[LEARNED] Controlling Search Results

Google features many search commands, and here are the following commands I have known before todays class :
  • Search "super mario bros" : Click on the animated coin block shown on the right hand corner of the screen. Click on it to make the block bounce up shoot coins just like from the original game. 
  • Search "do a barrel roll" : The Google website will turn around.
  • On Google Images, search "atari breakout" : You can play the good old game of Atari Breakout. 

Check out for more commands here

The commands that I have pointed out above is used for fun. However, in todays class, I have learned about "useful" Google Search commands. The "useful" Google Search commands will help you organize the search results by actually making the number of search results fewer. These are the following I have picked up from a documentation from class.


  • Site:url

  • Filetype:key / ppt etc
  • “Exact phrase”
  • -exclude
  • Related:url
  • Define: word
  • word* (complete)
  • Word * (word and another word)
  • Reverse image search (Google Images)
On todays class, I have learned an important point about handling massive data searchers like Google :

"Data can be reliable depending on the way you use it, and to find the correct data to use, organising is the best solution."

Keeping the rules of design on my mind should help me on my presentation and projects.

[Reflection] Reflection on this semester

This semester, I've learned mainly 2 things. 1. Slide Design 2. Roles in group presentation. Slide Design:  This semester, I've tried to challenge a new style of slide design ("new" meaning not following everything of the demonstration and the lessons given at class). I have tried my best to try to use more of "icon" based design, which I thought would be nice, theme wise.  The first time I saw icon based presentation slides was a video archive of Facebook Keynote Presentation. I saw the beauty of having matched color schemes (in Facebooks case, it was blight blue, a color which is color-blind friendly). So, I took my time to get some inspirations of icon based presentation slide designs, and came upon a free to use icons to use. As a result, Kai and I have decided to create slides with matching color schemes, and as well as isometric icons I've found on the internet. Roles in group presentation:  At the beginning of the year, we learned about ...

[Review] End of the Semester

It is very hard to believe to the fact that it is already the end of the whole first semester. This semester, I have learned many skills on creating and sharing ideas effectively and creatively. The environment can change our ideas, as well as our thoughts for how to share and keep the idea. Thanks to all of the research and support from my team (Funky Donut Designs and Developers at GitHub.com) I have become more knowledgeable, and creative for more projects to tackle on in the future. Thank you for reading, and thank you for your support.
