20% project November/December

At the end of October I had a good idea of how I wanted to build my prototype, but I have changed my mind on the way I want it done. I would like to use the technology of wristify, but it wouldn't be legal to wear it on your wrist, so I would build it into the shoulder pad and put it under a sort of protective dome that the shoulder pads already have. There are a few dangers though such as the wristify breaking and harming the user, or kids thinking they are cooler than they really are and pushing themselves to far. At the end of December I will have more research done on wristify and figure out a way to build it into the pad, but as far as having a finished product I will have to wait a while and see how well wristify actually works and if it would be a possibility.

Tax on Salary

I work for CHG in Cody, Wyoming so there is no income tax. I am taxed 28% on federal income tax. I multiplied 100,000 by .28 and got 22,145. I then subtracted 6539.5 to get my final answer of 78,539.50. When I heard my salary was 100,000 it sounded good, but after taxes it's not as good as I was expecting.

October/November 20% time

I accomplished part of my goal as far as the research goes, but I still have yet to build a prototype I know how I want to build it but I don't know exactly how the parts and pieces are going to be put together. I overcame how to keep the pads cool and light. I want a prototype at the end of November and I want a good set of pads built at the end of semester.
