Check out this event I learned about & team Mojavaton
Team Mojavaton was Western Colorado's competitors in the 2005 and 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge. The DARPA Grand Challenge is a race for unmanned, autonomous vehicles. Each car had a computer system, a variety of sensors which allow the vehicles to control themselves without human interaction which means no remote or human intervention. No person went in the car people only watched. The DARPA Challenge is a research project of Arlington, Virginia for a mandate by the year 2015 one third of military vehicles be autonomous compatable in order to save soldiers' lives.

My add to wikipedia
I added some ideas on a discussion tab I though would cool to add to the page about Cancun, Mexico on wikipedia.org. I added in the discussion tab some of the activities someone could do at the Isla de Mujeres there on the Cancun page on wikipedia. For example I mentioned that while at Isla de Mujeres there are bike rides and great food. The title of my discussion is What I think..

Check out my photos on flickr.com
Be sure to check out my pictures on flicr.com!!! The photos I have on flickr.com were pictures I took myself while I was in Cancun, Mexico in July of 2006. Most all of my photos have a restriction set where others can't use my photos for commercial purposes or to make money off them. I chose this because if I won't make money off the photos I didn't fell right letting others either. Two of my photos I restricted letting others change them. I have a photo out on the ocean of Cancun and a picture of a hotel I was staying at in Cancun and I chose to restrict altering them because I really liked those photos how they were to begin with. I also have a photo which I like at a Myan Ruin I was at while in Cancun. Since I liked this photo so much and was proud of it I set a licence where others must give me some credit. I hope you take some time and look at my photos so check them out!!! Just click here to view http://www.flickr.com/photos/25149744@N05/
Be Sure to listen to my podcast!!!
Hello. I was just leaving a note to tell everyone to please check out my podcast about Cancun, Mexico. I was in Cancun for the summer of 2006. I really enjoyed my time in Cancun so be sure to listen to my podcast. Here is the link http://www.mesastate.edu/~apoole/my%201%20st%20podcast%20ap.mp3 . To make this I used a program called audacity which records my voice and then I used a microphone plugged in the computer and speak into the microphone knowing what I wanted to say before I spoke. I then saved the recording after cutting some places I thought a pause was to long using an cut option in audacity. I then saved the recording as an mp3 and put the podcast on here. Thanks for visiting my page and don't forget to listen to my podcast.
