I joined the class because I thought it would be fun, and programming is always something I've been interested in.

The biggest problem I'd love to see solved is, I want people to hate each other less.

My favorite quote is "One must imagine Sisyphus happy" (Albert Camus 24). This quote really resonates with me. It helps me push through difficult situations, and makes me happy even in the toughest of times.

My favorite movie is District 9. It is a alien movie where aliens are forced to live in a separate area by the government and are treated poorly. The main character Wikus accidently infects himself with some alien goo, and slowly becomes an alien. He ends up working with an alien named Christopher, to go against the mistreatment of the aliens by the government, and to repower the alien mother ship to help Christopher leave Earth and hopefully find a cure for Wikus. The movie is just very well done with good visual effects, a nice story, and a very emotional ending. District 9 has always stuck with me, and I have always considered it my favorite movie.

My favorite YoutTube video is might quit by bill wurtz. It's a nice mix of a silly video with some nice messages. It's also a catchy song that I find randomly pops into my head every now and then.

My favorite music is pretty much any song by Chonny Jash. Chonny Jash is an independent Australian music artist that got big from doing covers of songs from the band Tally Hall. All of his music has a really unique feel and every time he does a cover he puts his own spin on it.

My favorite song is i wish that i could wear hats by Brian David Gilbert. It's a simple short song that can be interpreted in many interesting ways. The many different ways people see the song are very interesting to skim though.

1. Solar powered water harvesters: which harnesses a temperature difference within the device to allow an adsorbent material — which collects liquid on its surface — to draw in moisture from the air at night and release it the next day. When the material is heated by sunlight, the difference in temperature between the heated top and the shaded underside makes the water release back out of the adsorbent material. The water then gets condensed on a collection plate. I think its cool because it can potentially be another source of water in places where water is hard to come by.

2. Portable DNA sequencers: It works by monitoring changes to an electrical current as nucleic acids are passed through a protein nanopore. The resulting signal is decoded to provide the specific DNA or RNA sequence. This opens in a new window. I think it's cool because it allows the sequencing of DNA to be carried out easily anywhere in the world.

3. Mind controlled prosthetics: It captures the brain signals, interprets them, translates them and transfers them as control signals to the device being used. I think its cool because it is getting closer to fully functionally artificial limbs.
