make up reflect post
Looking at what everyone else is going over (namely app inventor), I am sorry to say I am not too hyped about it. Mason and I have gotten permission to continue on with Python; however, I am not entirely sure which direction we should move in. I will be quite honest: my programming interests are mainly in the realm of working on computer game programming. I have heard that Python may not be the best language for that, and I understand that. However, I have really begun to enjoy programming in python, and would like to expand into graphics. It is not something I think is best to do in python, but I like the language and feel comfortable enough with it that it seems the best place to break into graphics.

Makeup share post
There is not a very wide array of movies to pick from this weak, much to my dismay. I have been bombarded with essays, and have been rather scattered. So instead, I will speak of a tv show.
My family recently acquired netflix, greatly broadening our viewing horizons, and coupled with apple tv, will probably have enough to watch for the next ten years. Lately, we have been diving into murder mystery shows, and have been watching Columbo. For those who don't know, Colimbo is a 70s show about a rather inept looking liutenant who always seems to catch the wealth genius murder. One of the unique aspects of the show is that you see exactly how and by whom the murder is done, and the interesting part is seeing Columbo pick it appart. We originally saw the show's first two episodes off a DVD we picked up at Vulcan Video, and have been hooked for quite a while now. The convenient part is the the episodes are usually only a little over an hour, so they are much easier to fit into a day of hard labor for school than a standar hundred plus minute movie.

I have, after looking over some of the other share posts in other blogs, come to a descision: my share posts will now follow the common theme of being about what ever movie I have most enjoyed in the last weak. Movies are a large social part of my family, and we generally watch anywhere from two to five a weak, depending on work.
In the past weak, the both most entertaining and well done film was undoubtably The Social Network. While there were very few kind characters, and it wasn't a very kind movie, the plot was engagingly presented and well paced, and the meshing of the film clips was as wonderful as can be asked for. I don't think it did much for my view of facebook, however; it only strengthened my resolve to avoid supporting a corporation so apparently evil. What I found particularly interesting was the mechanical background of it's spread and acceptance. I also was able to catch a brief mention of Python, which I enjoyed. Technically, is was not that informative, and I am still curious to find out what/ how it was programmed.
