Today we did a lot on making 3D elevation maps and it was pretty cool. I didn't have any ah, ha! moments, but I did have a question. My arc scene map was really weird when I overlayed the hillshade over the raster map. It would have boxes with both layers clipping over each other...
My thanksgiving plans are to go to Cody, Wyoming to be with my Aunt and Uncle for thanksgiving.

ArcGIS and Christmas Music
I don't have any ah, HA! moments or questions as of yet...
I've already started listening to some Christmas music, but after Thanksgiving is when I get all of it out.

ArcGIS and favorite place to eat
With arcGIS my ah, ha moment was seeing where to get the data for the maps and my only concern is figuring out where the units are on arial photo at this point.
My favorite place to eat is Perry's Steakhouse in Houston, mmm... melt in your mouth steaks...

Joke time plus Review
No questions or a, ha moments today.
My joke:
Back in the cold war the Americans and the Russians kept building more and more weapons and they realized they were going to destroy each other. So they got together to decide how to end this without wiping each other out, but still having a winner. So, they decided that they would be given 5 years to breed a dog and then they would decide who won the cold war by having a dog fight. So, the Russians went back and they found the meanest, nastiest, siberian wolves and dogs they could find... They bred these dogs and at the end of 5 years they had a vicious monster of a dog. Several of its trainers had lost limb, it took massive thick steel bars to hold this dog, and everyone was scared of it. When the day of the fight came the Russians were confident, but they waited for the Americans to arrive to see for sure. When the Americans arrived with their dog they couldn't help laughing because the Americans' dog was a little Dachsand in a tidy, but standard looking cage and was tiny compared to their dog. When the laughing subsided the Russians shouted, "Lets get this over with!!!" And both sides released their dogs... The Russian one bounded out of its cage with a snarl and the little american dog waddled out of its cage. The Russian dog charged and leaped to tear the Americans' dog limb from limb, but then... Just before it stuck the American Dog opened up wide and swallowed the Russian dog whole.
The Russians stood it disbelief, they couldn't believe it! They walked over to the Americans and said, "How!!! We spent 5 years on that dog, it was the meanest, toughest, biggest dog in all of Russia." The Americans replyed, "Well it took us 5 years to make an Alligator look like a dog."

Powerpoint and Jessica's Presentation
Today, we went over powerpoint. I liked seeing some of the new features for 2007 like the slide master. I didn't have any questions.
In the presentation by Jessica she didn't sound interested and just vaguely read the slides, she used a lot of ums and ahs, and didn't talk loud. The slides had lots of small text, no theme, hard to read and understand graphics.

Posters and my favorite college class
Today we went over making posters in illustrator. I didn't really have any questions or ah, ha! moments today, although the BYU logo site was a good thing to know.
My favorite class in college so far was probably the entrepreneurship lecture series that a took about a couple of years ago. I've enjoyed a lot of my classes including the geology ones (a good thing for a geology major I suppose...) alot as well.

MORE illustrator and places I've lived
Today was fairly easy, I really liked going over the gradient tool and the reflect tool was cool. I don't have any questions today.
I lived in Corpus Cristi, TX for about 1 month after I was born, then I lived in New Orleans, LA for 18 years. Then, I went to school in Provo, UT for a couple of semesters. Then, I went and lived in Japan during my mission. Then, I lived in Houston for about 4 or 5 months. Now I have been alternating living in Provo and Houston.

Crossections and my Thanksgiving plans
Today we went over illustrator and making cross-sections. I really liked seeing the transparency demo and what all the modes did. I had experimented with them in Photoshop and kind of knew what they did, but it was good to see a concise demo of it. Seeing how to add arrowheads was pretty cool as well. I didn't have any questions about illustrator today.
I will be going to Cody Wyoming to see my aunt this Thanksgiving so that should be cool. Nice job trying to put a positive spin on not coming up with a question today...
