"Geomathing"
After getting a quick introduction to sketchup, I wanted to incorporate something with arches and circles. Behold my 'geomathing' It's about as useful as a paper weight, but given it's relative size it could definitely be a piece of artwork found outside a modern art museum. I started off wanting to make either a jungle jim or a 3D maze with arches. That got extremely difficult given my lack of experience with sketchup.
Lab 8!
Had some initial problems with the second part of lab eight but I was eventually able to work through the kinks and get it to work
Project Proposal
It's Vacation time.... again! Although spring break has recently just ended I'd like to create a map of the locations I have visited in the Caribbean. I was tore in between this and a few other ideas I had, but since I have pictures from previous vacations, I thought this would be a pretty good project to undertake. I've already played with flash a little bit and have created some basic components of my scene. I've visited Miami, The Bahamas, Cozumel, and Aruba.
I'd like to have a graphic of a plane flying around the map and have it "fly" from location to location as the user interacts with the map. I'd also like the user to be able to click on these four separate caribbean locations and have new scenes pop up with map representations of these locations and points within these maps filled with photos I've taken of places I've visited. I was even thinking of incorporating splash screens of these vacation hot spots highlighting some of their most famous attractions and maybe a brief history overview of their tourism and/or country history.
Lab 6!
This lab was a breeze!... After prof. Hallden helped me figure out what my problems with lab 5 were
Lab 5... finally!
Finally have it all figured out in flash! For some reason the actions wouldn't play when I converted my buttons from the common library to button symbols... strange...

(2/12) Interactive Lion Population Map With Timeline
For this weeks blog post I decided to find an interactive population map regarding the declining population of lions (rather than find another standard dot density map detailing human population). This map is courtesy of National Geographic.The map is complete with a sliding bar as the timeline that you can move or simply play. The map also displays the declining count of total lions worldwide as time progress further into the present day. Along with these features, you can also click on photos that are embedded in the map that give you further details abou the waning lion population.
