Sony fdr-x3000: The sony action cam (fdr-x3000) is a rugged waterproof camera thats main competitor is gopro. Although gopro may be more popular in the world of action cameras, the sony action cam is better in almost every category. It has a better sensor, it has optical image stabilization as opposed to digital on gopro's end which is not as good, and it has carl zeiss glass. One category gopro take the advantage is in form factor, the gopro's body is smaller and is flat with a lens sticking out of it, whereas the sony action cam looks like a miniature cam corder in terms of shape, still not that much bigger than the gopro, but the different orientation may make people consider otherwise when thinking about purchasing. Overall the sony action cam is a better camera in terms of video quality itself, but size and lack of mounts may steer the buyer off.
KrK Rokit 6's Krk rokit 6's are powered studio monitors that are meant to reproduce accurate sound. They have crisp high's, good mid's and deep and thumping low end. They are mainly for people who create music and need to hear accurately what they are making, but they are also for the music lover that want to hear things in their favorite songs that they have never heard before. They are power studio monitors meaning they do not need an amp to be powered, but they do still sound better with one. They are on the more expensive side since they are meant for professionals, running about 250 each one, not to mention an audio interface is needed to connect them to a computer. overall they are great and if you love music and have the money then they are no doubt going to make listening or making music very enjoyable.

Music Reviews
Steve Aoki live: San Jose State University& Soma San Diego
Steve aoki is a chinese-american music producer and world famous dj. His shows are amazing and very funny but can get a little bit hectic sometimes. people push and shove to try and get in front since all of his concerts are only mosh-pit, its always first come first serve when it comes to "seating". He throws out cakes into the crowd and also puts inflatable rafts into the crowd and has people climb in, he calls it white people rafting. His type of music and concert style is more directed towards younger people, but there is no reason someone older could enjoy his music and performances if they are up for it. One thing though is to make sure you dont wear anything to hot because jumping up and down with thousands of people for 4 hours gets extremely tiring.
Hippie Sabotage live: Majestic Ventura Theater
Hippie sabotage is an electronic music producer and dj combo made up of two brothers. Their shows are also amazing and full of fun and good times, they are also more targeted toward the younger audience, but not too young as during their shows they occasionally use drugs, they are meant for the mature young. They have bright colored lights that flash and cool laser beams that make cool patterns and move during their performances. Again it gets extremely hot jumping up and down for 4 or 5 hours nonstop so make sure you bring water and make sure to not wear something that is hot.

Restaurant Reviews
in-n-out Burger: 4865 Calle Real, Goleta, CA 93111
A favorite place by all local people from santa barbara and beyond. In-n-out burger has made a name for itself as one of the best burger joints around. The menu is what you would expect from a burger place, it includes burgers of course, shakes, fries and in-n-out has its own secret menu that you can look up for some hidden goodies. In-n-out burger is a reasonably priced burger joint, but one thing to note is that LINES ARE LONG! Although it is a fast food place and is meant to go in get your food then out(see what I did there) the lines are always at least 10 minutes long, during lunch rush they sometimes can surpass 30 minutes. In-n-out's exterior and interior are nicely designed and is a fairly clean burger place when it comes to things such as bathrooms. All in all in-n-out is a great burger joint that may take you a few extra minutes to get your food, but when you do you its all worth it.
Outback Steakhouse: Calle Real Shopping Center, 5690 Calle Real, Goleta, CA 93117
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! The outback steakhouse may offend Australian native's because of the american spin-off of Australian foods. There's no such thing as a bloomin' onion, but we as Americans don't care because it tastes good and that is all that matters. Don't expect to go to the outback for a quick meal, they take their time there and believe me, it's worth it. Although it can be a bit pricey depending on what you order, for the most part it is relatively cheap when you take into consideration that it is in fact an actual restaurant not a fast food place. And if you're one who is conscious about calories, then maybe the outback is not the place to go, seeing as their bloomin onion has over 2 thousand calories alone, and their fettuccine pasta has over 15 hundred. Overall I would say the outback is a great place when you have a special occasion and is fairly priced if you ordere the right thing.

3 sites that I think are good
OFF-WHITE :https://www.off---white.com/en/US/men
I think that the off-white website is a good website because of the simple layout. Even though the layout is very simple and easy to navigate, it looks well made and very elegant. On the front page it advertises their latest clothing and shows the current deals that they are having at the moment which I believe is one part of why this website is very good, it shows clothes that normal people can actually afford.
FLIGHTCLUB: http://www.flightclub.com
Flightclub's website is another website which I believe to be a good website, it has a lot of pictures of their products and i think that is one of the main reasons why flightclub is a good website, it showcases what they have that you can buy and it also adds a nice effect to the website making it seem like it more professional. All 3 of these websites also have an easy to navigate layout, which is the most essential thing in my opinion as to what makes a website good or not, because if it was difficult to navigate through the website then not many people would want to go to and that would causer them to lose money since they would not be able to sell any of their shoes that they have.
NEWEGG: http://www.newegg.com
Newegg's website has the nicest layout out of the 3 different websites that I mentioned above. Newegg has moving pictures of products that they have in stock, they have a lot of pictures of deals that they have at the time being and that makes it appealing to people because it shows that the website cares about the customers money ( kinda). It has an easy to navigate layout and you can find just about anything that you are looking for in less than a minute, which is essential because no one likes to have to look through a website for hours trying to finds one specific product.

WHAT MAKES A WEBSITE "GOOD"
Making a good website takes a lot of things in my opinion. You can easily tell if a website is made by someone who has never made one before, they always forget what makes a good website. Making a good website takes a lot of planning and it shouldn't be thought of on the spot when the person is making the website. A good website should have many key components, first off it should have a nice user friendly layout, simple things like frequently asked questions should be easily found, it should not be under a whole bunch of sub menu's. It should also have a good font, the font should be easy to read and it should be a professional font, not a font that a kid would use on his poster board for the science fair. Another thing that makes a good website is when the website has moving advertisements,it makes the website look a lot smoother and better made. The last thing I think a good website should have is a good url, a memorable url is I think one of the most important things in a good website, if people cant remember the name of your website then how are people going to find it in the first place. All of these things put together I think is what makes a good website, without all of these the website will most likely not be a good one and fail.

today I learned
Today I learned that a lot of things are connected in some way, you can find one thing when you are on a different thing or topic because of how the internet works. I also learned that not getting enough sleep before you have to take a test is not good because you can not think nearly as good as you can when you are awake. Although everything is connected to each other in some way, i tried to find the entry for magic mountain without using my keyboard and I failed I could not find it, and I am not sure why since it is a popular theme park that millions of people go to every year, you'd think it would be a lot easier to find than it was. I also learned to value my keyboard more, because without it, I would not be able to find half of the things that I look for on a daily basis. Without a keyboard I would not be able to do anything really other than click on some apps that i have on my computer, other than that I would be stuck looking at my wallpaper not being able to get online.
