Favorite Song Quotes
"You could do it too
I mean hot like we do
It’s a lot like we do and make your own mark
It’s deeper than the song
Hope you live your life long
When you win, how you start, kid you gotta have heart"
-Like It Like That, by A Tribe Called Quest
"So much on my mind that I can't recline
Blastin' holes in the night til she bled sunshine"

Favorite MATLAB Demo
My favorite MATLAB Demo is the demo called "Viewing a Penny," from the "Graphics" section.
This demo contains a .MAT file with the official NIST measurements of the mold used to mint the U.S. Penny. The demo's script then creates copper colored contour lines using that .MAT file, and then afterwards shades and colors in the penny with accurate respect to the height and depth of the different areas. Another lighting technique is used to make the image look like a photograph, and then the script produces a 3-D model.
I liked this demo because it was interesting to see the step-by-step process of going from measurements to a graphic. Also, the raw form of the model looks really cool, like something out of National Treasure.
