Economics - Lesson 5

 Preliminary examinations are now over and we are back on track. We can't stop studying lessons. So now, here is the copy of the presentation of lesson 5 in economics. Good luck on the second half of the sem.

 Convergys Philippines, the BIGGEST & the BEST call center in the country today, is currently hiring candidates for a leading worldwide communications provider in the US. These Customer Service Experts will be housed in the lifestyle & fashion center of Makati, Glorietta 5.

The good news is that there is an on-going online job fair which started August 13 and will last until September 11. These candidates will have a chance to win a 16gb Apple iPad by registering. This is no joke.

Goodbye, Google Wave

GOOGLE is shutting down Google Wave, its web-based program that lets people chat, share files and collaborate on documents in real time.


In a blog post, Google said Wave "set a high bar for what was possible in a web browser".


In September last year, Google began inviting people to test Wave, which merges email, online chat, social networking and "wiki" style group access to web pages or documents. With the Wave, email or instant messages blossom into shared online arenas where anyone in the exchange can edit documents, add digital content, or comment at any time.

First Major Exams are Now Over

 My first preliminary examinations as a mechanical engineering student is now over. And I only have one thing to say, it is completely different compared to the major exams during my first and second year in engineering.

The exams for this sem has eaten 5 days while the whole 1st two years consistently used 4 days. The thing is that everyday it felt like I'm going to have an exam on a major subject so basically I can't afford to waste time. The subjects are more technical now compared to last year's subjects. This coming week there is still a preliminary exam for Kinematics where we will draw within 3 hours. Good luck for me.


This is only the beginning.

iTouch App: Ultimate Guitar Tabs

 Ultimate Guitar Tabs is an easy and convenient application for viewing guitar tabs, bass tabs, chords, and even drums tabs. Apparently, UG is the only mobile application giving us unlimited access to the world's largest database of Tabs from Ultimate-Guitar.com.

Here are the three winners of Sony VAIO M Series. Congratulations to the winners!

Thank you for participating the contest from our site. Hope to see you here again for the next contests. Cheers!

If you are still not contented, feel free to check out Sony Philippines site.

Machine Shop - Machining Hand-out

 The compilation of the hand-out from Ariel's profile is now accessible and ready to be downloaded. I compiled 63 pages in all. I know this would be tough for us but don't lose the determination to finish all of it. I know we can do it. Good luck!

Tomorrow will be the last day of our preliminary examination and I hope that all of us will be happy with the result of the exams. Feel free to click our ads seen on the right sidebar, top header, and bottom part of the site.

Kinematics - Instantaneous Axis (Plate #3)

 Here's my third plate. Like my second plate, it's about Velocity Analysis. I made this plate right after drawing the second one. It took me 2.5 hours to completely finish the plate. I had a hard time drawing it because the instantaneous axis of the links are too far, so I have to use a big compass. Here's the compass used by my classmate while making this plate.

Facebook 100th Like Achieved!

Days have passed so easily and Journey to Mechanical Engineering is now on its 4th week. As the time goes by, many friends, colleagues and even strangers visited our site. Early this week, our Facebook likes has reached over 100! Take a look at it.

Kinematics - Resolution and Composition (Plate #2)

 My second plate is about Velocity Analysis using the resolution and composition method. Velocity analysis is a graphical technique used for the determination of the velocities of the parts of a mechanical device, specially those of a plane mechanism with rigid component links. It was the first lesson on my Kinematics class and my third plate is also about velocity analysis using the instantaneous axis method.

The drawing itself is not that hard but you need to be very careful in executing the steps. Analyzing the problem is much more difficult. The more complex the linkage are the harder it will be. My second plate isn't that complicated but it took me about 3 hours just to finish this plate and I hope I will get a high grade on it.

iTouch App: Skype

 Yes, Skype is now available for iTouch and iPhone devices. You can now call Skype-to-Skype, wherever you are - either on 3G or WiFi! The good real good news is that it's completely free to call your buddies on Skype via WiFi, and free on 3G until the end of 2010. Isn't it great? This is a must-have application for all.

Machine Shop Shirt is Here!

UST Mechanical Engineering - Machine Shop

 The long-awaited Machine Shop shirt has finally arrived! Cheers, 3MEA. After waiting for almost half of a semester, we won't be entering the building wearing black shirts with random prints. We are now united as one. I feel like we are just about to start our Machine Shop class when we already finished a project.

Management - Chapter 7 & 8

Chapter 7

Chapter 8

 Here are the last two chapters included in the preliminary examination on Management. The scope is from chapter 4 to 8. You can access chapters 4 to 6 HERE.

Good luck on the exam. Study well.

NOTE:

Access the schedule of our preliminary examinations in the Calendar of Events of 3MEA, scroll down until you reach the bottom of this page.

iTouch App: Promodoro

 Promodoro is a time management application based on the Pomodoro technique. This technique allows you to get the most out of time management. Turn time into a valuable ally to accomplish what you want to do and chart continuous improvement in the way you do it.

Meebo Widget: Communicate to Your Visitors

 Time to communicate to your readers with the aid of Meebo Me. Meebo Me is designed for anyone with a home on the web. If you've got a web page where you'd like to communicate with your visitors, meebo me allows you to see the people who are visiting your web page and chat with them!


If you wanted to see a sample, look at the right side of the site and you'll see a chat box that let's you send a message. So, how does it works? The Meebo Me widget allows your visitors to send you a message and able you to read it at the same time. Moreover, it lets you send a message back thus, private live chatting occurs between you and your visitor.

May Pasok Ba?

"*Sigh* Is there a class today?"

 Was there an instance happened that you do not know if you should go to school due to inconsistency of hearsays because there is a typhoon? 

"I should have not went to school. There's no class. *:c*."

Did it happen that you went to school knowing that your school announced a late suspension of classes that you didn't have a chance to know?

At Last, a JanSport Bag!

 At last, I got a JanSport bag. I got it last Saturday when we attended the celebration of my grandmother's birthday and my uncle's 3rd business anniversary. He is selling supplements for those who workout on gyms through online marketing. By the way, if you are interested or taking in muscle juice, whey protein, for example, feel free to visit his site, Body Blast. Before we, with my mom and sister, went to Gerry's Grill, we entered Bratpack and in no time I'm already decided to buy a bag.

Kinematics - Instantaneous Axis CAD (Plate #3)

Given the linkage Q2BCQ4EFH. Q2 and Q4 are fixed centers lying horizontally 6 in. apart with Q2 to left of Q4. Q2B is a crank 3 in. long and CQ4E is a lever 8 in. long pivoted at its mid point Q4, with C oscillating above the center line Q2Q4. BC is a connecting rod 7 in. long. EF is a link 8.5 in long driving a sliding block 8 and pinned to 8 at F, which moves along a horizontal line through Q2Q4 and to the right of Q4. MH and NH are links 2 in. long pinned to links EQ4 and EF, respectively, 2 in. from E. These link are pinned at H within the acute angle Q4EF. Q2B rotates counterclockwise at 30 rpm.

iTouch App: Opera Mini

 Get a fast, cost-efficient Web browsing experience. Use the powerful servers of Opera to compress data by up to 90% before sending it to your iTouch, so page-loads are lightning fast. Opera Mini is a breeze to use and can synchronize data between your phone and computer.

Trust me, it's really lightning fast.

Winnie the Pooh with Tigger by Jep

 Believe it or not, this was a result of my creativity and boredom about 5 years ago. The times where I'm still fond of sketching figures. I cannot exactly remember why I ended up drawing Pooh and Tigger but at least they are here now. I'll share to you how I made them.
