Here you'll find updates on big events in my life as well as photos, a calendar, and my resume.
I feel the need to write something about CIS 308 and the experience that I’ve had with it over the past few months. The trouble is, I don’t really know how to say what I want without sounding arrogant, condescending, or resentful…. go figure.
It looks like it’s been a while since I’ve written I felt the need to update, but at the same time there’s nothing really newsworthy and exciting to report.
Is anybody else bothered when the people “in charge” don’t seem to care about something nearly as much as the people that are under them?
I find it nearly impossible to stay motivated in that situation…. blah.
Prompted by Travis Bradshaw’s recent response to Jesse Greenwald’s post about office spaces and design, I started thinking about what my chances are of ending up in an environment like that instead of a cube farm or prison like I’ve had the pleasures of working in thus far.

Suck.
Today started off bad — the guy who I share a bathroom with got up about 30 seconds earlier than I did, so I awake to the sound of the bathroom door closing. Ok, I hadn’t really budgeted in time to sit around and twiddle my thumbs, but I made the most of my down [...]
I’m so glad that I grew up in the family I did. And I’m happy that growing up, even though I always felt that I wasn’t part of the cool crowd, I didn’t ever feel a huge amount of pressure to change myself to try to be more like those cool kids. Whenever [...]
