It’s been 3 weeks since my last post and that is starting to become disappointingly normal. Summer has drawn to a close and the first week of school has flown by. I also got a part-time job during that first week. Friday was my first day and was pretty fun. I’m on a team of [...]

It’s getting harder and harder to post. I’m done with summer classes. Two A’s and a C, so Fall will have to be better. The C was in my easiest class funny enough. I’ve got 16 days of freedom left. Today was my birthday. I felt compelled to post something…and I settled on poetry since [...]
It’s bedtime here but I couldn’t help but post this quote by kragensitaker from reddit. I’ve always meant to get around to writing an explanation of why I think Computer Science is a lovely discipline. This addresses it in a very different way than I was hoping to but absolutely merits posting here. Well, a [...]
Battle at the Berrics 3 is coming up. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s a game of Skate between some of the worlds best skateboarders. For those of you who don’t know what Skate is, it’s like Horse in Basketball except you spell Skate and battle over skateboarding tricks rather [...]

A year ago today, my Dad, John M. Glenn Jr died of non-smokers lung cancer. Mom and I still miss him terribly but I think if he were here he’d be proud of how we’ve carried on and on how much we’ve accomplished and enjoyed in the intervening time. Wherever you are John Glenn, you [...]

Today is the first day of my summer courses. I’ll be taking Distributed Computing, Programming Language Concepts, Information Security Administration, Astronomy and the corresponding Astronomy lab and cramming all that into 8 weeks. Hooray. The Distributed Computing and PLC courses are online which helps ease my scheduling and transportation concerns somewhat…though by the end of [...]
It’s been a hell of semester. And if you don’t get the title reference, click here and then watch lots of Studio 60 and The West Wing. This semester had everything. There was a cash shortfall due to my not requesting enough Financial Aid loans because I was unaware that online courses cost almost twice [...]

Things have been crazy lately but I’m not here to give a full update. I will say that there’s been good with the bad, family, friends and supporters all the while and that the bad is mostly the usual bureaucratic and financial troubles that are just a part of life. I’m trying to post more [...]
2010 has, to date, been an odd year. I’m not entirely sure what I expected but I had something more idyllic in mind. The last two weeks, I’ve been struggling mightily with some personal issues and come to recognize some character flaws in the process. That’s never fun. In particular, I have some communication problems [...]
The last week has been thoroughly insane in ways both good and bad. As a gift, I had my thoroughly aged Nokia 6010 replaced by a shiny new Nexus One. Much as I would’ve liked an N900 they aren’t subsidized by any carrier and so will remain out of my price range. I’ve also switched [...]
