Waiting In line


One of the things I hate most in life is waiting in line. Waiting to get food, waiting to get into a movie, waiting to get over an hour to ride a roller coaster for 2 minutes. The design of the long waiting line is efficient in a sense. It keeps people organized and in order so that things make be taken care have in a timely and efficient fashion. But, the thing I hate most about waiting in line is the actual waiting. Im waiting more time in the line than I am in actually completing the task that I was actually waiting in line for. Within the human psych people get anxiety and wanted to get things started. At the theme park Walt Disney world, they actually employ more than 75 industrial engineers to make sure that people are having fun while they wait in line. They do psychological studies of people in order to keep them happy in line

Digital Penguin

In the movie “Surfs Up” digital penguins are used to bring the story to life. CGI has been in advancement for many years and in this movie it has taken a stride forward by making these penguins very anthropomorphic. These lively penguins have become very life like and like humans. Giving these penguins feelings and emotions that people would have. That is the advancement of CGI. CGI has been in use by many of our top favorite filmmaking companies such as Pixar, DreamWorks, and Walt Disney. Now with the technology getting more and more advanced we are now able to map our own physical movements and project it onto the screen. This action of motion capturing is being used to make our top films in this day and age. In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest actor Bill Nighy plays Davey Jones. However, Bill Nighy never actually appears in the movie, his voice and body languages were both placed in the movie with the use of motion capture. This gives the CGI created monster a more believable and human like performance given by the actor.

Cell phones.


I really hate my cell phone. I know touch screens are the way of the future or what not, but personally i think thats a load crap. I mean, seriously. Why would i want a phone in which the screen works when it wants to. I know your supposed to calibrate it and stuff, but its lame when you have to calibrate it every freaking time. I just want a phone made with all buttons that works. Not this stick as many things on the touch screen as possible. junk touch screens. I mean, i dont want to sound like a debbie downer or anything, but seriously its lame. We need to make a comeback for the buttons.

Snapple!


I found my new favorite drink. Snapple. It's all natural and good for the body and soul. It's naturally flavored Snapple Apple. The design of the bottle of course is what really caught my eye. The simplistic glass bottle design is brilliant. There is a small s embedded into the glass of the snapple bottle giving it a little bit of flavor. Personally, i enjoy this glass bottle design over most plastic bottles. I think the glass bottle should make a comeback. Always fun and clean to drink out of. Also, you can smash the bottle when you're done. Fun and entertainment all packed into one delicious beverage.
