the season for water-soaked fun and there's no better way to have a blast than to arm yourself with the daddy of all water guns, the Super Soaker®! With its ability to shoot water farther, faster, and drench your enemies more accurately than earlier squirt guns, it became the ultimate summer fun for kids when it was introduced in 1989. Even big kid Michael Jackson named the Super Soaker as one of his favorites toys. So who invented this summer classic? Lonnie G. Johnson, the same guy who helped…
The project that I chose is called Water Light Graffiti. This is an interactive art instillation that has a moisture-sensitive surface. The instillation is equipped with thousands of LEDs in order to created illuminated art. The LEDs light up when touched by water. Water Light Graffiti is a very interesting and beautiful art instillation. Water plays a crucial part in this instillation. When water touches the “canvass”, it creates an electrical bridge and gives the power for the installation to…

“When you’re up in life, your friends get to know who you are. When you’re down in life, you get to know who your friends are.” -Anonymous. Throughout the entire development of Freak the Mighty, Max and Kevin demonstrate a strong friendship. To illustrate this, they were there for each other in the positive times and the negative times. Therefore, a pleasant friendship accommodates teamwork, trust, and the involvement of having adventures. To begin with, why does trust help compose an…
A loud, long, doleful cry uttered by an animal in distress. A howl. Howls are not limited to beasts that crawl on all fours; humans have been howling for centuries. In times of protest, or in celebration howls emerge from the depths of humanity, capturing and immortalizing the thoughts and beliefs of some of the greatest minds that humanity has to offer. Some three centuries ago, a group of elected delegates, representing the 13 individual British colonies, met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…
What do you think it's like to die. A black nothingness, A heaven and hell to take you, or is it to be reborn as a tree or plant. I almost figured that out myself one day. The day I fell out of a window. It was a cool summer day and I couldn’t stand that I was taking a nap. I was seven at the time and I was told to go take a nap with my sister. We went up stairs, mom turned on the T.V. everything was alright. After about thirty minutes I got bored and couldn’t stand lying in bed and watching…
gospel. If Ryan had said that it was raining cats and dogs outside, he would have ran to the window to witness the phenomenon. “How would you like to invite your friends over for a couple of hours tonight?” “Can they have some pizza too?” “Sure squirt. That is, if you don’t mind helping me out with something too.” “Anything for you Rye.” For the price of a couple of pizzas, Ryan had enlisted a work crew to put the finishing touches on his party plans. Barring an act of God, this would be…
to my stomach and has a dreadful scent that is nauseating. When my brothers who are sixteen years old attempt to do the dishes, I prefer not one person use the dish without washing it again because they are very lazy teenage boy that use one little squirt of dish soap that’s on the scrubby and is going to be used for 10 dishes, which is a problem with how clean the dishes will come out . First of all, the dishes in the dish rack are all greasy because they never rinse out the scrubby when it was…
and bowl to hole” was what my uncle Joe’s said. I’m not too sure if it was in English but that’s what I understood at the time. As the dagger punctured Chester, he let out this nasty, high-pitched squeal. Blood was everywhere, the initial incision squirt of blood landed on my shirt and then on to my foot, but majority of it made it into the bowl. “Move closer, don’t be scared, he won’t hurt you” said my dad. By trusting in him, I move closer. Chester’s blood felt warm as it was dripping down my…
Squish and giggles are the ever enticing sounds of childhood. Luckily my childhood was unexpectedly broadened because I could squeeze buttery mashed potatoes out of my congenitally missing teeth until the age of thirteen. Besides the fact that I looked like a rabid dog exerting unidentified foam from its mouth, no one could take away the enjoyment that comes with being silly. Two percent of the population are missing one or both of the maxillary lateral incisors, the teeth beside the two front…
