About

  Hello, 

My name is Mason and I am 24 years old. I am originally from Ohio but currently serving in the United States Air Force. Here in the near future I will be moving to Hawaii, I am very excited for that. I have a beautiful wife and small fur ball named Waldo. In my free time I like to keep up to date with some of the newest tech, play video games, and go try every restaurant I can. 

My experience within the IT world would be classes, both High School and College courses. I have taken many courses throughout my educational career from coding courses to graphic design courses. When talking about my future inside the IT career field I haven't concluded on the direction I want to take. I believe I have it narrowed down to either the Software or Hardware side but the Cyber Security side sparks an interest in me as well. I look forward to the future and getting more familiar with the components of the IT career field and hope it can help narrow down a single topic that I find eager to pursue.

Computers in The Workplace

  With being in the military I have seen technology and computers being used every single day for various reasons. The biggest reason computers are a viable source for the military is with the communication aspect. Everybody has work to do but they can't get done alone. Being able to communicate with people within the building, across the street, and even across the globe is a must to ensure the work gets accomplished as quickly as possible. Maintaining computer literacy within my work force isn't the easiest but it is achievable. Our computers and resources are not like the regular off the shelf computers so we get a some problems every now and then. Being able to either problem solve the issues themselves or reach out to an IT specialist within the unit is something we have to constantly be ready for. A day without a computer is a day that we are not able to get the required work done and keep moving forward.  I believe within the next 10 years technology will grow immensely...

Network Security

  It is important for an individual or and organization to to have information and security awareness because it keeps the owner’s work and information protected. There are many ways a persons and/or organizations information can be reached. One way is by what is called a ping attack but more specifically; DDos attacks. From Imperva “A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to make an online service unavailable to users, usually by temporarily interrupting or suspending the services of its hosting server” (Imperva, para. 1). There are more than just ping attacks that can be a militias attack to users. A common militias attack that not many people recognize are email spams. Email spams are a type of phishing attacks resulting in the intent to gain access of a users email, passwords, or even personal emails via an email or text message. Having awareness of the information that is sent to a user is an important way to avoid   prevent personal informati...

Programming Languages

My experience working with the program Scratch was exciting. This was my first time using this program but it was fun and a good challenge at the same time. I created a story clip that took place around a single main character. My problems with the program were that I tried to get some of the characters to spin and/or flip but that was a big difficulty. I could not figure out the “Forever” block. I tried using the “Spin” tutorial as a guidance on how to make the characters spin but the tutorial didn’t go into great depths. I overcame this road block by using rotating block and the repeating block in conjunction with one another to make it do the same thing but eventually coming to an end. Programming is very detailed and the programmer has to pay attention to all those minute details that are being involved. Comparing the program Scratch and the lessons learned in our text book I could see how Scratch uses all of the different types of machine languages depending on what the user is ...
