Traits

We did a project on people's physical traits. As it turns out, most people do not have freckles; as a majority. Hair colors were mainly brown and blonde. Most people were more than happy to share their information and reveal to you other peoples information. I received at least 4 of my people form just copying them from someone else.  It was an interesting project that allowed me to learn more about the class as a majority and as individuals. The project was very rewarding and taught me about how to use the multi page and paste data feature in Excel.

M&M Project

The project went fine. I am quite happy it is over however. The M&M's looked delicious, and they were. In the project we counted M&M's and sorted them into an excel spreadsheet. We then counted other people's M&M's and entered them as well. We also had to make a pie chart that showed how many of each kind of M&M we have. We had to average all of the M&M's as well. It was terrible up until we got to eat the M&M's, and now I am thirsty. All in all however the project could have been more fun if excel didn't give error messages or wasn't so sensitive to minor details.

Expectations...

I think this tech class will be interesting and will hopefully provide a further education in Macintosh computers. I have been around computers since I was little, we had a mac when I was about 2 until around when I was 8. We then got another mac that eventually broke after being hit several times out of rage. This whole time my dad had a laptop that he used for general things and gaming. He also had a tower that he used to run the home server and to do intensive or long-term tasks. He later gave that computer to me and it now resides in my room running Ubuntu Linux. We currently have a top-of-the-line supercomputer custom built by my dad with the latest parts (from the summer) and is running Windows 7. We also have a XPS Dell running Windows 7. My Mac-book runs both OSX 10.6.8 and Ubuntu Linux 10.04.
