First test in Grad School
I have my first test of graduate school today: I500. I’ll have to recite all my knowledge about topics such as the history of computing, computer architecture, how computers do math, Boolean operations, the Perl programming language, UNIX, and a bunch of other stuff. I think I’m ready…I’ve studied by building a pretty good cheat…

Emotional Rollercoaster
Man, this evening has been somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster. I can’t really define what it has been more of…work life, personal life…Kinda like 2 bombs dropping at the exact same time. I kinda deserved a kick in the rear though, life seemed too easy for a while there. This will have been my second…

Double Entries
I must say, I’m absolutely impressed that people find time to update their blogs many times in a single day. It’s great for the readers, but how do these people find the time? It’s not that it’s really that hard to do, it’s just that once I update my blog, I generally forget about it…

It’s getting cold…
It’s getting cold…those around me would probably say it’s not too bad for Indiana, but for me it’s just getting a bit too nippy for comfort. It’ll get into the mid 60s today…perhaps I’m whining, but it just seems a little unfair that the high will reach 83 today at home. That’s a striking 18…

Bloglines
So, this whole blogging thing has been rather one-sided lately. You see, I read them all the time these days. I’ve been using this site called Bloglines, which takes all my blogs and puts them into a list, then lets me know when new posts are added to each. Cool, huh? I no longer need…

My new iMac
This morning something very interesting happened. I felt bad. Though I wasn’t sure I should have. As I was hanging out in a computer lab at school, I overheard someone (who was yelling) say that he just bought a *brand new* Apple iMac G5 on Amazon.com for $110. As fast as I could, I surfed…

The Word “I”
Of the six previous entries I have made on this Blogger system, 3 start with the word “I.” At first, I found this slightly odd, and perhaps problematic. It’s not that I am bothered by a little self-indulgence or some egotistical writing, but really, is the blog experience really supposed to be all about one’s…

A Short Autobiography
I was born in a blizzard, so say my parents. It was a cold April night in Chicago when my parents ate a last minute dinner of Chinese food, just in time for my life to begin. Needless to say, to this day I am fond of both international cuisine and cold weather (well, at…

I stand here in a towel
I stand here in a towel, brooding with things to say. There is so much on my mind, but at the same time, so little. I do my best thinking in the shower. The shower is probably a place of intense thought for many people. It’s not often you’re allowed to be alone, naked, relaxed,…

Immediately Inspired
I am immediately inspired. (It took a considerably long time to think of the word ‘inspired’…I hope my brain is not too out of shape.) See, I have never been able to get into the world of blogging. I have been invited, of course many times, and often I am called back to give it…
