The good and bad thing about Scratch is that its overly simple. Its good while you're learning but once you have it down its pretty boring. My game was good because it was challenging but possible and it was barely more complex than if i made it as simple as possible. I don't like that i used the premade scratch artwork. I would make a puzzle game next time.

Broadcasting is sending a signal out for anyone or anything to receive. Broadcast signals are first sent out. Then the recipients receive that signal and perform an action.

I was very satisfied with my site. The only thing I would have done differently would be using a different photo display widget. I don't like the look or interface of lightbox but it was the easiest to set up. I liked making the template and the design aspect of the site. I didn't like the content part of the site as much. I was never frustrated throughout the process.

There are a few pieces of technology I would like as a gift. I'd like a Samsung smart watch, mostly because I wouldn't spend my own money on one. I'd like a Contour Roam2 to go with my Contour+. I could use a S4 Active but my phone is still functioning. I want a touchscreen monitor because Windows 8.1 would be way cooler with a touchscreen and it would be nice to have two monitors. I'd also like some nice speakers and headphones.

The part of my current computing set up at home that drives me insane is my WiFi connection. Some days its fine but most of the time it randomly disconnects me. I think its because we have 10 devices connected to 1 airport and i'm generally the farthest from the airport. Another thing that drives me insane is my phone. It is becoming slower and slower no matter what i do.

There is a French company, Optinvent, is trying to compete with Google Glass. Its display is directly in front of the users view, compared to Google Glass's display above the users line of sight. It runs on Android but the voice control isn't as good at google currently. They have recently announced that they will have the display on a hinge that allows the user to switch between "glance mode" and "augmented reality mode". They want to make it much smaller than it currently is.
