This post shall be a tribute to the soon to be greatest Role Playing Game of to date history surpassing World of Warcraft, Runescape, and even its predecessors Oblivion, Morrowind, hammerfall, and arena,  The Elder Scrolls Five: Skyrim.  Skyrim takes place in the fictional world of Tamriel, being one of seven provinces that make up Tamriel.  To give an idea of just how massive this game is going to be content wise it is supposed to carry three times the content of Oblivion a game that you can easily put over two hundred hours of real time playing and still not have found every dungeon, cave, baddie, or weapon.  The amount of detail that is put into skyrim will be like watching a movie that is made with current graphics and real time reactions to your actions, an immersive gaming experience that has never been experienced before.  My only complaint about this game is that it is not going to include a co-op element.  When I say co-op I mean Cooperative element that would allow you to play with friends on either the same console or online with people all around the world.

Okay I can do this its just one little post about something...in actuality having no direction when attempting to do something is pretty hard, because who is to say that something is worth blogging about.  I like structure KALANI!  Well I guess I can blog about something cool I recently discovered Zombie Farm!!!!  Zombie Farm is an application for the Iphone, Ipod touch, or the Ipad.  It takes your traditional farmville throws Zombies in the mix and instantly makes the game one thousand times more entertaining for me.  Once you gather your zombie horde you can then invade places feeding on the inhabitants.

C-3PO 

There is an old saying that you are your worst critic and I believe it.  I felt my speech about the spaces that our class had visited whilst in Washington D.C. was far too rushed and hectic.  I have never been to the speaking center before but I had already taken a speaking intensive class Communication Studies while here at UNC-Greensboro previously, so the speech that they had given was a nice little refresher course of do's and do not's.  When the time comes to give another formal presentation I will definitely do much more preparation to be ready I hope to enlist someone to listen to my speech give me feed back and tell me when my speech is lacking or otherwise help me fix it.  Overall I feel I gave a decent speech i'm certainly no Obama with his incredible reserve and smooth composure.  When I was done and sat down much as I usually do I remembered so many things that I didn't talk about and felt so bad that I had spaced so badly on "things" I wanted to bring up, for example I mentioned exhibits lining the walls of the lobby and I forgot to tell about the C-3PO suit in one of the cases.

Wednesday September the fourteenth, the group that is going to be working on the Greensboro Historical Museum myself included, met with the committee that we are going to be working with to gather their input on how they envisioned the space becoming.  We also went over concerns with the space such as acoustics and lighting.  We tried to get a very broad spectrum of ideas and problems that were associated working with this GHM.

This past weekend our studio visited Washington D.C.  While there we observed the library of congress and various other Smithsonian museums.  Each person was given three of eleven museums that we were supposed to enter and observe the main lobby much as we have been doing for our other field trips this semester, the Greensboro Historical museum, and The Industries of the Blind.  We were to take in materials used, how they were used, lighting and how it was used or not used in the available space.  So naturally we took a million and a half pictures of the lobby space some sketches and spent the bulk of the time touring the museums themselves.

Since we have such freedom with our posts about what we find well designed I believe it is my duty to bring to light the beauty that is the Porsche 944 turbo.  When the 944 turbo was first released in 1986 it was the beginning of something truly amazing.  The Porsche 944 turbo was not only an amazing looking car it was also an amazing driving machine with a zero to sixty speed of approximately six point five seconds which for back in 1986 and being only a two point five liter engine was a rather fast acceleration time.  When the 944 turbo S was introduced in 1988 it boasted an improved engine with a two point seven liter engine, various upgrades boosting the overall performance to a five point five zero to sixty time, which was faster than almost all production cars made at this time especially in its price range.  In 1989 the S was dropped from its designation being know as the 944 turbo or to those in the know as the 951.  This car is a popular mainstay in autocross racing being used to this day to keep up with modern BMW M3s with all their electronic control systems and assistance.  With its sleak and sexy exterior the 944 turbo is and always will be a true blue head turner among car enthusiasts.
