Week 11 Reading A: The Tortoise and the Geese

This week, my favorite reading this week was The Tortoise and the Geese, due to the lesson about the value of silence.  I think it would work perfect for my D&D story because it could keep the same message on the value of silence while being made into a humorous tale.  My thoughts are that it will be a lesson to the rogue, because rogues are famous for talking themselves into and out of trouble.  As far as consequences, letting go of a stick seems out of the ordinary, but there definitely will be other fantasy situations which are appropriate for the setting.  Overall I am very excited for writing this story, because it will provide a different sort of story then I have been doing.

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 video This wa

Week 11 Story, The Battle

Image
Ush-Goth was tired.  Warring and raging and all sorts of barbarian things required rest.  That wizard guy was stupid for spending sleeping time reading, everyone knows that time is only for fighting, sleeping, and eating, Ush-Goth thought.  He found the shadiest tree he could find, threw his animal fur cloak over himself, made sure his trusty battle-ax was next to him, and fell asleep. Several good dreams of raiding, pillaging, and cracking skulls later, he was awoken by a great thumping noise and a massive pain in his skull.  This was the moment that Ush-Goth lived for, he sprang into action, in one smooth motion leaping to his feat, grabbing his battle-ax, and rushing off to warn his companions, who had given themselves some fancy name that he could not recall at the moment. Barbarian, from  pinterest The first person Ush-Goth encounetered was Adalard, the Rogue, who asked Ush-Goth why he was running.  Ush-Goth's only response when he ran past was, "big fight, warn
