I think that this use of coding and getTimer could be very useful. One way I think that I would use it is by having the people select multiple buttons. Lets say that theres a room, and its locked by 4 buttons. And lets also say that if you hit them in the right order in the right amount of time, the door opens. But if you take to long, or not hitting them in the right order, the buttons reset themselves and you have to start all over again. Another way that I could use this coding to make my interactive resume more interesting and fun is to have doors that are locked and needed to be opened by multiple buttons pressed at the same time. Lets say the user is heading down the hallway, and at the end is a sliding door panel. On both sides of the door are a button, in which the user has to press both of them in the aloud time which will then activate the door. Basically its like those FBI or CIA doors that require 2 keys to be turned at the same time in order to open for safety reasons. A third way I could implement them into my IR is by having a computer on lockdown mode, and it has to be restarted with a binary coding of buttons pressed down in the aloud time. The user would have to find the code somewere else on the IR and then use it to activate the certain binary numbers in the aloud time in order to unlock the computer. So that’s 3 ways I could use this to help further my IR and make it more interesting.

BPA Experiance

My BPA experience was very good this year. I had a better team, and we also were all more driven to succeed this year since it is our last chance to compete. The whole experience started when we arrived at the competition. The environment was the same as last year, but it was a lot more cozy then last year, more people I know, more games, and good food. We played a couple games of Tsuro first. Tsuro is a tile game in which each person has to follow their paths around the board. The winner is the person who can stay on the longest without colliding with another person or falling of the edge of the map. I won the first game, and then Jon won the second game, but everyone had lots of fun. Then Travis, Matt, Jon, and I played some Ideology. That game basically is risk but with political advice. We didn’t get to finish that one though. Then at 3:50 we got all the equipment and our papers together and headed for the elevator, went upstairs, and checked in. The woman told us like she did last year that they were about 5 minutes behind schedule. So we patiently awaited our turn. 35 minutes later, we finally got called into the room, and we presented. We seemed to have impressed both of the judges and we nailed our presentation with no problems. We did loose about a minute though on the beginning because of sum technical stuff but I wrote 250 words so just ask me about it.
