The price of almost all Superbowl ads are about 3 million dollars for a 30-second airtime. In my opinion it is very worth the price because millions of people watch the Superbowl, some people mainly for the advertisements. Most of the time the companies make back 200% of what they put into advertisement. I liked the VW commercial because it was very humorous. Next year I would like to see some new companies advertise in during the Superbowl.

3.1.2 Flow Charting
1. Flow charting is like following a map because you have to follow it, step by step, to reach the final endpoint or goal.
2. Waking up
3.1.1 Inputs and Outputs
5. Unchecked, 0, not present
6. Checked, 1, present
7. It would have opposite reactions
9. 43 to 5000
11. 1521
12. 1360
14. Switching the wires into the opposite positions.
15. When the reed switch touches the electromagnet it gives out power.
16. Normally closed.
18. The light shining means the photo resister is closed.
19. More resistance = more light
20. Reverse the program.
21. Having it normal then it will be utilized .

1. Examine the wire diagram on the mini switch and describe how the diagram relates to the concepts of normally open and normally closed.
The normally closed side of the mini switch makes it so that the switch completes the circuit at all times, making it a closed circuit. ___ _ ___
The normally open part of the switch makes it so that you must press the switch to close the circuit. __ / __
2. If computers only understand digital signals, then how is a computer able to interpret the analog signals coming from the interface?
Computers use the simulations of the analog inputs to produce digital signals to approximate their analog counterparts.
3. Why does resistance decrease as the NTC Resistor becomes warmer?
As the NTC Resistor gets warmer, the current will be increasing. To keep the same voltage, the resistance must decrease.

Content Is King
1. Baseball is a hobby I cherish and love doing whenever I'm able.
2. If you look at any Major League baseball team they have a blog about themselves.
i.e. http://www.southsidesox.com/
3. I aspire to be some type of engineer when I'm older and I believe if all the engineers pooled all their ideas it would make for a much better system of innovation.

Taking on the Seven Seas
Today, we were given 15 items to decide between in order to help us survive the seven seas. Little did we know we would be trapped out there forever... O_o
Nahhhh j/k, were all safe. The list of fifteen is as follows along with the ranking our team gave them:
1) WATER!!! easily the most essential to life.
2) Army rations, also very important to surviving.
3) Mirror, so i can flash a boat in the distance.
The main thing to surviving the 7 seas is how long you can stay alive for. And with these essential items, you would have the best possible chance for success.
UNITS!
l (distance) - m
t (time) - s
m (mass) - kg
a (area) - m^2
v (velocity) - m/s
p (density) - kg/m^3
g (gravity - m/s^2
F (force) - kg m/s^2
E (energy) - m kgm/s^2
P (power) - kgm^2/s^3
t (time) - s
m (mass) - kg
a (area) - m^2
v (velocity) - m/s
p (density) - kg/m^3
g (gravity - m/s^2
F (force) - kg m/s^2
E (energy) - m kgm/s^2
P (power) - kgm^2/s^3

Tennis Ball Game
This game was specifically designed as a team building activity. The principal of the game was to have the tennis ball touch every team member before shooting your hands in the air and yelling "engineering"!
My team beat the other team because our design was vastly superior. Our first idea to move the ball from person to person involved a zigzag type motion where the ball touched every persons' hand only once and every other hand was either face up or face down. We then since modified the idea to a staircase meathod, where as the ball just uses gravity to move around the circle.
If you can view the image I incorperated that was the basic concept of how we moved the ball from person to person. The only other way I could see it being faster was to maybe have the ball touch less fingers. Gravity is the key factor to controling the speed the ball can travel.
