Simple Door Lock Mechanism

Good day! So I booted up my old desktop the other day and saw some images I didn't know I had. Some of these were already uploaded on my facebook but I don't remember I uploaded them. LOL. Anyway here is a simple door [un]lock mechanism that I devised. As of then (actually until now), it was only an unlocking mechanism. But I have been thinking possible ways to also make it a locking mechanism which I will discuss in the Suggestions/Recommendations later.

This is only a prototype. I will make another one in the future

The Looking For Johnny Moon is a project of the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte to train Ilocanos in the field of Creative Media Arts, and in a aim to promote Ilocos Norte as a "shooting ground" for national and maybe, international films. Johnny Moon is the English translation of Juan Luna, (Juan = Johnny, Luna = Moon) a national artist and an icon of art in Ilocos Norte.

A Fansign from my Idol and our Almost Failed Report.

Sorry for not posting last week. You see, the week before last week, I lost a battle of RPS. (Rock - Paper - Scissors) You can read about it on my last post. Well, we, I'm sorry, I did a lot of research of the dances that hit in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, the 2000's, here in the Philippines. But unfortunately, I kind of failed. :/ The only resource that I had are the threads from certain forums where the users post about their experiences in the said time periods. 

The report was OK in the beginning, I did the "Twist", but as the time went on, the teacher's interest became lesser and lesser by the decade. He was looking for some Filipino dances, but we didn't have any until the 1990's! The teacher almost stopped our report, and we would've failed, until in the 2000's, he asked who are my other group mates. And since we're reporting on dances, he made my other group mates dance, including Cyril, a passive and silent student.

Warning: Long Post

Hello friends! How's life so far? My life has been so crazy these past few days. Here are some of the details, and we'll go through them later. Last July 13, I was asked by a friend if I can edit/create a video. Of course I can, we can. Since we have a crew that was formed from our Human 1 Class. We had a LOT of exams. My false teeth are kinda loose, much more!

Let's begin with the video thing. I started video editing in high school. This was the first video I ever edited (Click here). I got into editing when I came across a compositing software called FX Home VisionLab Studio. It had some pretty good effect presets. (as you can see in the video) All I did in the video was drag-and-drop. Then I saw the 'light saber' effect in the program, and I immediately planned a shoot. This was the outcome. (Click here, Facebook link) Post production (editing) took two days because I had to keyframe everything. Haha. And there were no sounds because my old desktop had no compatible audio drivers. :(

Anyway, from accepting the video editing, I learned a lot. When she was stating how she would like the opening sequence, I already knew I was going to use a 3D program, since I (think) cannot do that using a compositing program. The opening sequence was a gate, in which you have to enter the correct password to get into a building. Here's a snapshot of what I came up with.

Blog Post #4 - An Awesome Week

I was supposed  to post this last week but the internet was out again *sigh. We were already thinking of switching ISPs (Internet Service Provider) then the first awesome thing happened, the afternoon we were talking about that, the internet worked itself! Haha. I missed the internet during those days without connection so last weekend I indulged myself in internetly goodness. (Read that with Ryan Connolly's voice)

Last Monday, (July 8, 2013) we were supposed to have a class at 11am-2pm but the meeting that the instructor attended wasn't adjourned yet. So our class was again suspended for the nth time, and it was our last period for that day. We finally had our first meeting for that subject (Draw 21: Computer Aided-Drafting) this afternoon. Anyway, since we were in the library, why not make use of it? So me and my awesome friends went to the American Corner of the University Library to enjoy some games and some air conditioning goodness. (Again, read it with Ryan Connolly's voice)

DIY Arc Reactor

Hello friends! I just want to share this DIY Arc Reactor I made back in 2011, February to be exact. This was actually my first time to do an electronics DIY project. Although it did not turn out to be what I wanted, it's still awesome and hey, it lights up!

Blog Post #3 - 2 Weeks of Inactivity

Good day fellow humans! Sorry I have been inactive for the past two weeks. First all of, I have my school works, and secondly, there's this thing that I had to do for a friend. Besides those, nothing interesting have been happening with my journey through life. 

Well, there were some good things that happened last Tuesday, July 2. We had an exam in Mechanics. It was all or nothing because the teacher only gave us one problem,
and only one (I think) got the correct answer. Yes that's right. Only one in our whole class got the correct answer, all of the rest got 5 marks for effort. The problem was very tricky because you have to apply what you know about circles and rectangles. And here's the good news,
