool.

Today it was hard for me to duplicate what Nicole was doing. It usually isn't hard but for some reason I couldn't follow along.

My favorite Halloween costume would have to be when I was Alfalfa from the Little Rascals. I think it was my favorite because I won a prize for most creative or cutest or something like that.

The Future

Today we started to learn about Adobe Illustrator. First we looked at some bad and decent figures. Then we learned some basic function in illustrator.

I don't really have any frustrations. I just hope to be able to know how to use illustrator better after this.

What would I like to know about the future?

Well, I would like to know where the stock market will be in 5-10 years. It would be great, if I had the money, to be able to invest in some stocks that are down right now knowing that they would skyrocket later on.
