Math *IS* Hard.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

I very rarely run into people who are absolutely pathetic at basic math. Last night on the way to a volunteering engagement, I stopped by a coffee shop to get something to tide me over till the event ended. So my total comes to $3.14. I hand the cashier $20 and then I check my [...]

A Beautiful English Summer

Monday, June 25th, 2007

I know I’ve been quite quiet the last few weeks. Since the last time that I wrote anything here I’ve gotten a new job and have been doing my thing for the last few weeks. I’m currently in the UK at a customer site attempting to work on some software that they sort of have [...]

Alternate Realities Courtesy of Google

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

So, I was curious to see what would happen if I ran my name through Google. I’m sure a lot of people do this from time to time. It is kind of fun to see all the people who exist in the world with your name. There’s a famous soccer player in the U.K. named [...]

Bogged Down

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

I’ve been so bogged down with school work the last few weeks. I’ve been working on my AI project a lot the last few days and that isn’t going quite as well as I had hoped. I had a number of midterms the last few weeks. Those had a few good and bad moments. We’re [...]

Cover letters? I thought that’s what envelopes were for…

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

After entirely too long I am finally getting started on my job search. I’m trying to figure out how to go about writing a decent cover letter. I’ve written maybe one cover letter, ever, and I don’t think I actually used it at the time. It was mostly to get a little practice. It was [...]

This is why I love the internet

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

It’s great art like this that makes me enjoy the internet. The internet does occasionally have a few redeeming factors.
Update:
It just keeps getting better. Apparently the cavemen from the Geico commercials have a little semi-viral website about them. I think it’s kind of cute in a cenozoic kind of way. You should check it out.

Why yes, everything on there is completely true

Monday, February 5th, 2007

It appears that there is a career fair at Northeastern on Wednesday. I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to wear. I won’t have any opportuntities to change on Wednesday so I’ll need something that is comfortable, but still appears professional and appropriate for the occasion. What to wear? What to wear?

Subjective Tinnitus

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

So my friend Mike is in this cover band called Boston Common and they played their fairly weekly show at the Tap last night. It was the first time that I had the opportunity to check out Boston Common and I must say. They rock out…HARD. They played a lot of the hits and a [...]

One Step Closer

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

I’m finished with my Senior Seminar class. I had to give a twenty or so minute presentation to the class on a topic of my choosing that is somehow related to my major. I chose to give a presentation on Next Generation Networking which consists of a set of technologies ( VoIP, SIP & IMS [...]

Our Bodily Fluids!!!

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

So how about this whole issue with the no liquid carry-ons(in the context of aircraft)? It’s a little crazy. They just think they are trying to make explosives, but really they are plotting to contaminate our bodily fluids!
