So hey, hi, hello, aloha, guten tag, in GT, in today, we are working on making composite images. So now you may be asking yourself "Oh wow, just more pictures bundled up, isn't one enough for you guys?" and the answer is no, it'll never be yes. You see, panoramas and the Tiny Spherical worlds you guys see, they aren't one picture, if you were to see one picture of all that were used, you'd probably see only 20% of the view you get from a panorama. Now you're probably all like "Whoa, I can't believe I didn't know that, I should give Micah a high five" and yes, yes you should. Well if you hopefully saw someone else's blog (They're all cool, check em out.) You should know what the types of Panoramas are. But do you really know them? HMMMMHHH? Well just incase you don't let me tell you about them. So a polar panorama is like your own mini world, simply put, more advance-ly put however, it's a panorama warped to have the bottom circle around and the top to follow the same pattern, which usually ends it off making it look like a mini world. Now what's a spherical panorama, ok let me sum it up, the world is the air and the air is the world, man, that couldn't be more vague. And what makes my amazingly amazing worlds so convincing, simple *~PHOTOSHOP MAGIC :D~* And hard work. But what is said is right, and wrong, well yes we use photoshop and yes it's pretty diddly dang magical, it's too vague. We use the stamp tool (Which is 40% magic.) to copy the surroundings of the world and to piece it together so you know, theres not just a massive line that cuts through the universe, unless, that's normal for you. And we also put some refining touches on the pieces we felt could be refined but uh, I'm at that point where I neeedd tooo sayyyy!
This is (Or is it?) Micah, signing off.

He-e-e-e-e-y-y-y-y-y! It's me Micah, with a new blogpost, and a new day, so uh we are currently working on photomontages, like David Hockney's, but not like Davey Hockney, how? Let me enlighten you. Well uh, actually, it's pretty close to David Hockney BUT, BUT! David Hockney didn't have photoshop, and he I guess, pasted them together manually? Atleast his first one (Hey, don't look at me, it's hard to do this stuff) Welp now that we've talked enough about images, lets talk more about images :3. Photographs, no matter what... No uh, matter what, are an art form. They can bring a variety of emotions, from happy to sad, from angry to hopeful, and from not viewing a picture and viewing a picture so in fact there are plenty of emotions that come from photographs. The way you might feel sad from a picture is an over abundance of blue, a theme on a darker shade or something emotionally triggering like a sad puppy, oh what? Did you expect me to give you a cheesy answer? But the way something happy could occur is basically the same slash opposite, Warm yellows, an abundance of light, and something hopeful like a flower reaching to the sky. *Takes off tinfoil hat* So yeah, now what am I, me, myself, planning to represent in my future (or current depending on when you're viewing this) photomontage, so let me tell you. I took pictures of a vase of flowers, I mean this to represent me because, I'm colorful (Metaphorically, you don't see me wearing neon pink pants or anything like that.). Another reason is that I attempt to standout and not blend into a crowd, just giving people more of a reason to say, "Hey it's him", Instead of "Hey there they are.". And lastly, I attempt to appreciate nature, for all it's worth it's worth all of it :). It's micah sigh-neigh-ing of-f
Hey, hi, hola. whoa! I haven't seen you since 2015 (Warning: Joke may or may not work.) Hey hey hey, So it's 2016 and I know that's going to cause me trouble with my writing. But enough about new dates and time to talk about resolutions, or uh, just things I wanna get done. One: I'm going to attempt to be more patient, unless people are really ticking me off *staring at linden (>.>)*. Zwei: Not really a goal I guess? But finish the webcomic I'm reading, it's too good to pass up. Three but in a different language: Become meme-yer then ever. Quatro: Trying my best to be more courageous and taking initiative. eviF: Try to get my homework done, on time (,o_o). So yæh, well what goal am I focused on most?... Probably the webcomic one but that's no fun (And barely a goal.). Instead I'm going to try my best to be more confident and uh, nope, no wait thats it. But why do I want to be more confident, well I've honestly always felt a bit disconected about my actions, and I think being confident will just allow me to jump without a safety net, if that's a way to explain it. So yeah, but don't think I'm just forgetting about the other goals, they're just uh, lesser priorities, I suppose. Uh, uhm... Steps to take, so my goal will be more successful, or just successful in a whole. Well I guess it'd just be more or less not worrying about actions I do or being fearful about dumb things. Another good thing would probably be taking more risks and doing actions with the chance of failure and being ok with it. And lastly the step I'd take is uh, find groups of supportive friends, who will be there to help me when I need it, and to laugh at me when I deserve it, and me to laugh along, so yeah, might be a bit corny but that's the things I think I should be doing to help myself further my goals, so until next time. This is Micah, signing off, of MSPA. *wink*
Hey, hi, hello, good mornin', how's it goin', what's the haps, what's up?... Heyo.
So in GT we're making scratch videogames! If the title wasn't obvious enough, but if you pay attention, video gameS, plural, so expect to be playing some grade A+ games sometime soon. Oop- Got offtrack. The game all of us just made is a chase game, which usually is a person chasing you and you have to escape them for a certain amount of time and then you get a gold medal, a diet Dr. Pepper, and some pocket change. But being the cool guy hipster I am, I made it so YOU, have to chase someone else, while being chased, under a time limit. Player input was also a big part because I had my BFFSTN (Best Friend for some time now) Beta/Alpha testing, more beta testing because I was just ironing out bugs (Thanks 2 Jason) and Linden helped too, their input helped me decide quite a few things, and ignore completely garbage other things, thanks again guys!
Now don't think just because I made all the games that they are the same. Each game has their own special uniquity about it... Uniquity, uniqueness? Yeah, uniqueness, like the platformer uses a gravity engine, you won't see that in the chase games code. Also the chase game uses a indefinite point to sprite command so it would be possible for the guys to chase you. However they each are somewhat equally paced, well, depending on how you play. And the last difference is that the chase game and platformer games have far different designs, from stickman drawing to guys with motorcycle helmets, my designs are truly mine.
So the best code I wrote would have to be also the best bug fix. Quote unquote "Project: Red Keds." yep, thank me for the wondrous name, there was a huge bug in my platformer that would cause the character problems when they were landing, pretty sure it was pretty annoying but I don't remember precisely. Why is it named project: red keds you may ask? Because it literally uses red keds, the thing on the stickman's feet are shoes, they detect the ground underneath him and is also the reason he can jump, land and work in a whole. How interesting that I could attribute the games success to a pair of red shoes.
This is normally where I would say good bye but I feel my freedom game requires some explanation, first of all it's based off of toby fox's undertale, second of all here's some instructions
Use arrow keys to move. White attacks hurt, blue attacks hurt if you don't stay still, and orange attacks hurt if you stay still, green attacks will heal you, and there's 5 endings, have fun :3 This is Micah, jumping into a bath full of tacos!
Are the haters gone yet? Can I start making jokes again?
So buenos dias guys! It's me, Micah Miller... The only, the best™. And in GT we just finished our commercial, and I can personally say, I enjoy it. Now if you didn't read the image right, above this paragraph, or below the beginning sentence, we actually made a convertible shirt, of course our main goals were to make sure it was working, the commercial to give enough information (...But not too much.), and to make sure the commercial was so funny you could see past linden's bad acting, ba-daum-tis, we achieved in all of those goals, well not perfectly for the making sure it works because the velcro is pretty hard to remove but, it's the commercial that counts.
The best team moment eh? Well I'd have to say it would be instead, not just one moment, but a category of them, I think voice overs was the best but that would be somewhat... Bias, Is that the right word? Well let me explain it in this way, fun for me, less fun for my teammates, so the real one would have to be editing because we were all in sync and had a fun time working together. Even if someone did a bit more work then others and vice versa. Pssst... The guy who did most of the work is me. (I kid, you linden and cody, pleasedontburnmyhousedown.)
Ok now about the editing, I felt like I was the driver there, cody was more of a director/camera man and linden was a... Well it rhymes with kamera houg (The U is silent.). So I chose most of the filters, edited the sounds to what we needed but linden lined up the voice over and that stuff. Now we each did our part because we were best at it, I'm pretty good at coding, Lindens good at, what I said, and Cody's a pretty cool guy and did a good job at filming. Now while I should just do the joke that I'm the best one here, that joke is soooo five seconds ago, now I just cut off in the middle of my sen-
Tis' the season to eat turkey, falalala, bye I'm micah. (In tune of Tis' the season to be jolly.)
Sooooooooooooo Good 'Merican Monday (Or whatever day.) and in GT we are doing... Or did actually, a COMPOSITION SCAVENGER HUNT! *Explosion* so yeah.
The whole thing was a blast and a great learning experience too! I feel like all the shots we did were fun and definitely things you can learn from but I feel that we should take a moment and appreciate the unusual things... I'm talking about unusual angles. Why am I saying that unusual angles are so awesome, well I'm not so be quiet and sit down, the reason why I'm bringing them up however is that out of all the shots we took, unusual angles definitely took off with flying colors. Now an unusual angle is a angle taken... Unusually, like in the garbage, getting thrown in the garbage, or BEING THE GARBAGE. Now that sounds awesome right? WELL IT IS! SO IF YOU SAID NO THEN YOU'RE WRONG. Unusual angles add that bit of spice to already awesome things, like if a Secret agent is talking on the phone, gets angry, and you get a view of the phone getting thrown into the garbage through the eye of the phone! SO AWESOME.
Now... The most difficult of all of the super duper ultra omega amazing incredible composition techniques THE- One... that I said, unusual angles are a blessing as they are a curse, it's hard to film them, as hard to think of them but they are a boon in disguise, as you, as the film maker learn how to film better, problem solve, as the viewer, might be you, will get the awesome effect of someone falling off a building in first person view. A way I could use them more would generally be filming more, and making maybe, jury rigged structures to get those views. Last thing I could think of would be taking selfies at unusual angles... But who actually wants to see a fat twelve year old on instagram... Even though fat twelve year olds still do that. (I'm looking at you Biebs)
So ahem, my friends did nothing and I was super cool *Fin*
Ok so maybe that isn't exactly true... But uh if I have to be honest we kinda did a bit of everything, I'm pretty sure I did the least amount of filming but still being the MVP on the team, right guys guys Hello, Linden, Cody, someone? But yeah, linden was the director of it, unoffically though, me and Cody were the people you- So good mornin' country men, today in GT we are learning about the programmers language, coding, Binary is the other programmers language, And being a nerd is their primary! OOOOOOH! BURN! But nah, programmers are fantastic! My dad is one aswell! He works for microsoft, and while it is a great pastime I wouldn't force anyone to do it, I would hold someone at gunpoint to do it but that's not forcing... Right? Hmh... Well speaking of my family's "Rich" coding history, why don't I tell you the closest time I got to coding. It was uh... When, linden, was on scratch making a game, I think I tried coding... Or just yelling at him to add something. But whatever, ha! Just kidding, kinda, the first time wasn't really that impressive, so I won't say much, it was a video game (Warcraft) And I was trying to make a quest on the system- Which needless to say turned into a hot mess because I knew nothing about coding at that time. But it was fun to do them much simpler thing of creating customized units with special abilities and stuff, Ahh... Horribly aged nostalgia. (My purple colored guy with four hundred million health will destroy all! Muhahahahaha!) Now speaking of videogames, If I had the chance to make one I know in my heart what I would want. (I would want to know which video game I would want to make...) Which would probably be a FPS with a strange twist. It would probably be Zero-G and use interesting design choices to immerse and amaze the player with interesting ways to play, multiple game modes, and no giant spaghetti monsters (Maybe one giant spaghetti monster). Over all the game would be fun and amazing and fun and awesome and fun! So this is Mįçåh signing ouuuutttt!
Country men! Lend me your ears, or eyes in this case, because it's a blog.

So uh, hi, it's me again, Micah. AND TODAY I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT MY COMEDY SKIT!!! *Confetti* Woo! So... I'm just going on a rant here, I got a lot of bad ratings on my comedy skit which I feel is unjustified and- (Time skip) -and that's why potatoes will never be president, whoa did I spend five years already? Oh well, the things I learned from this project would be how to film, and add effects, both audible and visual in iMovie and how to be really cool, oh wait! I already knew how to do that. I also learned how hard it is to align the B-Roll with the A-Roll, other then that I knew most of it.
MORE LIKE COMEDY... "Righting"... HA-HA-HA-HA... I'm funny. (No, no you are not.) So- What's up! Because of the nature of this post I'm likely to be... Very punny, so you know, be on the look-in for that... You know, this may sound useless and just dumb, but a sense of humor is a great trait for someone to have. Humor is what I deem a perfect cure, if used correctly, like seriously! It's applications are limitless! Like if someone broke up, in a party, or just making a meme on the side bar of my blog :). But srsly, humor also a good trait to have when talking, it can brighten someones day or bring up a funny topic, so. Remember to be funny. Doesanybodyneedanytips?... I bet you do! Oh er, you don't? Ok... Erm WHATEVER, TIPS 4 U Micah's WAAYYYY better five tips on how to make a Joke. Alrighty, first things first, USING YOUR BRAIN... Simple right? Well not always, sometimes people can find trouble focusing on a joke, and what I mean by, USING YOUR BRAIN, is planning on the joke that you want to make, like a Doctor joke Ex. The doctor does something dumb, just to give you an Idea, SECOND-Dery! Plan how the joke will play out, not so simple, there are multiple ways to make a joke play out, like either, Punchline-less, Punchline, or Shock which is basically punchline, but it's funny because it isn't expected, and Punchline-less is essentially just a funny story. Third! Think about your planned audience, if you are going to tell this joke at a Pre-school it's probably not a good idea to make the joke to complex or inappropriate, Ex. "Whats the difference between a snowman and a snow-woman... SNOW BALLS!"... You are very likely going to lose your snowballs as well if you tell that joke. And lastly... Really, really think about your audience, like don't tell a black joke while in the ghetto, and don't tell a joke about old farts in a retirement home... Just, trust me on this one ok?.. So if you followed all of those you should be on your way to joke stardom... Or at least the nearest comedy club. Well as for my Comedic Monolog, which is super awesome and better then everyone else's. It's going to be a-bunch of piled skits, most of which are going to make zero sense, and by most, I mean all. BUT REMEMBER WHAT I SAID AWHILE AGO... Shock jokes! That's my favorite kind of jokes and what I use for jokes, Exam-pull, 'Why did the Chicken cross the road', 'To join the soviet union.' IT'S DUMB BUT WORKS ALL THE TIME SIXTY PERCENT OF THE TIME. And if you don't see why that's funny THEN YOU'RE A COMMIE, or someone with actual sense but nah, shock jokes are really funny because of the unexpectedness of it. Hopefully you may actually laugh when you see it.
This is Micah and uh- I-I, crud, screwed up the ending... Bye! HEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYooooooooo How's it going guys In GT we are working on Motivational! You know? the cat thing... But better then the cat thing. We have a lot of requirements, one, we have to have six layers, one is a picture of us, three of them are symbols that represent me, and finally two layers of Manifesto and personal quotes. We also have to Kern the text layer to make sure there is no empty spaces and use a Triadic color scheme of one color with two accent colors.We have to then quote on quote "Weigh" the balance of our visuals to make sure it looks pleasing and isn't too dominant or unpleasing by using proper blending techniques and adjustment layers on the images... Actually now that I talked about it seems erm... "Less hard" then it was before hand... Who knows, this may be really really fun! SO A STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION OF HOW WE FINISHED THIS PROJECT [°Caps lock] Er... Yeah, well we had to first! Take three pictures of a symbol that represented us... That was before we even worked on the poster. Then we had to write our personal manifesto, look down if you actually want to see it. And AFTER THAT! We had to make some personal quotes... Mine were the best of everyone, (Not subjective at all... Oh, hey. I'm back too... You know, the parenthesis guy? Who insults Micah?... Memories...). AND THEN WE HAD TO! [°Caps lock] Er... How does the caps lock keep going on. (Might be me.) And then we had to write it in Photoshop, add our symbols and a portrait of me in... BISH BASH EDITING BOOSH! THEN WE ARE DONE! [°Caps lock] The biggest challenge would have to be(e)... I guess it would have to be(e) editing the text. Honestly the project was pretty easy.. I just kinda screwed a bit of it up but that was before... I mean the text was fun but also challenging because of the editing I had to do. I mean, really the project may have been harder when I was working on it but now that it's over I'm... Not really sure how it played out in my emotions... But whatever I got a sweeeetttt picture and that's good enough for me.
