So you might have noticed that I haven’t posted the 3rd part of the Toljari Cycle yet. It turns out that I am awful at estimating appropriate settings for laser cutters, and as such have tried cutting 2 boards in as many days without success (with restricted access to the cutter at NYC Resistor). So […]
And so it ends. Hello, world.
The 2nd annual Devfest concluded… half a week ago, now. It was also my last, but nevermind that (you mean lounging around at student hackathons is NOT a viable post-academia career path??)? You can already find out the whats and whens and wheres of Devfest, and perhaps the hows and whys if you tie up […]
A biting cold, pressing crowds, a barrage of sound, hints of snow filtering past enormous buildings, a touch of music, a place to lay a tired head. Hello again, New York. I’m back.
Upon reflection, I realize I had planned to have a job tied up much sooner, and not still be planning out my life after school going into my last semester. Or, perhaps I have a skewed sense of when it makes sense to hire people. Usual employees don’t plan out 8 months in advance when […]
As is tradition, New Year, new resolutions. This year, I resolve to: Make some noise: I’ll code whether or not I put it down as a resolution, so I’m not worried about that. However, getting myself off the ground as a computer musician is a much more variable prospect, and it may as well use […]
I remember hiking through the woods, alone. Which is somewhat surprising, because I was part of a big group of Boy Scouts, which started off hiking through the wilderness in single file. Then those faster pulled ahead, and the slower ones fell behind, and I eventually found myself trekking through quiet glades without a soul […]
An approximation of a nightmare ends, and something new begins. Now that I have the time and the equipment, let’s do something new: Cook ALL the things: cook at least one thing a day. My cooking-fu is not nearly strong enough to survive on my own, so I need to level up quickly before I […]
Chilly night, possibly preceding a snowfall. Feeble jackets won’t keep the cold out for long. My hackathon illness seems to have followed me from California: HackNY saw me talking with people rather than finishing something. And getting 4 hours of sleep, which is simultaneously tolerable and not. Or more generally, it seems the pace of […]
Oh god so much stuff to do. Reprap: stuff is happening. It’s really coming together. Family Reunion: hitch in the plans, currently on a short Family Reunion. But yeah, so many irons in the fire. Workin’ in 2 more weeks for the summer, and then it’s quench time.
