With a full and justifiable purpose to take my Math final today, I decided to head off to school about an hour before the final started. Luckily, the parking lots are unusually empty for some unknown reason. I found a parking spot and went to the cafeteria/lounge where I could go over some notes with the usual math crowd that hangs around there. Well… Mark, who usually sits behind me was there, but looked curiously at me. I gave him a curious glare right back at him. He explained to me that the final was not today (er…), but was rather on Thursday at the same time. I looked through my notes, noting the sever lack of dating, only to realize he was right. So I went back home.
Doing nothing particularly useful, I found an interesting site… Apparently this guy makes armor for various things. As my favorite aunt noted, this would be an excellent Christmas present for the dogs, Linus and Rigby. With this, their barks would actually mean something.
I finally received my “Google Tips and Tricks Assignment” from my computer science class today. Boy, she really does love Google. Be sure to note all of the spelling and punctuation errors–in addition to the general n00bishness (”!!!!”). She (Jackie) also lacks consistency, which can be seen in the erratic use of the bold. Does bold text denote a topic sentence, search query, nothing at all, or indicated action? (see questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively). Let’s take a closer look at each question.
1. Yes, we all know Google likes keeping information about us in their database.
2. ”1 EURO (ideally EUR) in USD” is not the example that I would have chosen for the calculator demonstration. A better example would be: “5*3″ or some general arithmetic.
3. The bold text bothers me. It’s always useful to know what 1 US Quart is equivalent to in US Fluid Ounces in a computer science class…
4. Again, the bold text bothers me. ”vaporware”. Well this is good; at least we are taking a step toward software.
5. Apart from the lack of bold text, ”switched”. ”Switched” is a term that someone in kindergarten (or equivalent brain ability) would use–and it’s not even correct! Then notice the period after ”maps.google.com”. If you thought it couldn’t get any worse for a college professor, she uses the word ”pan” incorrectly as well. ”Pan” is used to describe the rotation of a camera long the vertical axis. The proper word to use would be “zoom”, or some synonym of “zoom”.
6. I don’t ”switch” back to anything when I type something into the address bar. And why is “Select images” in bold text? ”Barak Obama” is misspelled. And why is this question relevant?
Oh, and another thing: it’s out of 15 points, right? Notice how many questions there are and observe the grading rubric.
Yesterday, Dad went to China town in Los Angeles and brought back a bottle of passion juice. It reads:
“The sap is condensed from fresh and pure passion fruit.As passion fruit is rich in fragrance which is the best beverage refined from pure sugar and guaranteed on artificial pigment.
Drinking method is as follows: please pour six times of ice water or hot boiled water and its flavor is excellent.
The juice is pure.Any sign of separation does not affect the quality.Just shake and drink.
Ingredients:Pure passion juice,sugar.
HONORABLY PRODUCED BY YUN CHENG Co.,LTD.”
Wow. The writer managed to spell everything correctly, but what he makes up in spelling he loses doubly in grammar. It is important to note that this product was “HONORABLY PRODUCED”
