  • Inferior Service Pirates (ISP’s)

    Inferior Service Pirates (ISP’s)

    Hey everyone, I have been a little lax of late in coming up with poignant things to talk about, but I really think I’ve outdone myself today in being much more broadly appealing than usual! Today I would like to share my thoughts revolving around a topic I’m sure we all consider very important, and…

  • Recent and Random (bonus: Introspective)

    Recent and Random (bonus: Introspective)

    Hello and welcome back everyone, it has been a slightly off week so far, as I came down with a little cold/cough/sicky thing, and so doing anything besides lying around like a log has been rather difficult. I have decided, however, that it is time to write a little more. Since I don’t really have…

  • Typing into the future

    Typing into the future

    Hey everybody, this is a test blog post which is also sort of a product review. It has been a while since I last wrote, and so as to not give the indication that I’ve given up on blogging, I thought I’d write a little something here. I recently sold my laptop, which was instrumental…

  • In a Blink

    Hey again everybody, There has been plenty of discussion about Steve Jobs in the last day or so and in the interest of not duplicating the thousands of articles and memorials I would like to talk about a somewhat related but personal take on my feelings in the last day. These sentiments have presented themselves…

  • Multi (hold-on) tasking

    After over a decade of using Windows-based PC systems (ranging from Windows 95 through the developer version of Windows 8) and two years of iPod Touch and iPhone operating systems, I have learned quite a few things about how computers work. However, that is not what I intend to talk about today. What I want…

  • What’s happening?

    Hey again everybody! First, I thought it would be nice to get a few details out of the way before I actually get to anything. I have finished my masters thesis and finally submitted it yesterday! This document took a lot of work and I’m really proud of the way it turned out. I don’t…

  • 5 Years in the Life (AKA my thesis’s acknowledgements section)

    I have posted below, my complete, unedited acknowledgements section which I plan to submit with my thesis.  I really would like to send a heartfelt thank you to these people as well as any others I’ve forgotten or didn’t include for one reason or another (though that seems hard to believe).  If you have any…

  • Social Not-working

    I’m working on my thesis full-time these days, and so I don’t really have time for a long post, but this has been bothering me more and more in recent weeks. Everybody needs to just shut up about everything. Sometimes, things change. Other times, things don’t change. This will continue to happen forever. Facebook and…

  • Just Friends

    Dear all of my acquaintances who I have on Facebook, Yay, now that Facebook does one way following (aka subscribing) I don’t have to feel bad about unfriending people. In other words, if you suddenly find I am not your friend anymore and are sad about the lack of posts, you can subscribe to me…

  • Becoming a Controvert

    Hey again, I’ve been lacking a little bit of late, though I do have several topics I’d like to broach, things I don’t really feel are always accepted topics of conversation but which I really would like to get out in the open and discuss. These topics really aren’t anything too extreme, just controversial for…
