...of my mind", when it comes to poor service. I was. I changed. Why? I stopped and thought, after a life changing experience, what would life be like in their shoes. Now let me see... Did the person I am about to speak with send me the incorrect item? Did the person I am about to speak with promise my service would be connected yesterday? When dealing with large corporations, the answer is inevitably, "No." So why abuse the living daylights out of someone who: didn't cause your problem you have called to fix the problem. I have had this conversation with CEO's and the long-term unemployed, and the penny drops when you present this quandary. Steven R. Covey, in his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People says "Begin with the end result in mind". Have a goal, even if it is just for a phone call. Think of what you want to achieve and go for it. Top line executives may consider a 5 minute conversation as a pointless goal setting exercise, but it works. I once had experienced a lengthy delay to have an internet service connected at my home for my business. When I share this experience with people, you see scorn and hatred in eyes and in body language. People say, "I would have abused them." I then ask, "Would the abuse get you the result you are looking for?"...

...| Lab 1: 1D Cellular Automaton | ECE 5760 | | Lucas Ackerman (lba36) Weiqing Li (wl336) | 9/16/2011 | Introduction The purpose of this lab was to design a hardware implementation of an elementary cellular automaton and display the evolving state of that automaton on a VGA screen (with a minimum resolution of 320x240). In the implementation, there was to be a way for the user to set the evolution rule which defined how each new generation formed from the previous generation. Additionally, the user should be able to press a button and display another screen with the next set of evolved states. The initial condition was to be selectable and either a single white cell in the center of the first generation or a random cellular automaton. In the proceeding sections we will discuss our implementation, the results, comparisons with natural phenomena and possible improvements to the design. Design and Testing Overview As mentioned above, the implementation of the 1D cellular automaton was completed in hardware and no software was designed. We used the Altera DE2 development board and the Cyclone II E2C35 FPGA. Since each cell of a new generation of the 1D cellular automaton is calculated by three cells from the previous generation and we wanted to generate the cellular automaton with hardware, a state machine running at 27Mhz was implemented to read from the memory, generate the new cell and store it back into memory. We also implemented a separate VGA interface...
