Blog Post 3/31

I learned how tedious the spreadsheets can be and how much time it can take to make a good looking spreadsheets. I stopped following the tournament after KU lost because the tournament is rigged. I previously knew how to use Excel or sheets before and this only renewed my knowledge.

TV Series to Watch

One of my favorite TV series is Hawaii Five-0 There are 7 seasons and they are filled with action packed shows. The show is related to NCIS but with better scenery. One of the best parts of the show is that they have full immunity so they can basically do whatever they want, this makes the show go faster and more interesting.

Spring Break

For Spring Break I went to Hawaii with my family. It was really fun, we spend a week in Kauai, and the last day we had a flight that the landing gear didnt work and we landed late so we had to stay in Oahu for a night and we went to Pearl Harbor.

Name of Article: AMD’s Ryzen CPUs are Here to take on Intel

 For years Intel has been seen as the main processing unit for many computers, many people may have never even heard about AMD. AMD is another processor company like Intel but over the past 12 years’ market share between Intel and AMD has gone from 51%-48% to almost 83% of the market share going towards Intel. If you’re into computers though you would know that unlike Intel AMD is mostly used for budget PCs or for their graphics cards. But you probably haven’t even heard about Ryzen unless you’re a PC gamer or enthusiast.

AMD is hoping to catch more of the consumer and business market than what they had before. The problem with this is they don’t have the money that Intel does for advertising. With a low advertising budget, they hope to make some money out of the gaming population. The average pc gamer upgrades parts their parts to their PC to some degree every two years. This means AMD has a big opportunity to sell products. Unfortunately, most PC gamers care about raw power and performance out of their computers, Ryzen CPU’s range from $200-$500 (cheaper than other 8 core CPU's), lower power requirement, and offer high boost clocking. Even with these impressive stats Intel still houses some more powerful CPU’s than these new CPU’s. Another problem is that they assume that people will want to buy a new processor,

My Dream business is a Pheasant farm. It would be located in the middle of two giant fields but close to town somewhat so that I could get publicity.

Kids these days 2-10

All of these kids never go outside and they are all fat and lazy. Also all they do is eat potato chips and drive around in their flying skateboards. I have never seen one of those kids without their phone and if they do go outside they always have some sort of technology with them. Also most of them eat crap all day and get full off of that so they never eat their diner.

Picture Services (photo Edition Reflection)

I used two services pic monkey and Pic Collage. Over all I think Pic monkey is a better tool but it requires you to pay for it actually be useful. If you don't pay you can only use the site for a week and also you cant use all of the services at once. On top of that your pictures are watermarked if you don't pay. Despite these issues the site offers many great editing tools and is fairly easy to use. Pic Collage is a little harder to use than Pic Monkey and also doesn't offer as many services. Lastly when I tried to log on to pic collage today I couldn't get on to the site so it doesn't have the most reliability.

Others Infographic Reflection

Jackson- I really liked the topic which was about cars. It was very informal about leading car companies and top cars.

Clayton- The topic was good putting KU against K-state but the infographic was bad because he only did football and everyone knows that football doesn't matter its basketball. 

Brandon-  Brandon chose a very unique topic, but it was still good. He showed people how to make and infographic with his own infographic. 

Gavin- Gavin chose a very good topic and included nice graphs including one that was very good showing the shots made from different spots. It had nice images and it looked professional. 

Grace- Grace's was very colorful and she chose a interesting topic. I wasn't surprised that most people would rather go to the beach but the infographic was very colorful and looked professional. 

Info-graphic Reflection- For the Infographic project I leaned how to use Pictochart. It was fairly easy to use and easy to make a good looking Infographic. I felt like if I had to make this with word or Photoshop that it would take a lot longer and wouldn't look as good. I could possible use an Infographic at school for a compare and contrast. overall the Infographic was easy and fun to make.
