Zhi Zhang Capstone

Posted by Zhihong Zhang in Capstone on Friday, May 19, 2017 at 10:21 am

You know how it’s useful for companies to collect your information and record your web browsing habits so they can hit you with ads you would actually watch? It actually works, because Youtube’s recently been playing movie ads whenever I would watch videos instead of doing work, and I would actually watch the whole ad, because it catches my attention.


For my Capstone, I worked for the Tiny WPA & Public Workshop (whom I’ve been with for like 3 years now) alongside Mr. Pilla and Gabe Ladd to help code, design enclosures, and install photo sensors (light sensors), and vibration sensors onto benches and eventually in a park that’s going to be built soon.


The sensors would gather use data on finished projects from the Tiny WPA and Public Workshop and show us how people use the things we’ve built, so that we can improve the design later, and we can also use the data to show that the projects are actually being used and that the money the funders have given us weren’t wasted.


During the project, I would meet with either Mr. Pilla or another guy Gabe who’s an engineer, and they would mentor us on the basic concepts of coding and electronics, the principles of data collection and analysis, plus sensor design and manufacturing techniques. The product of this project was a sensor that records if something's being used at whatever time through detecting disturbances in the amount of light it’s receiving, and we’re probably gonna use it in our future projects like benches on the sidewalk, as well as making it public with instructions so others can replicate use it.

Drill Press Video

Posted by Zhihong Zhang on Friday, June 10, 2016 at 2:40 pm
Using the drill press is actually really easy, and most of the time you're gonna spend using it is just adjusting the table, the chuck (spinning part that holds the drill bit), and moving the drill bit into the piece of wood you need to drill.

So if you're gonna use the drill press, you would probably first make sure there's a flat piece of wood clamped on the "table", have the light on, have the drill bit secured in the chuck using the chuck key, safety glasses, good leverage over the piece of wood you're gonna drill through (can be clamped), and the power on.

This was actually the second time I edited a video, but I think it's acceptable. 

The hardest part in making this video would actually be waiting till the makerspace was empty enough to record, because apparently people like to talk. 

Editing wasn't too hard, especially because all I did was cut certain parts out to make the video less time consuming to watch. (Also was a lot easier because I wasn't using the horrid wevideo software)

TL;DR: Using the drill press is easy - Learned how to edit videos.

Félix Rubén García Sarmiento




LO FATAL

DICHOSO el árbol, que es apenas sensitivo,

y más la piedra dura porque ésa ya no siente,

pues no hay dolor más grande que el dolor de ser vivo

ni mayor pesadumbre que la vida consciente.

Ser, y no saber nada, y ser sin rumbo cierto,

y el temor de haber sido y un futuro terror...

¡Y el espanto seguro de estar mañana muerto,

y sufrir por la vida y por la sombra y por

lo que no conocemos y apenas sospechamos,

y la carne que tienta con sus frescos racimos,

y la tumba que aguarda con sus fúnebres ramos

y no saber adónde vamos,

ni de dónde venimos!...




  1. Félix Rubén García Sarmiento, conocido como Rubén Darío, poeta nicaragüense fue quien inició hispanoamericana movimiento literario conocido como modernismo (modernismo) que floreció a fines del siglo 19. Darío ha tenido una gran y duradera influencia en siglo 20 literatura española y el periodismo. Ha sido elogiada como "El príncipe de las letras castellanas" y padre indiscutible del modernismo movimiento literario. Darío es reverenciada como el diplomático más grande de Nicaragua y una de las principales voces de América Central y del Sur.

  1. Soy estudiante de la Academia Ciencia Liderazgo@beeber, a que se hace referencia comúnmente como Z, como mi nombre es Zhi y pronunciado como una "Z". Normalmente soy una persona que mantiene a sí mismos, sino que depende de mi estado de ánimo y la hora del día, de lo que estoy más posibilidades de hablar durante horas, a continuación, la mañana. Normalmente soy tranquilo en la clase, a menos que realmente quiero a participar en un debate, o tiene la posibilidad de ser los diablo abogado.

    Fuera de la escuela en diversas actividades que van desde simplemente pasando el rato con los amigos a jugar juegos de video durante horas y horas. Que estoy más activo durante finales de primavera, en verano, a principios de otoño, como el tiempo lo permite para mis actividades favoritas, como exploración urbana, caminatas, pesca, camping. Creo que puede contar como un introvertido, pero no estoy muy seguro.

Lo Fatal

Dichoso el árbol, que es apenas sensitivo,

y más la piedra dura porque ésa ya no siente,

pues no hay dolor más grande que el dolor de ser vivo,

ni mayor pesadumbre que la vida consciente.

Ser y no saber nada, y ser sin rumbo cierto,

y el temor de haber sido y un futuro terror…

Y el espanto seguro de estar mañana muerto,

y sufrir por la vida y por la sombra y por

y la carne que tienta con sus frescos racimos,

y la tumba que aguarda con sus fúnebres ramos,

¡y no saber adónde vamos,

ni de dónde venimos!…

4. Me gusta mucho el poema, porque estoy de acuerdo en las opiniones que tiene él. Yo creo que la más potente línea del poema es: "no hay dolor tan grande como ser vivo, no hay carga más pesada que la de vida consciente." porque es verdad. Vida está llena de dificultades y obstáculos, pero eso es lo que hace que la vida valga la pena vivir. Las dificultades y los obstáculos solo hará que la vida sea más emocionante, como uno podría pensar de lo que sucedería después de que superar carga de la carga.


El poema de vida describe de una manera, porque lo que el poema dice es bastante verdadero. También me gustó el sutil pesimismo incluido en el poema, porque soy una persona pesimista.

“Tiempo”


Estoy feliz, pero estoy vivo.


Tan feliz como soy. Yo soy sensible.


La botella es feliz. Ya que siente no.


No está consciente. No siente.


No les preocupaba. No se pregunta.


El futuro me preocupa. Que lo encontraré.


Tiempo espera a nadie.


Todos vivimos caducará.


No sabemos nuestro propósito.


No sabemos para Adonded estamos dirigimos.

Transcript:

ZZ: “How’s your day, Mr.Perrone?”



CP: “Okay.”



ZZ: “I’m just gonna ask you a few questions, okay?”



CP: “Okay.”



ZZ: “What do you see the role of race in society?”



CP: “I see the role of race acts as a barrier that keep the from working together better.”



ZZ: “What did race mean to you growing up?”



CP: “Growing up, I was taught, there was a lot of stereotypes, but as i grew older I’ve found out they were untrue and I believe no one should be racist.”


ZZ: “Oh..”


ZZ: “How did the concept of race differ between the countries you’ve “visited” while in the Air Force?”


CP: “Well. Being born in America you’re exposed to every race pretty much in the world, but when you travel to other countries it’s more populated by one race and there’s usually small pockets of people (foreigners) from other countries and they stood out more than in America.”


ZZ: (Muffled) “Interesting.”


ZZ: “What’s by far the most racist countries you’ve “visited”?”


CP: “I would say Turkey, and Egypt. I would say it was race and religion driven.”


ZZ: “Can you give me some details?”


CP: “I would say it was more or less not that you’re the race they were “against” when you were there they were more or less you’re anti their religion (You were against their religion), so they didn’t like you for mainly that reason.”


ZZ: (Muffled) “Huh…”


ZZ: “Did your concept of race change as you travel around the world as a military personnel?”


CP: Yes. My concept changed because I got to see all faces of the world and it shows better not to see race and live among everybody in harmony.


ZZ: (Muffled) Interesting.


ZZ: “Did you experience any civil rights movements during your lifetime?”


CP: “Yes, I lived through the “million-man march”, and I also.. um.. was growing up during the Rodney King incident.”


ZZ: “How old were you?”


CP: “I was in highschool during both events.”


ZZ: (Muffled) “Huh..”


ZZ: “Were you anyway affected by these movements?”


CP: “Yes, the race-riots affected a lot of commerce for about a week. And a lot of infrastructure -and houses were burned and businesses were broken into and looted.”


ZZ: (Muffled) “Huh..”


ZZ: “Did you have any experiences with the Ku Klux Klan?”


CP: “Yes. I was stationed down in South Carolina, and I happened to accidentally date a one of the members nieces, and from being from Italy my family, um , they do not see white people. They see, um, Caucasian in the only race so even if you’re white and Italian, or Spanish, you’re still, uh, not like by them.”


ZZ:(Muffled)(Sick): “Huh.. I never knew that..”


ZZ: “How did the Klansmen treat you?”


CP: “Since they knew I was not “white” and they consider Italian not white, they told me to turn around and do not come back here ever again.”


ZZ: (Muffled-Muffled): “Huh.”


ZZ: “Has your encounter with the Klan changed your concept of race?”


CP: “Yes, it makes me feel sorry for the people who has to deal with racism and I wish it would go away.”


ZZ: “Alright, thank you for your time Mr. Perrone.”


CP: “You’re welcome.”
