Mecatronics, the future career
Cars? Airplanes? Robots? Hardware? Boats? Doors??? Have you ever wanted to build your own car? or even your own boat? or, fixing things in your house? well... this post is really for you! what is mechatronics? mechatronics is a combination of two different types of engineering; Mech, comes from Mechanic engineering; Tronics, comes from electrical or precision engineering. But this also involves computing. This means that if you want to be anything you dreamed, it can probably become true with mechatronics, while there is $$$ and hands to sweat it can come true. This means that you can build physical and electronic things in one individual item.
Have you seen the Tony Stark (Iron Man Movie) workshop? If you haven´t, well... let me tell you that is 99% mechatronic because it combines physical items for example: Robot frame; and also has electronic things for example: Robot´s software. I can tell you that if you study mechatronics I´ll assure you that you can build anything you want, ofcourse if you are smart enough ;).
Every time you walk into any place, try to look around and watch everything that could be mechatronic. If you become a mechatronic engineer you can work at Apple being a hardware/software engineer. Or working at Lamborghini designing and building cars, or their Operating system. Imagine all of the things you can do. If you become one of these, please, feel free to ask me if I want one of those robots in my house.
Gaming computers, worth it?
Are you a gamer in which your PC doesn´t "like" what you are playing and stops working? Then, do the same I did with my last PC!
Buy a GAMING PC, I´ll tell you its worth it. My old PC had such bad video card that it couldn´t even play YouTube videos! I evn tried to buy a new video card for the old PC, it improved a little but it was a 30 bucks waste. Then I stupidly continued wasting money in addons that never worked.
300 dollars later... I asked my dad, "How about buying a GAMING PC!?", My father yelled, "yeees!". After 1 month of Research I found the perfect one, the Cybertron PC. It was awesome it was like having 10x of my old computer in ONE! 16gb RAM, and the best video card in the market! The phrase, "the best video card in the market" seems like this PC is VERy expensive! Well... NO! It may be a little expensive but... IT´S WORTH It!
“Ahhh!” every one in the plane (screams). Have you ever thought your airplane is gonna fall? That everything you see on the television or in the web about airplane disasters can happen every time? have you ever watched the Air disasters program on NatGeo before flight? well… in this post, I`ll tell you why you shouldn’t fear planes.
Somethings you need to think before a flight, are regular things that all airplanes have; all airplanes have turbulences, all airplanes have extreme turbulences and all airplanes have scared old ladies which is their first flight and screams as if a murder just happened! as my mom says, “fear is contagious”. If you`re in the middle of a turbulence and everybody yells, please remember the first thing I said, “ALL AIRPLANES HAVE TURBULENCES!”, so please don`t scream as the old lady at you`re side! Did you know that theres a 0.00001% chance that your airplane will crash? so please do not throw it bad luck.
“You`re more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the airport than on the plane”, theres also a probability from 1 to 11 million that you would die on a plane. A friend of mine that is an airline pilot says “un avion no se cae por el mismo, hoy en dia lo tumban” this translated would mean “An airplane doesn’t fall by it self, in these days they’re knocked down”. This means that an airplane wouldn’t fall for it`s failure, the pilot is the one which more likely will make an error.
So… please have in mind all of the things I mentioned on this post.
Airplanes, a suicide machine, or is it just you?

In twenty years I will be...?
Since I was a kid my big obsession and hobby was airplanes. When I was a little kid
I used to play a flight simulator game with my dad, I seated on his lap and started flying a
very small aircraft with a very basic joystick. I was TERRIBLE! Flying, but it was more
for fun. I used to make stunts on commercial airplanes etc. As I got older my interest for
airplanes grew a lot, so I started investigating about, how did they work, how to fly them
and the most important, life as an airline pilot.
Riding an airplane isn´t a very easy thing to do… when you say the word airplane
pilot you mean a man that can ride a 66 ton machine, with approximately 180 souls on
board, at 40 thousand feet above the sea level, at a speed of 878 km/h. Wow, this seem to
be a very important job. Well… this is my dream. This is the perfect time to start finding
the possibility for it. You need to work hard to make dreams come true.
I think that in twenty years I´ll be flying over the skies. I think I´ll be working for
the best airline I the world. In twenty years I´ll be living the dream. I´ll be traveling over
the world, from country to country, from city to city, from hotel to hotel. This is what I´ll
be doing in 20 years from now.
The new Airbus a320neo, the next generation of airplanes.
Life as an airline pilot. my dream...
