1. Halloween Treats and watch a brief scene from the Ghostbusters movie...

2. Tri this Tee on: Snorg Tees T-Shirts. Adobe After Effects and your favorite SnorgTees Tee shirt design - t-shirt trigonometry. Tri it out.

3. Triangle Game using either dice or else using Excel to simulate the tossing of a die to roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Which team will WIN the game?! :-)

   Excel formula to simulate throwing a die (one of a pair of dice).
     
        =INT( RAND() * 6 + 1 )
   
        Note that RAND() is always greater than or equal to 0,
              and RAND() is always less than 1.0000.
   
        INT(3.14159) is the INTeger 3
   
              and 
   
        INT(3.9979) is also 3, the INTeger portion of 3.9979 is 3.
   
        If 
                      0.0 <= RAND() < 1.0   
        Then
             what can you tell me about 
   
                             RAND() * 6    ?????
   
             Specifically, can you tell me some specific information
                about the values for a and for b.
                                    ---       ---
    
                      a   <= RAND() * 6 <   b
                     ---                   ---
    
             a.  ________________
   
   
             b.  ________________
   

4. Simulating Smoke with Adobe After Effects.
