Project 1: Magical Scientific Field Invention Machine

This was my first project and I wasn't exactly sure what was expected. I had always had this idea of taking prefixes and fields of study and combining them to make new, weird scientific fields. I think it stemmed from my inability to decide what to major in. I went through 3 colleges in my first two years and wound up in RTF, which I'm very happy with. I liked this project because it was pretty simple, but effective in combining humor and science.
(The reason this is not on the ACTLab server is because it requires PHP and MySQL databases and I was told that ACTLab didn't have this.)

Project 2: EKG Machine

This project didn't turn out as I expected it to. I built an EKG machine basically from scratch, which was a great learning experience for me. I learned how to solder and many other things regarding electronics. The overall idea of the project didn't pan out as I wanted it to. The goal of the project was to make it all internet-capable. I wanted people to be able to better express their excitement or lack thereof on-line. Unfortunately, I could not get a small part of the project to work which made the Internet part unavailable. So although I learned a ton, this project was my least favorite.

Project 3: A New Proposal for a Struggling Ad Industry

I liked this project because it is so cynical. I studied advertising for a year and learned to hate everything about it. Ads are everywhere nowadays and there is no escaping them, so i made a project that poked fun at how intrusive the industry can be. The sad part was that the further I progressed with this project, the less crazy it sounded. Now it seems that this could happen, because if you see any futuristic movie like The Minority Report, you see ads EVERYWHERE. So maybe this project isn't so funny, but I still like it. I also learned some Photoshop techniques that I hadn't really thought of before. Overall, I wish I could have worked more on this project and made a working prototype, but it was too hard.
