X-Men Origins: Wolverine

So I am really excited to see the new Wolverine movie. Now, I was not one of the people who saw it already due to someone leaking the movie out. I wanted to see how is supposed to be seen, on the Big Screen. I will be one of those people seeing it at Midnight. If you have not even heard about this movie check out the trailer.

Long time no see!

Man, I have not posted for while. Just been really busy lately. This last weekend was an amazing Easter at flamingo road church. We had over 500 people Baptize. Don't know the exact number of people we had total that came to our services but there were a lot. Well I'm almost done for the semester at FIU and I have just 1 semester to go until I graduate. YAY!!! As far as my glove controller, it has been put on hold but I will pick on it this Summer. Hopefully I ill have it ready before school starts in the fall. Right now FRC is in a series called Missed. There is website that is going on that is for this series so check it out IveMissed.com. There are stories and conversations about real life situations that we struggled with or have missed out on. 

Here one of the stories from IveMissed.com:

Whats New

So I have had a snag with my glove controller. My Arduino chip no longer wanted to be detected on any computer. I think I fried it somehow, so I order a new one. So hopefully when the new part comes in I can get all my sensors to work. I hope to developed a glove similar to the picture below. 

Once I finish the glove, I then need to figure out how I plan on using it. 

Couple things I thought of:

       1. Using my glove to play a virtual instrument; like a trumpet

         2. Use each finger to trigger different things

         3. Maybe conduct a virtual piece by moving my hand

If you have any ideas on what I should use my glove for, leave a comment?

How excited are you in seeing this movie????

An FRC Music Video

Are FRC video team did a great job making this video. The song we used was "What ever it Takes" by LifeHouse. Every campus sang this live while the video was playing on all the screens. It definitely turned out really well!!

Grammy's

I love the Grammy's, because it is not just an award show but it is an amazing concert. I love how it started off with U2 performing. Then the first award went to Jennifer Hudson who suffer a lot in 2008 with death of her mother, brother, and nephew.  Then later that night she performed and I know it was an emotional performance. Coldplay won a few grammy's and had an awesome performance. Boy, can Carrie Underwood sing and she had a girl lead guitar that rocked.  Jonas Brothers singing with Stevie Wonder was pretty cool. Then when MIA came out for her performance, and she did it nine months pregnant. She was actually due that night, props to that!! Overall it was a good Grammy's!! 

Stuff

Man, I haven't blog for a while, been keeping busy. I am really excited that Heroes has started up again, Monday's episode was good. Of course Lost started its new season just 2 weeks ago and it's already insane. I am currently working on a cool glove controller for my senior research at FIU. (I have to full fill at least 4 credits of research in the music technology program at FIU) The glove will have flex sensors that will detect the movement of my finger as I bend them, it will also have accelerometer that will detect the movement of my entire hand, and lastly I am putting infrared sensors in order detect when I pass an object/person. I am controlling all of this with Arduino USB board. Right now am having problems programing the Arduino. Once I get it working I can get the sensor to work. The software I am using is called Max 5. As my research gets further along, I will check in with its progress. 

Thats all for now, enjoy this movie trailer:

New Year's Concert

Concert Promo from Flamingo Road Church on Vimeo.

At Flamingo Road Church we are starting out the year with a concert. Every campus is having there own concert so find a campus close to you and come join us this Sunday. You should really come to the Doral campus because we have the best sound!! LOL!! 

Happy New Year!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It has been a long time since i blogged!! I thought I would start this year with a new post. This year I had the pleasure to go the De Armas' house for a new years party that was hosted by Brigitte and Thomas Soucy, Raul and Tati Amador. I was able get some fireworks to make it an even more enjoyable new years. When the clock struck Midnight, I time it right where the first of fireworks went off. Now we are all saying happy new year to each other,  shooting more fireworks. Then something stupid happened, one of my friends(Raul) was wondering "what would happen if I lit the paper of a whole set of bottle rockets". Of course he was playing but the fire was to close to the rockets and it caught fire. Then the fuses got lit on the rockets and Raul threw it into the grass instead of the pool like he should of. Then chaos happened!!?@?@ A couple of the rockets flew right at us. One flew right by me and hit thomas in the chest. Thomas reacted by jumping into the pool, with his hand held high gripping his iphone( the iphone is still working). Seeing that was freakin hilarious. The bad thing was that a rocket hit Tati in the mouth but she will be fine. As result of this incident Raul was suspended from fireworks indefinitely and we resumed the fireworks in the front of the house. So you can say we started out the year with a BANG, literally.
