Instructions To CardBoard Chair
1) Get some sturdy cardboard. The point of the chair is to be environmentally friendly though, so find some used cardboard somewhere instead of buying your materials
2) Cut out the back as a rectangle with the fold down the middle.
3) Cut a very shallow V from the bottom of the back to cause it to tilt backwards. About 1.5" at the fold.
4) Cut the sides. They are simple rectangles and will be mirror images of each other.
5) Choose how high you want the seat to be.
6) Cut slots in the bottom of the back parallel to the long edges to accommodate the sides. The slots should be less than the height of the seat chosen.
7) Cut matching slots in the sides. These slots have to be at an angle to match the tilt of the back, and long enough to reach down to the top of the slots in the back.
8)Cut the support beams and seat.
9) Fold the beams twice along their length to give a triangular cross section.
10) Cut holes to receive the beams. The holes should be triangular with the top of the triangle parallel to the bottom of the side. The fit should be snug. The holes on opposite sides should be the same, but front and back holes might be different if your beams' cross-sections are not equilateral (As seen in case.)
11) Cut a slot in the back at the appropriate height to receive the seat. Note that as the back slants and is bent, the slot is not straight (the halves should be parallel to the `V' at the bottom, and should be symmetric. The slot will have to be wider than the seat thickness because it's oblique, and the distance of the slot from the bottom is more than the distance of the seat from the ground.
12)Slot the back into each of the sides.
13) Push the beams through the holes. Pushing them outwards from the inside, both through one side first should be easiest.
14) Slide the seat through the slot in the back from in front. The seat should be supported by the bottom of the slot and the tops of the beams.
15) Cut arms in the sides according to your taste, comfort, artistic flair.
16) For extra strength, this model of chair has additional supports made of U-folded rectangles of cardboard. These help to stop the back and sides moving relative to each other about the weak slot joint. For each of these, (there are four- one at the top and bottom of each of the side/back joints). cut short parallel slots in the back (side) so that one falls on either side of the side (back). Push the U-shaped piece through both slots when the chair is assembled, to strengthen the joint as shown below.

Wordle
I actually like blogging in class. Its way more fun than sitting in class doing book work and copying notes. When i first heard we were doing blogging i thought it was going to be hard being that this is a higher level of engineering. i though twe would actualy have to take notes from her page and stuff. But it turned out to be a fun experience. Using blogger in class, we put reflections and pictures online. And whats great about the blogger assignment is that unlike paper that we have to turn in during class, we have till midnight of that day to turn in the assignment on the computer. I think that everyone enjoyed the blogging assignment . I know i did.

Good And Bad WebPage Design.
A Good Web Page Differs From A Bad Web Page In Many Ways. For Instance, In A Good Web Page, The Color Of The Words Does Not Clash With The Color Of The Background. Unlike A Good Web Page, In A Bad Web page You Can Not Read The Words. Either The Words Are To Small Or Its Crowding Against The Left Edge. A Good Web Page, The Text Is Big Enough To Read & Hierarchy Information Is Clear. Also, Every Graphic Link Has A Matching Text Link. Bad Web Pages Has Many Blinking Graphics & Other Things. Featured In A Bad Web Page, Tables Used As Design Elements. If The Page Is Too Big And You Have To Scroll Sideways, Is A Bad Web Page. By Making Sure I Have None Of The Requirements Of A Bad Web Page, I Am Improving My Blog. Consisting Of The Details From The Good Web Page.

What I've learned from the Glider project
I've learned that a glider is a light aircraft designed to fly for long periods without using an engine. Building a glider is harder than it may seem. Even though all of the parts are the same sizes, like the wings and rutters, you have to make sure that they are even and that they have they same shape. If not ,your glider will not be accurate. The glider i decided to do was the most advanced glider by the Wright Brothers. It also had a spruce framework supported within pockets sewn into its muslin fabric covering like the 1901 glider. the 1902 glider also has thinner airfoil and longer and narrower wings. The Wright brothers added a fixed vertical rudder to the rear of the glider.

What I've learned about the blogging
In engineering we use blogging to turn it work. Other usage of blogging is to express feelings. Also to tell people things without confronting them and express opinions. Some people just like to tell how they feel at the moment and blog again on if the feel better or not. People decide whether they want cerain people to read their blog, they can block people out from not reading their blog, and there are people who dont care who reads it.
