Customer Service, A Lost Art


Are the words courtesy , politeness,service and initiative lost in Jamaica?

Now apparently your not allowed to take pictures of the Gilead Wayside Chapel without some official sign off by the manager.Now how am i supposed to know that .The average person is using the monument for a trash can. Now finally someone wants to give it a little honour then this big potato comes shouting and screaming asking me if "I want my camera?"

WTH...
To think this was a man of the glorious working world
Anyways ...
Now there are pictures of the Gilead Wayside Chapel on the Internet.If they don't like it well they can either Jump off a cliff or send me a Desist Order

Never felt so inclined to start cursing in my life i didnt tho 0=)

Merry Christmas and assorted humbugs

Christmas is great .
Jesus is cool ,
but
one thing
i cant stand
is Satan Claus oops I mean Santa Claus
                          




Telling children theres a fat immortal cookie eating ninja thats lives in Sub-Zero temperatures, using slave labour and apparently mutant jet powered reindeer to traverse the world in 24 hours  is a bit ridiculous(to say the least).

Personally i  think HYMNS are a bit boring* but its at least related to the true meaning for the season.No Jingle Bell mush shall enter my house.Additionally iv'e decided to not get started on Commercialization because then ILL NEVER STOP WRITING.

I have a sniper rifle waiting, he'll be like HoOooOooo... and just die  :P


With all that Said 
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Unique Buildings + Math Question

Waymarking.com

Great site for buildings.All categorized for easy browsing.Check the Oddly shaped buildings category for good buildings for math homework

I am doing the Gheens Science Hall & Planetarium so choose something else.IMAGE BELOW IS NOT THE ONE IM DOING

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Mathematics in Architecture

(1) Model

The model must be 3D say you like Eiffel Tower. So build a 3D about 2 ft tall. Highlight the curve which depicts the mathematical principles behind it.

(2) In an illustration board or cartridge paper, paste the printed 2D drawing of the model from the internet. Surround it with INFORMATION behind the model - the APPLIED MATH. Keep the wordings to the minimum. Use equations rather than long declarative sentences. Few words.

Evaluation: Model (Choice, color, coordination, pattern) 50%
Info Sheet (Accuracy, proportion, impact) 50%

Use LOCAL and FOREIGN IDEAS. I am sending you my home-sweet-home.

Be Just or Be Dead

Capital Punishment

One might have a slight hunch that something is wrong with our society.Accounts of recent abductions plaguing out country have launched the greater populace into a state of paranoia.Something new needs to be done within the nation and capital punishment eagerly keeps shouting Pick me! Is it the right way forward?

Supporters of the Gaol speak of advantages of it such as "Freeing up" space in jails, Scaring criminals out of crime and a reduction in hte amount of taxpayers money being eaten up by criminals.Harsh times Harsh measures?

However ethics is a expert at putting one at two minds on almost anything as what if comes into play.What happens if you kill the wrong man? Must the tree of liberty be refreshed with the blood of patriots and traitors alike?

100 criminals for every innocent man?
im not sure but some particularly wicked people need to just die

Math Oral Presentation

As1-A and AS1-B MATH ORAL PRESENTATION
Mr. Absin
(HORRIBLE SPELLING)

Select ONE topic: CIRCLE, PARABOLA, ELLIPSE, HYPERBOLA

How to go about it:

(1) From whatever sources, find an equation of any conic mentioned above in general form.

(2) You must be able to explain the transformation of the equation into Standard Form (on the board)

(3) You musy be able to determine the properties of your conics including directrix and eccentricities.

(4) With power point slides, draw your conic enhanced by animation and colour.

(5) Find a picture or video or slides from the internet where your conic is applied. Example of this is the one I sent to your class representatives on PARABOLA. Or perhaps, you can make your own video highlighting an application of your conic. or example, the Ring Road depicting the application of a circle.

With your best attire and mood, come to class next week (AS1-A Tues & AS1-B Wed).

Grading: Excellence in explaining the transformation of the equation -
& finding all the properties. - 25%

Quality of the Power Point Slides in Graphing the Conic - 25%
How you explain math in the application of you Conic - 50%

At the front if my sketch book are 5 or so designs for Stylizing a wooden t square(always mark up your t square to avoid theft). To illustrate where I would put the names of the owner I used the filler text Lorem Ipsum.For all who don't know its just used to take up space as example text.

The original text is a excerpt from one of Cicero's writings(Philosophy O YEA!)


"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"

"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

How to close HTML tags

On blogger one gets the option to use bold italics and underlining when we make comments
Most people end up seeing this error Your HTML cannot be accepted: Tag is not closed: <_b_> .Comment formatting is a very simple but unexplained feature of blogger.

To close a HTML tag <> BOLD <> ITALICS <> UNDERLINE
1) Type the tag
<_b_> (or 'i' or 'u')
2) Type your text
<_b_>This text will be bold
3) Close your tag
<_b_>This text will be bold but <_/_b_>
4) Voila!
In the end the HTML tags will be gone.

(Always preview your comment first to make sure its correct) The _ are not really supposed to be in there...

You can also enclose tags within tags similar to (multiple (parentheses in an (equation)))

Architectural Information and General sources of information

Just some places you can find information:

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Wikipedia Although not a valid information source (for obvious reasons) very often, well written articles will have a plethora of information at your disposal IN THEIR REFERENCES SECTION

Answers.com Ok site - sort of a bit concise in presentation although they do grab the information you request from various sources so you get a little variety

Encyclopaedia Britannica Ok very official and stuff, however their not completely free so that's bad. Accurate information however

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Great Buildings Online Tons of info and Hi - REs pictures on buildings and a very wide range of information on architects ( depending on the architect of course)

Artcylopedia Well i mean i think you get the point right? It a big glomp of information on art! Naturally architecture is in it so you might just find something useful

CSA Forum Yes theres actually a forum.I was seeing how far back on google my blog is when you write in Utech Architecture(im page 3-5) and i stumbled upon the forum.Next year the forum will be a little more relevant to us, but go check it out, lurk around a bit...might see something

DONT FORGET!

Our UTECH LIbrary!! Yea! get up off your rear and go walk over there and borrow a book.There are actually lots of good books that aren't long or have fine print you know!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usAnd Dont Plagiarize or anything "smart" like that!

Teamwork divides the effort and multiplies the effect. ( there you have it MATHEMATICS IN ARCHITECTURE)

Yea not all the buttons work(yet)

Contact Button dont really want anyone to contact me

Search button  works 

you heard the cat...WAIT! ill fix it

Actually a lot more stuff work in this layout

5.10.08

What is the purpose of this blog?

I'm a UTECH Student of the Caribbean School of Architecture.This blog will be a account of my experiences over the next four years.

This blog is also so i don't go crazy from all the work.

Partially architecture related.Ill post any helpful comments or resources that i find.However this is mostly a outlet for my randomness and gallivanting across the interwebs
use the labels to filter through the idle stuff.


Enjoy

Sounds Familiar eh?

If you are architecture students you've probably experienced:

-the taste of glue
-changes in your vocabulary: homework to project, ball to sphere, etc
-you don't understand how somebody can spend less than $20 at the supplies store
-you hate people telling you "go to sleep" or "do you still have a lot of work?"
-your friends and you don't have the same concept of work "oh, well do it right before class"
-you've slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends
-you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks
-no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say “why don’t you add this�? or “why don’t you change this here�? or “i think that…but…yeah, its ok�?
-you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week
-you aren’t seen in public without bags under your eyes
-whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by “or do you have a lot of homework?�?
-you’ll dance ymca with a choreography without a drop of alcohol in your system
-you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink
-you constantly make up excuses for courses that are not design related why you didn’t do your workImage Hosted by ImageShack.us
-you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people
-your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project
-someone once called you “lazy�? and you wanted them murdered
-you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out…Image Hosted by ImageShack.us chaos!!! ( or printers in our case)
-when somebody lends you a Bic pen you look down at it
-you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your models and your huge computerImage Hosted by ImageShack.us
-you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost
-you have the modern mark: a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse
-everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it�?
-you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc
-you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized
-when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s bathroom?�? “who designed this menu?�? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc]�?
-you've been at many sunrises, yet you've never seen one
-you need to read all this in a facebook group to realize how weird your life is

Things they should invent for Architecture and other matters

Architectural Inventions for the future

Glowing Set Squares - Cause that little shadow you get when you want to draw a line and the light source may be on the other side of the set square is just plain annoying and you have to be like covering e set square just so that the light source is even JEEZUM@! (annoying rite?) So i proposed set squares should glow. Smart Eh?

Magnetic T-Squares - Don't you just hate it when you draw a really neat line only to find that the t square wasn't lined up with the board.SOOOOO.... they should make magnetic t squares so that you know your t square stays straight . ANOTHER BRIGHT IDEA BY SHAUN

Organic French Curves (Dunno what to call this -_-) So french curves are great but sometimes u have a really weird curve and u just cant draw it right....SOOO is the curve would automatically set to the one you need to draw OR you can pull it into a defined shape


Why does UTECHS lite go away so often eh? 3 Times today o man!!! barely got that damn architect thing done...
