Week 8 Progress

Overall, I am happy with the progress I have made in this course.  I am ahead of schedule despite the concussion, so even though I got knocked off the pace I was on, I am still on schedule to finish early, so I am satisfied.  The comments are my favorite weekly assigment, because I like getting to check in on people's blogs that I have been fascinated by and seeing what their latest work is.

Moving forward, I want to try to return to the pace I was on for classwork, but that will require some extra work for one or two weeks, luckily with spring break coming up it is the perfect opportunity to make this push.

This is my motivation, graduation.  I want to finish up both of my degrees, and reminding myself that ending this semester will finish one of them is the greatest motivation I could have.

    Hey again John-Paul, I am glad to see your where you want to be in this course. Graduation is also one of my major motivators. I cannot wait to have free time and maybe even have a life again. Sorry to hear about the concussion, but it sounds like you have everything handled pretty well. Best of luck, and I’ll see you at convocation!

Introduction to a UAS Pilot and Aerospace Engineer

Hello all, I am John-Paul Burke, a Aerospace Engineering Graduate student at the University of Oklahoma and Research Assistant for Dr. Andrea L'Afflitto at the University of Oklahoma's Advanced Dynamics Laboratory.  My hobbies and work overlap, with most of my current projects being the design, testing, coding, and flying of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) also known as drones.  Personally, I own 3 different UAS models, and enjoy flying them whenever possible.  As an FAA licensed UAS pilot, the ability to fly and allow others to experience the joy of piloting is amazing, because seeing the excitement on others faces when they fly (and crash) a UAS for the first time is infectious.  Below are several of my videos taken of or by my drones, with an apology in advance for the quality of the one taken by the drone, due to the UAS being a restoration project and so the camera is not quite up to full quality yet.  Restored Parrot Drone First Flight Test, personal v...

Week 10 Story: Into the Arena

Image
"Arjuna! Arjuna! Arjuna!" the chants from the crowd resounding throughout the arena.  Arjuna smiled slightly, then loosed another flurry of arrows, dropping all the targets released.  During each shot, the only thing he remembered was his trainer Drona's advice, "See only the head, not the body."  Eager to show even greater prowess, he hopped on his horse and galloped throughout the arena, hitting target after target without fail, prompting even more cheers from the crowd.  Finally, the time came for the greatest exhibition, and an iron boar was loosed into the arena.  To any witness, the next five arrows that Arjuna released were faster than the wind itself, and all hit the boar straight in the mouth, as if they were but a single arrow.  The boar dropped dead, and the arena rang with the mightiest cheers anyone present had ever heard. Arena, from  pinterest As Arjuna reveled in his glory, not all were pleased for the great prince.  Duryodh...
