The upcoming DROP kitchen scale brings smarts to your measuring. It’s more assistant than measuring device. It connects to your iPad over Bluetooth, and an app watches the weights of ingredients as you add them to a prep bowl. It tells you exactly when to stop pouring. But if you go over, no problem. It will recalculate the rest of the recipe so the proportions are right.

Something I did entertaining is watching a basketball game. Even though I have watched many basketball games, this game was different. There were a lot more dunks, three pointers, and good passes. It was entertaining because the game was not like the others. The game was also energetic because the players looked like they were not tired.

Presentation

Presentation is showing and explaining a topic to an audience. In my opinion a good presentation is when you put on a show. You are able to explain what you did and speak clearly so that the audience is able to understand you. When doing a presentation, you should have eye contact with the audience.

     Being invisible can be very exciting, but there were deeds to be done. I went on a mission to secretly do good deeds and become an unrecognized hero. The first thing I did was help a girl named Allie clean her room so she can go hang out with her friends sooner. She was looking forward to the hang out all week. Another thing I did was help a boy get out of a fire. He would have been burned, but I got him out on time.

     I also helped a group of kids get back to their house before a storm came. I got them home and they were safe for the storm. When I was done using the cloak, I thought about how good it feels to help people. Helping people is kind and helpful.

Oscar Mayer introduced a gadget called Wake Up and Smell the Bacon, which plugs into your iPhone and acts like an alarm, but makes you smell the scent of bacon.
