My Blog on the smart coffee cup has really evolved over the last weeks. I began with this idea of a revolutionary coffee cup that would change how people enjoy drinking coffee on the types of temperatures they want. I began to expand on this idea when i learned about how i could use computers to improve on my product to the point where i could make this idea a reality.
I commented on Sarah Schuster blog http://imanentrepenuar.blogspot.com/ her idea on creating charity connect can relate to my SCP. If i wanted to give out coffee cup to people i would definitely use her website as a way to publicize my product. Sean Cheatham blog http://seancheatham195.blogspot.com/ is an interesting idea, if someone needed to share the location or the website of my smart coffee cup they could do it instantly with his BCI. Brittany Moore http://bmoore02.blogspot.com/ is a great idea on how you can improve on something that is already popular.
My experience with the project has been wonderful i received a lot of comments from people who are also interested in the idea and think this could be possible. Thanks to the lectures in class i was able to learn about different things i need to know before i could start on my project. I hope this idea can become true one day and i had a great time with the project.

Week 7: Networking
Understanding networking is very important if your are interest in computer based projects. Internet protocol is the rules of communication, it includes syntax and semantics and it consist of small acts. The HTTP in the internet are the 4 step process between client and web servers. There are other internet protocols such as IMAP, POP, SMTP, and many more. The more restricted protocols are parent protocols TCP Transmission Control Protocol and IP that stands for Internet Protocols
If i want to make a webpage that will show the content of my idea "Smart Coffee Cup" I will need to understand how the internet works. Every node on the internet needs and IP address to communicate and a set of four bytes. I will need to make a domain name similar to the 1800Flowers used in phones. A domain name is an alias for an IP address. I will need to know about ICANN which is reponsible for managing and coordinating the Domain name system. I can probably buy or sell my domain name, this is very important because i do not have to think hard for a perfect idea that is probably already taken.
Creating a website for my project can be difficult because i have to manage servers. I have to be able to understand servers and how do they work. Giving out webpage information and quickly so that my server don't leave it open. I will about the command PING and the command TRACERT to see how fast my webpage information is given users. Creating a smart coffee cup webpage is an interesting way to share my product and if people are truly interested and can make my product sale better.

Week 6: Operating Systems & Digital Colors
Every technological instrument has an Operating system to manage hardware and software resources. There are many types of operating system today and the most popular ones are Windows 7 for computer and smart phones, Mac Os for computer and Mobil devices and Android which is mainly on mobile devices. My Smart Coffee Cup would need a operating system to work. The operating system i would use can range from man types like Windows and Mac which are available today. My best idea is to create my own operating system based on the coffee cup that would be unique to this idea.
Some operating systems are single tasking meaning the user would run one command or one program and then exit from that program before running the next program. Other are multi-tasking meaning that can run a lot of programs simultaneously and there is no need to exit a program before running the next one. It would be a great idea if the operating system i made for my coffee cup could be open source, so the users w the could be able to modify the software and make it more appealing to there needs, for example if they didn't the default buttons on my coffee cup they could make them do other things. It would be amazing if one of the user added different options to the coffee cup that are more beneficial.
When i will decide to publicize my smart coffee cup i would need to know about what color i would use for my web-pages and my posters. RGB is the type of color i would use if i want to print out flyer's about my Smart Coffee Cup. If i want to create a web page that has color i would not use the same color types as i did when i printed the flyer's, instead i would use Hex-Triplets which is color for web-pages. Knowing about the difference between the two is very important because it would save a lot of trouble, and i would fix the brightness and the saturation of the picture.

Week 5: Professional Blogger
Daniel World of Coffee is a blog page by Daniel that is strictly about coffee. Daniel goes around the world and discover different ways that coffee is being made around the world. Daniel takes pictures of every places he visit and post it as a link to his blog, his main idea is to show where coffee is coming from, how it is made and by who, and what exactly makes the best coffee. Daniel documents about the competition of coffee, he rates the coffee he tastes in every countries he visit and its a good way to know where the best coffee come from.
During his journeys around the world he record video of coffee manufacturers, in African countries coffee are mainly made by women. Daniel also take the time to rate the best coffee shop he has visited around the world, this can be beneficial to my project because after i create my smart coffee cup i would need the support of good coffee shops to sell my product.
Daniel moved his blogs from "Daniel Coffee Blogs" http://danielhumphries.livejournal.com/, to Daniel's World of Coffee http://danielhumphries.typepad.com/coffee/. His blog page can relate to my Smart Coffee idea because he is a professional on coffee and he probably faced the problem of waiting for the coffee to be the right temperature before you can drink.
