My Family Blog

A family can be anyone that loves you and the people you live with. A pet can also count as a family member. Families can also be people who you know but don't live with. For example, a family can be your cousins who don't live with you. My family consists of my brother, father, mother, uncles, and my aunties. My family is loving and caring. My family is also fun because we go places together. Every adult in my family likes to talk a lot with each other. Overall, I think my family is the best. My family involves a variety of people. Half of my family was born in USA like me and my brother. The other half of my family was born in India and moved to the US. My family is half Indian and half Philipino. My grandparents live with us. They are the first generation before my parents. My brother and cousins are third generation. The quote "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities" means that families are shaped by people. People shape how a family will look like and who will be in it. For example, half of my family is Philipino because my grandfather has a Philipino wife and childrens.

What Is Copyright?

Copyright is a kind of document that protects the work of artists from being reproduced, sold, or distributed. Copyright protects music, literature, movies, audio, web pages, computer software, and art work. Fair use allows people to copy some parts of a copyrighted material but you have to give credit to the author. Since fair use is limited, you need permission from the author to copy material that is not fair use.



On the copyright quiz, I scored six out of ten. I had trouble with the questions that ask about ownership such as " It is necessary to contact the owner of the copyrighted works. The owner of the copyrighted material is the only person who can give you permission to use the work." I thought it was true but it turned out false. Other questions I had trouble with were numbers 1, 2, 4, 9, and 10. Overall, I think I did good on the quiz. To take the quiz, click on the link below

Fuzzy Logic Assignment

Fuzzy Logic is a new generation of technology. Fuzzy Logic acts like a human brain that allows it to think and solve problems like a human mind would. It is better than binary logic because binary logic does not work like a brain would. Using fuzzy logic would make life easier for humans. For example, a microwave that has fuzzy logic will know when the food has become warm enough. It also works for a camcorder, laundry machine, coffe maker, and other machines. Using fuzzy logic is better because it is also cheap.

What Is My Family Like

I think a family can be anyone. It can be the people you love or the people that live with you. A family can even be your pets or people who don't live with you. I think a family can consist of more than thirty people or just two people. My family consists of my dad, mom, younger brother, and I. I also consider my cousins, aunties, and uncles as a part of my family. All of those people are people I know well and care for me. To me, I think my family is normal. My family is kind and cheerful. We go to places together like Nevada, Reno, Korea, Lake Tahoe, and many other places. We get into many fights but that is normal in all families. Sometimes I feel that my family is breaking up. My brother is never home because he joined a sports team. My mom goes to work early in the morning and comes bck at around six o' clock. My dad hangs out with my uncle a lot. There is a variety of people in my family. Some of my uncles are fun and some are not. I have cousins who are annoying and some who I think are "cool". I also have Philipino cousins and aunties. My family has different generations like my grandparents, then my parents, and finally my brother and I. I think the quote, "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities" means that families are shaped from ancestors. The ancestors affect how the family will be shaped like. For example, if my uncle didn't marry my Philipino aunt, I wouldn't have Philipino cousins.

What I Learned By Working On My Project

The project Austin and I worked on was a podcast. It consisted of a few interviews about the best game system. I learned that the Nintendo Wii is the most popular game system. The X Box 360 is the second most popular system before the Playstation 3. The Playstation 3 might not be that popular because it is expensive. People of different age and gender have different thoughts about the best game system. The people who are sixteen and older like the Playstation 3 or the X Box 360. Girls like the Nintendo Wii because it has games that girls will like. The X Box 360 has violent games that girls might not like. The Wii was preffered by people younger than fifteen. I learned that podcasts have to be changed into a mp3 file if it is made from a different software. You have to export the audio to something.
