Rubik's 360

A Rubik’s Cube was spotted on your dusty old shelf crammed with your parents’ dusty beloved books--don’t pretend like you didn’t see it with your peripheral vision--so you gave it a go. The countless finger-breaking, brain-grinding, eye-melting hours spent to just group six colours into their individual side, is the most satisfying feeling ever. This is what happened to me three years ago, and that last satisfying ‘U prime’ which lead to the first completion of a Rubik’s Cube, just made it “ma thang”. There was a great amount of time put into that same Rubik’s Cube afterwards, and my new goal was to get faster at it. While breaking through my limits, I realized that I have been able to think beyond the standards during class. I could do certain…

experience or memories. This is done through “q-memory”, which according to Parfit it is a “new concept for which this is not a logical truth.”(Perry, 358) According to Parfit we can only remember our own experiences this being a logical truth, but if the two resulting people have q-memories about the original person’s life this does not precisely mean that they are the original person. “I am not sure whether it was I who heard it, or the original person.” (Perry, 359) This implies that even if…

In chapter 14 of Leadership, Giuliani states, “Organize around a purpose” (299). He uses the example of founding the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) to demonstrate this lesson. After the depressing death of Elisa IIzquierdo, a little girl who died because she was living in an unsafe and abusive home, Giuliani knew he had to reform the Child Welfare Administration and had Howard Wilson investigate how to improve it. Wilson decided the best way was to make CWA its own administration,…

Millions of Americans struggle financially every year, and a good majority of Americans persevere, as Chris did, and end up meeting their goals and provide for their family as best they can. Muccino also incorporates symbolism in order to allow the audience to understand the theme even more clearly. The Rubik 's Cube represents Chris’s complex levels of determination and his will to find a solution. One morning as Chris and his son are eating breakfast, the news comes on and the news reporter is…

He told me that his name was Robert. He told me that I didn’t know him but he knew me. After that, he told me who he was. He was a Taxi driver.

Robert saw my parents getting murdered by those two murderers. After seeing this, Robert went towards my parents and my father who was barely alive gave a sac to Robert to hand it over to me.…

My idea for this assignment is to use the “Architectural Origami” technique to show the relationship between the 2D & 3D patterns that appeared on the corner between two walls at the stairs way close to the first floor. The “Architectural Origami” technique is a technique that uses cutting and folding of a piece of paper to create the Architectural forms. The basic pattern that I used in this assignment are cuboid and cube. For the 3D patterns, I used a 22’’*30’’ Bristol board to make a…

RGM Reflection My Rube Goldberg Machine is the PROTOTYPE-SR213. It accomplishes the simple task of lifting a cup. When I started brainstorming about the project, I wondered what I could do and how I could do it. When I finally came up with one idea, it was already time to make up two more ideas to pass the EDP. In the building stage, after I already chose what design I wanted to build, I made a bunch of changes. For one, I got rid of the part in the middle where a toy car rolled down a…

Ever since I can remember video games have always been my escape. On my ninth birthday I received my xbox 360 and since that day I have never look back. With my xbox I have made memories and friendships that will last life a life time. Although some believe things in life are either good or bad, it can be seen through Xbox that things are both good and bad, but it’s the proportion between good and bad that matters, this can be seen through new games, finishing games, and new systems that proves…

We gave examples of people who bypassed the security system of the PS3 and Xbox 360. However, the ways that the hacking is done is more complex than just creating a homebrew program or using ‘mod’. When it comes to hacking, there are two ways to hack a console. A person can either do a software attack or a physical attack (Eric DeBusschere). Software attacks are when a person takes advantage of a hole in the console or a third party, that manufactured games with a security problem. Until 2011,…

Metal Gear Survive replaces stealth with survival in what is the first Metal Gear game without the involvement of director Hideo Kojima. Although Survive is the first entry in the Metal Gear series without Kojima’s influence, it isn’t the first spin-off. Released only five years ago on the PS3, XBox 360 and PC; Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance took the Metal Gear series in a completely different direction. Replacing stealth with hack and slash action mayhem, surprisingly, Rising worked. The…
