-
Christopher “Big Black” Boykin, who starred on MTV’s Rob & Big, has died. Boykin, who starred opposite professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek on the reality series, passed away on Tuesday morning (May 9) from a heart attack, a rep for Boykin confirms to PEOPLE.

The 6′ 6,” 375-lb. reality star appeared as Dyrdek’s bodyguard on 19 episodes of the MTV show from 2006-08, according to his IMDb profile, before the show abruptly ended following friction between the duo.

“It was a strange period,” Dyrdek said in a March 2016 interview with Graham Bensinger about the difficult period between himself and Boykin after the show’s end. “I had been a pro skateboarder for years, so me transitioning to mainstream fame was relatively smooth, right, where for him, the idea that man he was like working security two years earlier and now he’s on television, it was a much different dynamic.

But I think we both struggled with I didn’t want to be known as like Rob from Rob & Big … and I think he didn’t want to be known for like the sidekick. So that created a lot of that tension between me and him.”

According to Dyrdek, the duo was “paid the same in that era.”

“I think it was more the fundamental struggle of wanting to not be so connected to each other,” Dyrdek added. “Ultimately, after we had a big blowout creatively over an idea … things were so tense at certain times — it’s funny now that I think about it — but we literally would film some of the funniest things that we have ever done and would be losing it and then walk away and not talk to each other. It was super, super bizarre.”

“MTV is deeply saddened to learn the news of Christopher ‘Big Black’ Boykin’s passing,” MTV said in a statement, obtained by PEOPLE. “He was a longtime and beloved member of the MTV family and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this time.”

Cara cepat mencari kata di sebuah artikel blog. Kemajuan dunia IT sudah tak terbendung lagi. Di manapun orang berada dengan mudah mengakses informasi di internet dengan perangkat yang praktis seperti android. Lihatlah di sekeliling ketika anda di terminal, stasiun, tempat tongkrongan, dan bahkan sambil berkendara mereka tidak ingin ketinggalan berita. Mengapa demikian? Itulah perkembangan teknologi saat ini. Namun, dibalik pesatnya teknologi informatika masih banyak hal-hal yang tidak dikuasai pengguna internet. Salah satunya adalah hal sepele, misalnya mencari salah satu kata atau kalimat pada saat mendarat pada sebuah artikel yang kita tuju. Hal ini menurut saya penting, karena berhubungan dengan apa yang sebenarnya kita cari. Misalnya saja anda mencari sebuah istilah. Ketika mengetikkan suatu kata atau kalimat pada search di google.id/com, pastinya anda akan diantarkan pada sebuah artikel atau posting yang mengandung keyword kata tersebut. Tetapi betapa kecewanya setelah sampai pada...

SPECIAL EFFECTS ANIMATION

SPECIAL EFFECTS ANIMATION. Made with computer effects that go on in the editing process known as CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) Effects or Visual Effects - Special Effects instead. But in the CGI there are other terms that might be a little confusing, that is, Special Effects Animation. Special Effects Animation is a branch of the animation (which is a function of the CGI scope.) This field is specialized to make all the moving objects, except the characters. For characters, this field is called Character Animation. Special Effects Animation can make objects ranging from cars, buildings, rain, wind, fire, lasers, water and other natural phenomena. So, when you use 3D software to create certain effects, say you're making Special Effects Animation. But after these effects are integrated in the film in post production, the result is you're making Visual Effects.

Pembelajaran siswa berbasis online

Pembelajaran siswa berbasis online. Tak dapat dibendung kemajuan dunia teknologi saat ini. Baik perkembangan dunia komputer maupun gadget. Coba lihat di sekitar anda, siap yang tidak memiliki handphone. Saya yakin hampir setiap rumah memilikinya. Bahkan tak sedikit saya lihat anak-anak sudah pandai mengoperasikan ponsel pintar android. Lalu apa hubungannya dengan dunia pendidikan? Suatu saat teman pernah bercerita bahwa anaknya sekarang males megang buku. Setiap ada tugas dari sekolah dia selalu membuka tablet untuk menyelesaikan PRnya. Dari contoh tersebut lalu saya berfikir, "seandainya setiap pendidik memiliki sebuah blog untuk pembelajaran bagi siswanya". Bukankah seorang pendidik lebih cepat memberikan materi bagi muridnya? Sang gurupun tak harus terlalu banyak bicara untuk menyampaikan pelajaran, siswa disuruh membaca dan pertanyaan pun bisa mengalir. Bukankah ini juga interaktif? Itu hanyalah sekilas dalam fikiran saya lhoh he he. Namun, bukan tak mungkin masih banyak ...
