Three things I learned:
1.) What Moore's Law even is.
2.) That Pixar used Moore's Law to allegedly predict the future.
3.) That Pixar used it to predict the creation of Toy Story.
Two opinions:
1.) This confused the heck out of me.
2.) I second my first statement.
Question:
Why do we need to go to the intervening steps just to think about how we're going to get to the higher steps.

These Adorable Robots Are Making a Documentary About Humans. Really.
Three things I learned:
1.) Well, first of all, that humans are trying to make robots put together a documentary on humans. Weird...
2.) That the questions that they ask you are very intelligent and they also give back very good natural responses.
3.) They were programmed to ask very personal questions at times.
Two opinions:
1.) I personally think that this a very strange idea for somebody to have. But whatever...it's technology.
2.) For some reason, I feel like some people are going to feel offended by the questions being ask.
Question:
How many of these things are they going to make?

Drivers Ed Gets In The Way Of Everything!
What I learned: That it's a good idea to plan your time ahead of time itself so that you're not rushing around trying to finish what you started. But then again, what do I know...I'm a huge procrastinator :P
What I want to learn: When everyone is going to get to see mine and Graham's Independent. It just might be better than the first.
What made me happy: As you know, I am a huge Bills fan so it's great knowing that the NFL Draft starts today. Can't wait for it.
What frustrated me: Referencing my previous comment, I am happy the Draft starts today, but I've got Drivers Ed, so I can't watch it. *Sad face*

So...remember that video where two guys showed how animals eat their food?
Well...there's a parody out there now.

Did Disney Steal This Alice In Wonderland Image?
Three things I learned:
1.) That Disney would take something that isn't there's,
2.) That Disney would do this without permission.
3.) That there could have been multiple reasons as to why Disney screwed up here.
Two opinions:
1.) It seems as though Disney finds themselves to be invincible because they are so huge.
2.) It's annoying how when big name companies make mistakes there are usually no repercussions against them.
Question:
1.) If Disney does get penalized for this, what would be the penalization? A fine? Yeah...that'll teach them (obvious sarcasm is obvious).

Interview: Jonathan Coulton and Greg Pak on their Kickstarter project "Code Monkey".
Three things I learned:
1.) That there's going to be a comic based on those songs.
2.) That people see that the songs that Jonathan Coulton writes tell stories as well.
3.) That "Code Monkey" actually is based off of other songs.
Two opinions:
1.) I like the idea of a comic based on the song.
2.) Whether or not it's successful or not is another thing.
Question:
1.) When is this supposed to be coming out.

Can't remember if I did this already for this week or not...so if so, I'm doing it again.
Learned: That trying to film outdoors can be kind of annoying (ask Graham about the frogs *shudder*)
Want to learn: At this point in the year, I can't really think of anything that I want to learn except maybe how I want to do my color project...which I still don't know what to do for it.
Made me happy: Finishing the filming for mine and Graham's Independent.
Made me frustrated: The first time we shot the battle scene in our Independent the battery in the camera was almost dead and we had to rush to finish it, so I decided that we redo it on Wendsday...so we did.

Yes I did.

Gonna Be Eighteen Tomorrow!
What I learned: Driver's Ed sucks...
What I want to learn: At this point, since it's so late in the year, I can't think of anything else that I want to learn. I feel as though I've learned all there is to learn.
What made me happy: Finishing my poem project (which I love)!
What frustrated me: The fact that I couldn't do the lightning effect at home because my computer couldn't handle it.

Because it's funny.

Second Article: Japanese Smell-o-Vision T.V. Releases Scents With Per-Pixel Accuracy.
Three things learned:
1.) That people are trying to invent a T.V. where you can smell the pixels on the screen and the smell changes based on whats on the screen.
2.) That ideas for the smell-o-vision were introduced over fifty years ago.
3.) That over one-hundred years ago scents were used in theaters by use of cotton soaked in oils so that what ever people were watching they would feel like they were really there with the scents.
Two opinions:
1.) I don't see the point in doing something like this. It would just make me hungrier while watching T.V. with food on the screen.
2.) If done, it would waste money on something we don't even need.
Question:
1.) Like I already said, why would they waste time making something like this?
