October 8
Today, after taking a make-up test after school, I arrived at 4:00 with Jason and Alex. I began by discussing the culminating group project page with Alex because the two of us are working together to explain our research on the Many Eyes website. My role in this logbook is to contribute noteworthy pictures that I had taken via Jing along with brief descriptions explaining their significance. Because I had completed the majority of this responsibility last week, Alex and I decided that it would be best for him to add an introductory paragraph explaining our goals, reasoning, and processes. While Alex, Jason, and Jeremiah were finishing up their work on the group page, I reformatted my logbook to allow more user-friendly navigation. I then decided to return to my main page containing the CMS milestones and add introductory information about cosmic rays. We decided as a group to spend today polishing up the group log. We will let John proof-read, and then email you that it has been completed. We will begin experimenting with the Many Eyes graphs as instructed on Wednesday.

Jeremiah, Jason, Alex, and I arrived at 3:40 today. We began by putting the finishing touches on our culminating group project to be presented to Dr. L. Having finished this, we discussed our approach to the next assignment. Without John here to instruct us, we stumbled a little over identifying and dealing with the various axes options on the Many Eyes website. We spent our time fiddling around and searching for trends that we could understand as a start to our upcoming project. I found the following graphs and noted significance in them. 

At this stage, we are not familiar with all the options that we can represent on either axis. Hopefully, the meaning of these pictures will be clear in the near future when we are able to discover the representations.
