I am Tommy. I am the bestest.

Here is where my OBS Video is going to go.

Month of failure Python Project

Earlier in the year, we were challenged with developing code in trinket at a harder level. I coded the game “Python Feud”. It is a knock off edition of Google Feud, but made in python, hence the name.

Google’s New AI Robot Models

Google has introduced two new AI-powered robots that are designed to tackle everyday tasks without needing any special training. One of these models, called Gemini Robotics, stands out for its ability to gather information by observing the real world. Instead of being programmed step-by-step, it learns by watching and turns those observations into different “modes” or “styles” for handling various chores and actions. This allows Gemini Robotics to build a growing library of skills, adapting as it encounters new situations. Whether it’s helping around the house or assisting in a workplace, its ability to pick up new tasks on the fly makes it a flexible and powerful tool.

While this sounds pretty exciting, there are a few things to think about. A robot that’s always learning raises some concerns about privacy—if it’s constantly observing, where does that information go? Plus, just because it sees something once doesn’t mean it’ll get it right every time. The idea has huge potential, but how well it handles real-life unpredictability will be the real test.

The New Ipad Air installed with M3 Chip

Apple’s new iPad Air M3 has gained popularity for its impressive balance of power and price. Equipped with Apple’s latest M3 chip, this device delivers performance that’s close to the high-end iPad Pro series without the high price tag. The M3 chip brings notable improvements in speed and graphics, making the iPad Air M3 a solid choice for both casual users and those handling more demanding tasks. With storage options ranging from 128GB to 1TB and a sharp 11-inch Retina display, the iPad Air M3 offers plenty of flexibility for work, entertainment, and creativity.

I, personally, am definitely on board with this product. It is perfect for anyone who desires the features of an Ipad Pro, but wants to keep the budget low. The decrease in price comes with some quality changes however, as buyers will not get the satisfying 120 hz refresh rate the pro feature offers. Still, I believe it is an amazing product for students, casual, or creative users.

Amazon corrupts customer privacy with the Amazon Echo

Amazon has announced a significant change to its Echo devices, set to take effect on March 28, 2025. From that date onward, all voice commands given to Alexa will be sent to Amazon’s cloud for processing. This change is tied to the introduction of Alexa Plus, a new AI-powered version of the assistant that relies on cloud computing to improve its capabilities. Previously, some Echo models offered local processing for voice requests, allowing certain commands to stay off Amazon’s servers. With this change, that option will no longer be available.

It is said that this upgrade will enhance Alexa’s performance, but I still raise my suspicions on this feature. I am concerned that this change will give users less privacy options for their echo devices. Although Amazon ensures to delete recordings after being processed, It still feels uneasy having personal recordings pass through the cloud. I am sure that the new Alexa plus will be a hit, but this change still remains a big issue.

Twin Python Projects

Earlier in the year, the class made two python projects together, one as a number code, and the other as a word game.

For my number project, I made a digital cafe in trinket.io with hot meals, snacks, sandwiches and more. Here is the link: Number-game

For my word project, I made a choose-your-own-adventure game with a halloween theme. Here is the link: Word-Game

NHL Predictions

In term 2, the class predicted stats of 20 different NHL players based on previous games in the previous season. Below is my predictions chart showing both how far off I was, and the absolute value.

Passion project #1: Trinket soccer personality Quiz

For my first passion project, I decided to make a personality quiz called: “What Soccer Player are You?”. It is a quiz that asks 10 simple questions to match you with a famous soccer player.

Here is the link to the trinket: Trinket

Passion project #2: Fidget Spinner 3-d Design

For my second passion project, I designed a 3-d fidget spinner model with a software named Onshape CAD. I add my initials on there in a cool pattern.

Passion project #3: TinkerCAD Minion 3-d design

For my third passion project, I decided to make a 3-d design of a minion in TinkerCAD using different shapes and extruding tools.

Passion Project #4: “An Eggcellent Adventure” Photoshop art piece

For my final passion project, I used Adobe Photoshop’s generative ai tools to make a picture of a diner table that I call “An Eggcellent Adventure”.
