Post of the Week

This weeks post of the week was pretty strange.  The reason it is so strange is because it is last weeks post of the week.  It probably happened because I posted last week's POTW on Monday because it was memorial day and I was up north so I didn't have WiFi for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Right now my computer is annoying me because on the top left hand corner, the screen pops out a little.  When it does that I have to push it back in and it wastes like 1 second of my precious time.

Web Browser Snap Shot

I am still working on the web browser and there are still some glitches but I should be able to fix them soon.  I am going to put a picture of what it looks like so far.  One thing that I want to fix is when you type something in the URL bar, you have to press the search button and you can't press enter.  I keep for getting that and it can get annoying.

New Phone

I am going to get a phone in 3 or 4 months and I am really excited.  It will probably be an IPhone 5.  Probably not a for and almost definitely not a 6 or 6+.  Now I can't think of anything more to write about.  I am just going to stop now.

Post of the Week

The post of the week was Web Issues.  It had the most pageviews.  Don't worry, I am still trying to fix the web browser but for the past 3 days I have been up north in a cottage on Lake Michigan and I have had no reception and no chance to work on it.

Web Issues

My computer has a glitchy internet connection.  When I got it there was no wifi so we had to take it in and it was fixed.  Now the wifi sometimes glitches but it is mostly good.  The web browser I made yesterday worked in the editor but not when I actually built the application.  I am going to put it on a flash drive an transfer is to another computer and test it.  If it works I will publish it tomorrow.

Web Browser

I am creating my own web browser.  My computer has never let me download the software before but it just downloaded so I am going to make one.  I will post a download link to it tomorrow and I will show you how to make it.  If you want to be prepared for when I tell you, then download the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.  That is what I am making it on.  Here is a link to download the visual basic.

So Bored

I can't think of anything to write about. The End

Electrical Equipment

Well, my post about the pressure plate is attracting a lot of attention so I might do more of my posts about electrical things like that.  Sorry that I forgot to post yesterday but I just didn't feel like it.  The good thing about people liking my posts about electrical stuff is that I like doing electrical stuff.  I am going to try to make a video about how to make a pressure plate tonight then I will post it to Youtube and post the video to my blog tomorrow.  I am having a problem with building all these things, and that problem is that I have run out of wires.  That means I have to roll up big strips a aluminum foil.  Using those materials is not very good because the wires are very clunky and difficult to attach the normal wires.  If you want to see my post about the pressure plate the click HERE to get to it.

Pressure Plate

Today when I got home from school, I made a pressure plate.  It took me about 30-45 minutes to do it but it was pretty easy.  I'm not going to show you how to do it in this post but if I have time to, I will make a Youtube video about how to do it.  It is a very simple contraption but it still took work to think up a way to do it and then put that thought into action.  I made it so that when you step on it or press it hard with your hand, it will activate a motor.  It does need a battery but that doesn't matter because if you were setting a trap you could hide the battery or just use really long wires so the battery would be out of site.  Here is a picture.  [It is very low quality because I had to use the camera on my computer and not the phone]

You have to step on the cardboard part for it to work.  You could also make it activate an alarm that makes a loud beeping noise.

Fireballs

Yesterday, I found out hot you can make fireballs that you can actually hold and throw.  They are kind of hot so you have to juggle them between your hands but they are very easy to make.  All you need is cotton balls, hand sanitizer (with 70% ethanol or more), and a lighter or matches.  What you do is you put some hand sanitizer on the cotton ball and spread it around.  Then you light it on fire.

Smoke Bombs

Last night I made a smoke bomb.  It had toxic smoke so I wasn't allowed to do it anymore.  It is very simple to make.  All you need is
1.Knife and Scissors
2.Pen
3.Lighter/matches
4.ping pong balls
5.aluminum foil

Here is a link to the video about it.

Phone Charger

A little while ago I made a portable phone charger.  I used a car charger, then hooked it up to some batteries and put it in a box.  Then you plug the phone into it and it will charge.  It s useful if you are in the middle of nowhere.  You have to put the red wire on the top and the black wire on the right side.  Here are some pictures.
