Individual Activity Report-Scott Stella
Week 14
For: J. Tirrell

This week was totally messed up for me. I didn't get much in on time (but everything was eventually posted). Senior design is eating up 98.72% of my time-our communication dipped a bit this week, likely as a result of other people having similar issues with end-semester projects.

I was able to get some good work done, however. My thumbnail, I thought, was pretty good-not perfect or complete of course, but combining it with other group members' thumbnails should work out just fine. One thing that I realized when looking at the other thumbnails was that we should be making them for each section and/or page since there isn't necessarily a specific repeating pattern (vaguely, but...).

I did research on three different phones, dividing it up into segments: cost, usability, reliability, and some basic hardware features. Most of the information came from cnet.com and from the various manufacturers and service providers. I feel like I compiled a lot of useful info in a format that can easily be transformed into a draft.

I think for this next week I'm going to put post-it notes all over my apartment to notify me of the assignments that are due and re-confirm each assignment every other hour...seriously.
