Three things I know:
1.) I knew that glasses that could change to sunglasses when in light existed, but not ones that can correct the colors you see.
2.) That they're not only for people who have a colorblindness deficiency but also for anyone who feels that there are not enough vibrant colors in their lives.
3.) That you can look cool in these glasses as well.
Two opinions:
1.) I like how science is contributing to little things like this for people who are not so lucky as the rest of us.
2.) I don't like how they are offering these glasses for a higher price for people who are colorblind than people who are not since it was made for people who are colorblind.
One question:
1.) If they can be pre-ordered, than can't someone who is colorblind just say that they are not colorblind so that they don't have to pay as much?

First Article: Barry Levinson Explores IPhone Filmmaking, Environmental Disaster In The Bay
Three things I learned:
1.) That he made the movie from footage on iPhones.
2.) He had the actors filming themselves.
3.) That the movie was done almost like an amateur film.
Two opinions:
1.) I really liked how they treated the making of the film almost like a school project. It sounds like they had a lot of fun with this one.
2.) I don't like how most movie directors would probably take the job of making a film too seriously. It sounds like you should have all kinds of fun making your film, not just make it just to make it.
One question:
1.) For something like this, how long did it take for them to not only come up with this idea, but actually follow through with it and make it happen?

Welp, last minute again, as usual...
What I learned: Started learning about how Adobe After Effects works, the basics that is.
What I want to learn: What else you can accomplish with it.
What made me happy: Knowing that Graham agreed to coming back to BOCES on Monday to finish our Documentary. I think it's going to be great!
What frustrated me: The fact that I have to use a day off to do it. But oh well...it's better than actually going to school because I want to finish this Documentary and make it awesome!

Just some funny guys playing Minecraft. Mild language involved, but that's what makes it funny XD

Second Article: Voice Actors Stepping More Into the Spotlight!
Three things I didn't know:
1.) That the man Frank Welker voice acts for so many different characters and some from shows I watched.
2.) That he's voiced in nearly 700 films and shows combined.
3.) That the creator of Family Guy also created American Dad and The Cleveland Show.
Two opinions I had:
1.) I like how voice actors are getting more attention and are being recognized more.
2.) I didn't really dislike anything in this particular article.
One question I had:
1.) How does one person star as a voice actor in nearly 700 different films and shows combined in one lifetime? It just doesn't seem possible!

First Article: The Disney Purchase of LucasFilm: What Does it Mean?
Three things I didn't know:
1.) That Disney bought out Lucas Films for Star Wars.
2.) Disney plans to start releasing Star Wars films in 2015.
3.) That in 1996, Disney got Dreamquest as well.
Two opinions I had:
1.) I like how Lucas said that he was going to contribute his wealth into a good cause for education.
2.) What I didn't like was how it seems like Disney is buying out all these different film production things almost as if they wanted to control the industry.
One question:
1.) What will be the next thing that Disney buys out?
1.) That Disney bought out Lucas Films for Star Wars.

More blogginess I almost forgot to do!?!?
What I learned: Some new stuff on Premiere from Graham.
What I want to learn: I was gonna say when we will do the After Effects Demo but then I realized that was already established.
What frustrated me: Learning that we only had until Wendsday to finish our Documentary projects.
What made me happy: Learning that the due date for the Documentary was changed to Friday.

Second Article: Apple and the Incredible Vanishing CD Drive!
What I didn't know:
1.) That only the Mac Pro and non-Retina Display Mac Pro had optical drives out of their Apple merchandise.
2.) That optical drives actually made ripping music from CD's easier.
3.) That Steve Jobs was actually against having the ability for Blu-Ray on Mac's
My opinions:
1.) I liked how Apple is trying to get more people to turn to online music download rather than go to the store to buy a CD and rip it to your computer.
2.) I disliked the method they used. It almost seemed like it was a shock that the Mac didn't have an optical drive anymore, almost as if people weren't told that this was going to happen. It also seems more like a forced method into getting people to digitally download music instead of buying CD's at a store.
Question:
1.) Is this really going to get people to buy more music digitally than from a store?

First Article: Hurricane Sandy Images: Don't Get Fooled By Fake Images.
Three things I didn't know:
1.) That people were being stupid enough to post fake photos of Hurricane Sandy devastation.
2.) That the devastation was that bad.
3.) That an estimated 36 miles of subway track is underwater in NYC. I was very surprised when I heard that.
Two opinions that I had:
1.) I liked how the article pointed out how to see what images were real and which ones were not real.
2.) I disliked how people would actually do this kind of stuff like fake photos when there is something as bad as Hurricane Sandy affecting people and other people are making a big joke out of it.
One question I had:
1.) What would motivate a person to actually lie about the devastation just to scare people.
