The week before the week before the week of spring break.

This past week in computer programming we were given one last day in class to work on project 02. It was interesting experience and quite different from the first project in the aspect that it was much more useful than an Angry Birds prototype. It was a demographic like project that had us making bar graphs. Luckily Mr. Stephens gave s most of the code for the outline of the bar graph. All we had to do was create the bars, write formulas to create the data, and get user input. Of course we also had to write comments as well. The last two days of the week we got to mess around with a robot known as the Finch. The programming was quite simple as it was just Python and it seemed like a much more in depth version of Jeroo. But it was a really nice break form the long labs that we normally do. Hopefully we do more of it in the future and hopefully the Finch's designers will come up with a wireless receiver as well.

Kapil out.

BYE BYE BLOG

Hey, 0 followers

This is the final blog. The lastest blog.

To make this super special, I compiled all of my blogs to form one super-mega blog.

Blog 1: Facebook's New Layout

http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/26/facebook-ipad-app-to-launch-at-ios-5-and-iphone-5-event/

Facebook. Everyday its changing day by day, and every guy knows 

that if they are going to be awesome, they gotta change too. 

Blog 2: Don't Be Surprised When You See Your Neighbor Driving This

http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/concept_cars/lamborghini_estoque_concept.html

Every dude has a great car, but some dudes can't afford to buy a Ferrari. Lamborghini has 

brought this concept car to possibly bring cheap cars to the market.

Blog 3: 5 Manly Tips From Freddie Mercury

http://jerzygirl45.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/rip-freddie-mercury/

Freddie Mercury left a legacy to live life with no regrets. He believed in doing anything

he wanted without being insecure about it. He is an inspiration to all dudes.

Blog 4: The Tables are Turned

http://www.clker.com/clipart-turntable-music-player.html

Every guy needs something to do in their free time and turntabling
is a manly viable option.

Blog 5: That Funky Monki

http://www.homorazzi.com/article/brass-monki-customized-sneakers-superhero-shoes-batman-robin-green-lantern-captain-america-mario-bros/

Shoes have never gotten as cool as this. Brass Monki shoes are
a must-have for the guy with 30 pairs of shoes in his closet.

Blog 6: Superheroes

http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/theflash.html

Real men read comic books. Without these men in tights,

who knows where our society would be?

Blog 7: You say you want a Revolution

http://www.livemusicguide.com/blog/columns/14-cover-songs-that-are-better-than-the-original.html

The Fab Four are commonly known as "The most influential band

in history". If The Beatles were never here, the pop music you listen to (Hopefully

not Justin Bieber) would be completely different if it wasn't for them.

Blog 8: Like a Boss

http://www.gq.com/entertainment/humor/201105/lonely-island-style-interview 

Comedy group "The Lonely Island" have rocked the world with their 

super-catchy, expletive-filled, and not to mention hilarious songs. 

I guess that's why I'm on a boat like a motherlover, wearing my turtleneck

and chain, busting out my boombox.

Blog 9: "Dude"

http://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-dude-abides-christian-broadbent.html

Everyone's a dude. 'Nuff said. 

Once again - 

Never, ever, ever stop being a dude.

The dude abides,

"Dude"

What is a dude? Is it a term for a radical young man? Is it a slang word for "male"? Is it Jeff Lebowski?
Nope. Its all three. In fact, dude is the essence of manliness found in everything, young, old, short, tall, smart, dumb, strong, weak, alive, sassy, rich, poor, shy, lame, odd, beautiful, gifted, inedible, brave, ugly, plain, fancy, dirty, fat, skinny, barbarous, clean, red, orange, yellow, blue, gray, brown, green, purple, black, white, pink, blue-green, picky, lazy, dead, repulsive, scary, mysterious, even feminine.

However, there is major ignorance when deciding who and what is a dude. Because one guy is dark, tan, and handsome, he is called a dude. However the awkward geeky guy isn't. This is a serious case of "dudicial" prejudice.

So, to all of you ignorant people, prepared to have your minds blown.

The Dude is a dude.

It is without a doubt that these things are just a tiny, tiny amount of dudes in the universe. I hope you see now that everything holds an essence of dude. Wherever things exist, dude exists within them. In the circle of life, there is the circle of dude. Everything comes and goes, but just like time, dude is infinite. 

Also, just like the last three words of that last sentence, Duuuuude! Magazine is infinite. Although Ezine is coming to an end (not to mention this is my final blog post), Duuuuude! will always be around. 

EDIT: Just kidding, this is my second to last blog post.

Never stop being a dude,

Like a Boss

Comedy hip-hop group The Lonely Island (consisting of Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, and Andy Samberg) has taken the world by storm. With several viral videos like "I'm on a Boat" and "Boombox", the group is famous for their expletive-filled songs about normal everyday things (and some not so normal)

The Lonely Island is most notable for parodying several music like Electro, R&B, and even 70's pop. They also have done several compilations with other famous artists like Justin Timberlake (Motherlover) and Nicki Minaj (The Creep).

The group first got its start when the three made short comedy skits and music parodies in junior high school. The hobby soon developed into a career when writing portions of the 2005 MTV Movie Awards. They were soon brought to Saturday Night Live as writers and actors. Doing the same kind of videotaped shorts they made before, the trio soon developed what would be known as the SNL Digital Shorts. They finally hit huge success with their song "Lazy Sunday" and began producing several hits. The group also did a film called "Hot Rod" in addition to the music videos they made. With two albums selling millions of copies, we can bet their next album is going to be even better than before.

Slash's Blog on Manliness

 Lesson number 6:

 A Man can play... the guitar

_

 

Who doesn't want to be a rock star?

         There is of course different reasons one may take up the act of playing the guitar. I would say that the top reasons would be for the women,the dream,or just to be a rock legend. Slash of course knows all these things as he has them all. Slash originally the lead guitarist from the immortal legends of rock Guns N Roses band is still the number one rock  guitarist ever to play a note. His signature guitar is of course the Gibson Les Paul since he started playing in bands and continues to play. He has his own partnership chain of music shops known as Guitar centers that are now sprawled across america that help guitarist greatly. The shops offer repairs, instruments of all kinds(mainly guitars) and amps.He has managed to stay quite modern, as his most famous moments has long since passed in todays new is old world. After he left Guns N Roses he continued to play the songs in concert that everybody loves like( Sweet Child O Mine, Welcome to the Jungle etc). He is a great inspiration for all inspiring new guitarist and any other musician respects his reputation.You know a great musician when you wonder what the  world would be without them and there music.

Mehul's Feature Lead

In an explosion of sound, the five musicians begin their jam session.

Lead guitarist Tyler Watts takes his cue and begins to solo.

With fingers sliding up and down the neck, he syncopates the notes to the beats of the drums as well as harmonizing with the trumpet, keyboard, and bass.

            “It’s the freedom of expression,” he says.

“You can listen to people play and sometimes you don’t know if it’s good or bad because it’s just jazz.”

            Tyler is a jazz musician currently playing in the band “Trading Fives”. In addition, he works as a guitar teacher at the Clavier-Werke music school.
