Sony Virtual Reality Helmet

Sony just announced more information about it's Virtual Reality (VR) Helmet at the Paris Game Show. It's set to launch sometime in 2016 and will be priced around $400 (a bargain in the gaming world if you ask me). The VR Helmet will be compatible with their most recent iteration of their console, the Play Station 4, and will come out with a slew of games that are currently being developed for it. The controller for the VR can vary from game to game but the main focus will be around Sony's Move Controller (similar to the Wii controller) and their traditional PS4 Controller. The VR Helmet is code named Project Morpheus as it allows humans to "morph" into another reality.

According to Sony's lead engineer on the project, Dennis Castleman, the hardware is already completed and they are now just waiting on games to be developed. The unit is said to be very light and feels like you aren't really wearing anything. The VR Helmet has a 1080p LCD display with an immersive 360 degrees of audio. There is 100 degrees field of view and all images are shown in 3D. The helmet can detect your head movement using an accelerometor and gyroscope that provide a frequency of around 1000Hz meaning that all transitions will seem very smooth and natural.


This is going to be a huge leap forward in the technology industry and gaming will forever be changed by this device. I don't know about you but I can't wait to get my hands on one.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
