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?

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.

Check out what has been happening for theGiftRevolution.com so far.

Prospekts March/Thegiftrevolution.com

I know I have not blogged for awhile, been busy. Anyways, Prospekts March came out last week. These were the songs Coldplay could not get on the Viva la Vida album time. Now you can get the complete album how it was intended to be. Let me tell, I went to there concert a month ago and it was just phenomenal. If you ever get a chance go see them, GO!!!
What else!! Oh, if you have not heard yet. My church started a series called thegiftrevolution.com. We want people to inspire the world in 25 days by doing random acts of kindness to others. Right now we are struggling with the economy and some kindness could go a long way to someone. Just this last Sunday, I was in the drive thru of a checkers and I paid for the person behind me. When I told the checker employee to give the gift revolution card to the person behind me he then realized what I was doing. Let me tell, it felt pretty awesome. I would encourage you to spread the gift revolution to someone.

Unveiling 11/22/08

Star Trek XI

As some of you know I'm the biggest Star Wars FAN but I am fan of Star Trek as well. Star Trek the Next Generation was one of those shows I watch with my father back when I was a little kid, so you could say it was my dad who got me into Sci Fi. I never really watch the original Trek, accept for the movies. Star Trek XI is actually going to be a prequel to the original series, accept it will look a lot nicer. After looking at the latest trailer, its looks pretty cool.

New Mute Math Song

MuteMath is one my favorite bands and  I cannot get enough of there music. Some would say I play MuteMath a bit to much. As much as I love there last album, I am so ready for some new music. Unfortunately the new album won't come out until spring 2009. I was kinda bummed because I thought it would be out by the end of 2008. Then I heard one of there new songs was going to be on the Soundtrack for the Movie: Twilight. The soundtrack came out today and movie will be in theaters Nov.21 2008. 

So I downloaded the soundtrack and let me tell you it has some good artist on there. Obliviously the one I cared to listen to was MuteMath. The name of the song is called "Spotlight" and I very much enjoyed the song. Hopefully this will keep me going until the new album release.  

Take a listen to "Spotlight":

Mr. Never Throw it Away

I never had a chance to post this video when it came out because I did not have a blog back then, now I do. This was a video FRC did back in February 08 for a series called Garage Sale.  The actual garage sale was huge and we donated the proceeds to cancer research. Enjoy!!

I Voted Early!!

I voted early today but I had wait 3 hours in line. I went to West Dade Regional library on Coral Way and 94th Ave. It was open at 11:00 am and I got there at 12:15 p.m. so you can imagine the wait as the day went on. Vicky and David went to the election headquarters in Doral where they waited 35 minutes, that is not fair. If you plan to vote early go to your election headquarters in your county!

Chick-Fil-A

I love that chick-fil-A, there chicken is so good. Another reason I love chick-fil-a, is because you can order your food 20 minutes before you head to a Chick-Fil-A,( at last the one in Doral you can). Then all you have to do is pay and walk out with your food. I did the very same thing this morning when I was getting breakfast for the setup team in FRC Doral.  Its Awesome!!
