This link is pretty cool. I guess I chose this site, because. . It's quite entertaining.
I would like to learn how to create one like this. Pretty interesting.

This one is cool too. Seems very creative, maybe. I'd like to learn this as well.

NASA Space Exploration

There are two missions that are required for the Microsoft BLIINK contest.
One of them is to design a web site for NASA. The other mission is to communicate how the International Space Station benefits all people.
For mission one, your goal is to create introductory Web pages for the ISS, which is the International Space Station, and to inspire other students to become certified flight controllers. For mission two, you are to pick one of the topics that are given, and explain why that source is dependent, and tell everyone about it.

1) Why would anyone be interested in viewing the Web site that your team is developing?
2) Who are the possible customers for the site?
3) How many pages are going to be necessary to complete the Web site your client wants?
4) Based on the number of pages, what sort of navigational structure would work well for the site?
5) How can this design be shown using a site map and storyboard?

1) Our topic is that why the ISS improved the human race. Anyone should be interested on what ISS did for the human race.
2) I would say everyone is welcome, but maybe people who have interests towards the "Space Station", and NASA, stuff like that.
3) ....Maybe 2-5 pages.
4) Maybe a flash program, including photoshop.
5) Mission that you are working on: 2

Flash CS3 – Concepts and Terms.

1) What type of file can be modified in Flash CS3? (just list the file ending)

2) What is the national standard for American television video broadcast?

3) What part of the Flash interface displays the movie you are working on?

4) You need to turn these on BEFORE you can use guides.

5) What is the gray area surrounding the Stage in Flash CS3?

6) What is the magnetic pull of objects to a grid? (this grid can be turned on/off)

7) What is the default frame rate for Web playback in Flash CS3?

8) What is exporting your final Flash CS3 file called?

9) Designing for the Web is normally measured in what unit of measure?

10) What are palettes in Flash CS3 called?

Answers:
1) An FLA file is the raw editible file in Flash design, .fla

2) The U.S. Video Standard is NTSC (National Television System Committee).

3) The stage displays the movie you are currently working on.

4) Right click on the "graphic" label and select "Add Motion Guide" from the pop-up window.

5) The work area surrounds the stage.

6) The objects snap to the grid set up by Flash. Snap to grid.

7) 12 fps is the default framerate. (Frames per second, FPS)

8) The final file type is SWF. Also publishing is the answer to that.

9) The web is measured in pixels per inch.

10) Flash uses panels instead of palettes, so panels.

HOCUS-FOCUS

1) Antenna is different.

2) Dog is farther.

3) Hat is different

4) Bus stop sign is different.

5) The jacket is different.

6) There is a poster on the tree.

Six differences is how much I discovered.

Well I spotted five of them, but I only had a few seconds.

HOCUS-FOCUS

One difference: Top picture to bottom: Mom has stripes or some sort of design on her shirt.

Two differences: Top to bottom: The plant looking thing disappears.

Third difference: Top to bottom: In the far left where the child is, something above his head disappears.

Fourth difference: Top to bottom: The father seems to not have the item he had on the top picture.

Fifth difference: Top to bottom: The kids hat is
different than the top picture.

Sixth difference: Top to bottom: The watermelon looks different, where the kid's hand is.

How would this activity help you as an HTML programmer?
-Well.. I would say to help you analyze data more carefully.

How many differences did you discover?
-I suppose six differences.

Do you see these differences once they were pointed out to you?
-... I'm pretty sure I did.

A thank you note to Mr. Kelly Bennett from the Art Institute of Houston

"Thank you"

Thank you for your presentations.
It was quite interesting to see photography, culinary arts, video and sound production, animation, and many more you presented.
It was very unique to see, and was worth seeing.
