Let it snow
Drove into Chicago yesterday morning. Beat the traffic, but not the snow. I realized that it was my first time in the snow within a large city. It was definitely my first time driving in the snow. My car and I handled it well. Just drove really slow and there were no problems. A lot…

Really Awesome Displays
It’s been a while since I’ve commented on the topic I study every day, HCI (Human-Computer Interaction, in case you’ve forgotten…it really has been a while). I sit here waiting for some CDs to burn and continuously think to myself that it won’t be long until I will never have to *wait* for my computer…

The Sound of Settling
“I’ve got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots, that my tongue has tied off. My brain’s repeating, if you’ve got a hunger let it out, but they never make it past my mouth. Ba ba, this is the sound of settling. (3.5X) Are you this fleeting? Old age is just around the bend. I…

Little Moments
Complex little monkeys, we are. I sometimes theorize that life is made up of a lot of playtime, work, and intense little moments. These intense little moments are more important than anything else you do. In one’s memory they stand out and are excessively clear. One that pops into my head nearly every time I…

Just another Friday night

You will not get the full effect of these interactions if you use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer to view my interaction…

Jesus Christ, Super Star
Just saw my first musical in Indiana…”Jesus Christ Super Star” was pretty good, I thought. Went with E and T…I think they enjoyed it as well. I’m not so knowledgable when it comes to the Christian religion, Jesus, etc., so I was definitely lost at some points. It’s all good though. Now I have the…

A simple experiment
I’m conducting a simple experiment with myself this week. As I drove to school last Wednesday around 10:30AM, I kept thinking about how early in the day it felt to me. I then immediately thought myself a fool. 10:30 in the morning should not feel early! So I’ve taken it upon myself to go to…
