Danielle and I spent several hours recording voice overs for the characters.  My friend Josh came in to do the voice of the snake.  After I had all the sounds I needed, including a piece of wood falling on a pillow to make the thud shound, I sat down with a hand full of still images to make a dvd.  The process was the most fun.  As I am neither an artist or an engineer I found most of my pleasure for this class in the 5 hours of creating the dvd.  Audio Production is my hobby of choice.  If I were to continue with making art, I feel I would bring more of an audio implementiation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After loosing my computer to a faulty hard drive, I haven't been able to document my code or tales of pre-Final Friday.  I spent my friday by looking for t.v.'s and setting up a mess of a project.  Thankfully I had thought out most of my project before hand and the final product was very achievable.  I lost all my code, because for some reason my power supply shorted out and took my hard drive with it.  My code was basically using a "if else... if else... if" command to check for distances in the sensor, by using the class code.  I also, on powerup, allowed the dvd player to start up and loop the dvd by using the a-b control.  The method was exactly the same as the night at the lab... Just ground it!  The start up switch simply shut off the dvd player.  Danille really made the project complete by adding a creative spraypaint chalk in the form of a hop-scotch set up.  Children and a few adults found a great deal of pleasure in dancing in the boxes switching the video.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-114741638277753341?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/114741638277753341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=114741638277753341' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114741638277753341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114741638277753341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/05/struggles-of-final-friday.html' title='Struggles of Final Friday'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-114741569762962425</id><published>2006-05-11T23:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-11T23:34:57.783-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Review #4</title><content type='html'>Exhibition: Women, Sex, and Art&lt;br /&gt;Shawn Wiggins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday, February 24, 2006 I attended the Reception for the Firehouse Gallery's hosting of works by Amanda Dickson, Kate Johnson, Danielle Kling, Cynthia Martinez, and Megahn Regnier.  The showing was more personal than most art displays, because I was partners with Danielle, friends with Cynthia, and my girlfriend was roommates with Megahn.  I may just need to development my maturity in art, but I found the display a little challenging to view, because of the relationships I had with the girls.  As a man I realize the expressiveness that most woman are choked not to share, but I really felt like I wasn't sapposed to be their to view the projects.  After gathering my maturity and a few pieces of cheese I browsed the selections.  Each piece was very similiar in the fact they all showed the viewer a new side of the artist most, even friends, wouldn't see.  Besides a physical expression I realized more of a eagerness to share from the artist then in most shows I attend.  I learned a lot from the show, because of the fact I had to overcome a typical stumbling point for men viewing female sexual expressive art.  Once I realized my stupidity I found a new level of maturity in the women and myself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-114741569762962425?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/114741569762962425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=114741569762962425' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114741569762962425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114741569762962425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/05/review-4.html' title='Review #4'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-114741479818728880</id><published>2006-05-11T23:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-11T23:20:31.276-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Review #3</title><content type='html'>Sigur Ros&lt;br /&gt;Shawn Wiggins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 22, 2006 Sigur Ros, an icelandic rock band, took control of The Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, MO.  Starting the concert the four female orchestra members of Sigur Ros performed a short selection of instrumental songs as a concert warm up.  The woman spoke quietly, dressed in velvet, and made life come from cold instruments.  The girls, as well as most modern European bands, use a wide variety of traditional instruments.  Many types of xylophones lined the stage.  The girls also made use of a few electronic instruments and computerization.  The music created, almost improvised, made you feel completely happy.  After making a few mistakes the girls were able to complete their set with smiles across their faces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After listening to many fans of Sigur Ros talk about their religious faith in this band during the intermission, the lights dimmed and a curtian closed!  The band started off their set by playing a fan favorite Glossili behind a giant white sheet, illimuniated from the rear.  The band owned everyone's mind and heart.  The dynamics of the band are a triat lacking by most rock bands, but when implemented are very simple.  The simple loud, soft, and loud again dynamics are wonderful until they become predictable.  The tone of several keyboards, string quartet, and full band took the attention away from the single musicial asspect of dynamics and back to the music itself.  The band played songs that pleased many of their fans, and they left the audience wanting more.  After the show many people still proclaimed their love and, sadly, their faith in a rock band.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-114741479818728880?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/114741479818728880/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=114741479818728880' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114741479818728880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114741479818728880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/05/review-3.html' title='Review #3'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-114722277304212003</id><published>2006-05-09T17:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-09T17:59:33.230-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Review #2</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;Nickel Creek with The Ditty Bops&lt;br /&gt;Shawn Wiggins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Tuesday, March 21, 2006 Nickel Creek with special guest The Ditty Bops gave Wichita residents a wonderful concert at the historic Orpheum Theatre. Amanda, Abby, and two other men took the stage as The Ditty Bops. Heavily influenced by early 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century country music, the girls added a new twist. This was my first time hearing this group, and songs were songs that one could easily tap their foot to, but the girls creatively added props and wonderful facial expressions to each song. The influence of the added measures was outstanding. Each song became a mini comedy show. Some really did make you think about the situations they were describing. The foursome left the stage with a well satisfied audience. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;After an intermission stalled with technical difficulties, Nickel Creek proudly took the stage. Although Wichita's audience was more familiar with the band's more traditional bluegrass sound, the band wasn't scared to offer their new expressive side. The audience took more rock influenced songs with great appreciation. Sean, Sara, and Chris came across as the audience's best friends. Each song was professional to the point most if one error was made the performers took the song to new levels. Toward the end of the set each member played a solo piece. Sean played a new song off his new album, Sara played one of her favorite cover songs, and Chris reminded us of Bach's birthday with a wonderful performance of a Bach solo violin piece, performed on the mandolin. Chris clearly stole the spotlight with the technically difficult piece. Nickel Creek finished their performance by huddling around a single condenser microphone, in a traditional bluegrass style, and make the show feel like a backyard picnic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-114722277304212003?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/114722277304212003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=114722277304212003' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114722277304212003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114722277304212003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/05/review-2.html' title='Review #2'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-114722133384747627</id><published>2006-05-09T17:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-09T17:36:37.246-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Review #1</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;WSU Concert Band and WSU Symphonic Wind Ensemble&lt;br /&gt;Shawn Wiggins&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;Monday, May 08, 2006 Wichita State University hosted the WSU Concert Band and WSU Symphonic Wind Ensemble in Miller concert hall. The night started off with the WSU Concert Band, conducted by Professor Brian Silvey. The first piece, A festival Prelude, started off slightly out of tune, but since it was a short piece, the intonation was not a major concern. The band quickly played With Each Sunset by Richard Saucedo. The first half of the Concert Band's performance was concluded with a performance by Cody Procter and the band. They performed Portrait of a Clown as Cody acted as a Mime, using body expressions to emphasize the music being played. Besides the moment of costume troubles the piece was really enjoyable. Next Craig Kirchhoff, a worldly known conductor, entered the stage. He effortlessly lead the band through Procession of the Nobles. Following the University of Minnesota conductor, Kirchhoff, a Graduate Conducting Assistant, Paula Leshkevich, took the command of the band. She calmly led the band through His Honor by Henry Fillmore. The band concluded with the religiously based tune, Laude.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;After the intermission the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, led by Dr. Victor Markovich, lined the stage with brass players. A few brass players were also sent into the audience. The group proudly performed FanFare Canzoniques. The sound was powerful and majestic, and the musicians performed as one large instrument. After the first piece another ensemble, featuring four of WSU's excellent horn players, took the spot light. Konzertstuck by Robert Schumann brought a few members of the audience to their feet. The song was a real honor to the horn department. Finally Kirchhoff returned to the stage and led the full wind ensemble in an epic, thirteen minute, piece Lincolnshire Posy.

I'll take the "pin" from the chip... into a 1k resistor..into a transistor... then into the relay which will "connect" the video signal with the matched pin/monitor.  I'll just use the similiar idea with an led i used....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here is some test code i ran to see if i could switch a led when i got close to the sensor:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to go&lt;br /&gt;init&lt;br /&gt;clearbit 7 portb-ddr        ; set as output&lt;br /&gt;clearbit 7 portb        ; turn off led&lt;br /&gt;loop&lt;br /&gt;[   &lt;br /&gt;ifelse (getvalue &lt; 300)    ; if you are closer than 300 us&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;br /&gt;print getvalue&lt;br /&gt;setbit 7 portb        ; turn on led&lt;br /&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;br /&gt;print getvalue&lt;br /&gt;clearbit 7 portb    ; else turn it off&lt;br /&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;wait 4   &lt;br /&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;end&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;There are a few glitches, but they may have to wait because my eyes are getting heavy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;As far as the video jog/control...

We are going to make a dvd with 4 sections.  Each loopable (like a dvd title track that loops forever).  Next we'll have three "important distances"  x1 x2 x3.  The dvd will always start and restore to the first section.  As soon as the furthest distance x1 is signaled lights will turn on... the move will loop the second section and have accesss to the jog/shuttle control... allow the view to move back and forth between the x1 distance and the upcoming x2 distance.  Once x2 is met then the dvd will skip to section 3 and loop until the view moves accessing the jog/shuttle control... so on and so forth.&lt;br /&gt; I need to find a dvd player to experiment with the a desired controller. (usually in the shape of a wheel).  If anyone has any thoughts on where to find one (cheeply) let me know.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-114240099107399007?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/114240099107399007/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=114240099107399007' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114240099107399007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114240099107399007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/03/finding-dvd-player.html' title='Finding a DVD player'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-114188512556334705</id><published>2006-03-08T22:15:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-08T22:21:17.206-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Final Project Outline</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://wikihost.org/wikis/techartsound/var/gebo/data/file/finalprojectoutline.doc"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;view outline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4242/1787/1600/shootme.ru-10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4242/1787/320/shootme.ru-10.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-114188512556334705?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/114188512556334705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=114188512556334705' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114188512556334705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/114188512556334705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/03/final-project-outline_114188512556334705.html' title='Final Project Outline'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-114128606067201714</id><published>2006-03-01T23:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-02T00:03:11.330-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Project Troubles</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img-2005-04.photosight.ru/20/830293.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://img-2005-04.photosight.ru/20/830293.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Project assignment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we hadn't really thought about using the logochip in our project until this week, we haven't had a chance to jump into the coding of the trigger in our project.

I had a blast being able, for a brief time, share ideas towards the project.  I felt as if there was "less" talk and more production of ideas, although it was much "what ifs."  We "attempted" to combine our ideas for the sake of direction, but still left room for our own personal input.  I've learned several things from the two artists I've met with, Ann and Danielle.  I'm eager to meet with some of the male artists to get a different approach on these projects.  We will see if two x's are better than one.

I delete them and save... but still no luck because they return.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-113885161765389032?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/113885161765389032/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=113885161765389032' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/113885161765389032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/113885161765389032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/02/pd-hello-world_01.html' title='pd &quot;Hello World&quot;'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-113770450722064973</id><published>2006-01-19T12:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-19T13:25:46.066-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Final Project Brainstorm</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I have no idea what to expect in this course, so I'm going to just blurt out my idea.&lt;br /&gt;I would like to work with a studio arts major to design a model of a human and design a display.&lt;br /&gt;The head would be able to move and communicate with preloaded sound files and the display would show pictures or other "artsy" things. The point I'm trying to motivate is "man vs. culture". I'm not trying to be rebelious, but just show two sides, one from a talking head (the man) and one from a display of inturpreted art, of a issue in todays culture. I don't know the limits of working with synthetics or other sculpting materials, so I'm looking for a student how likes to build and maybe has a interest in painting, sketching...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My idea for the head is to have two pivit points to allow the simulation of a xy plane and a senser which follows ... soemthing (idea still). The mouth will open and close to reveal a small speaker. The speaker will produce sounds of advertising the issue and trying to produce profit while being inturrepted by random noises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My idea for the display is a heart shaped container which displays images of the issue showing a non agressive approach to the issue. Wether the images are digital or real I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is my idea.  Please let me know if you are interested.&lt;br /&gt;~~~ One important this is realize that I don't know how anything is going to work, so it will be a challenge for anyone involved. I can't and don't know how to do everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21217837-113770450722064973?l=22fretter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/feeds/113770450722064973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21217837&amp;postID=113770450722064973' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/113770450722064973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21217837/posts/default/113770450722064973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://22fretter.blogspot.com/2006/01/final-project-brainstorm.html' title='Final Project Brainstorm'/><author><name>22fretter</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21217837.post-113769931950026243</id><published>2006-01-19T11:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-06T10:06:18.556-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Art and Sound Design</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4242/1787/1600/AALX001481.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4242/1787/320/AALX001481.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hello! My name is Shawn Wiggins. I hope to bridge the gap, in this course, between the fine arts students and the engineers.
