A team from Texas A&M has revealed a touch screen that they have been working on for years. Actually its not a screen at all, its like an empty picture frame with lined LEDs and criss crossed beams of infrared light.

Podcasts 4/11

1. I think a podcast is a group of files made by someone to released information. They are usually released in       episodes too.

2.So they show their movie, info, or whatever it may be to the public.

3.I have no experience creating podcasts at all.

4. Depends on what kind of podcasts you are making. You may need music or movie editing software.

5.A news article but for sports.

My Weekend

This weekend was a bit crazy. Saturday I went to the mall but yesterday was the craziest game of basketball I had in a while. Orlowski, Porteous, Joanides, Romano, Demitri, Maher, Anthony, George, and I were playing basketball in front of my house from about 5:00 to 6:30.
It was a crazy and funny game, but I still dont remeber what was going on.
