I think I’ve read just enough to know that it is time to go Mac. I’ll be looking into getting an iBook as soon as I get paid back for the trip to Oregon, within the next few days. Anybody want a brand new IBM T42? I would say it’s sparkly clean, except for the…

If my worst days are like today, then I think I’m doing just fine. The two effectors: Flat tire on the car & getting locked out of the house. The latter was my fault, the former a freak accident… Went for a run this early afternoon. I had planned my day perfectly…my run was to…

It’s been too long since I’ve written a good blog entry. Sorry about that. Now it’s too late for me to promise a good one for this evening, but I’ll write a little bit anyway. Party at our house tomorrow. We’re celebrating E’s GF, N, being in town. That was far too many abbreviations/acronyms for…

So I came in to school yesterday morning to have a meeting and get some work done, when I was told that the Internet was down. “Whaaat!?” I said, astonished. The professor I was meeting with had to reschedule the meeting, but his aide was unable to see his schedule, because there was no internet.…

I’m now 16/24ths done with my ActionScript seminar. That’s right, two days down…and I’ve learned a lot so far. I’m not very thrilled with the seminar format. Basically we are just going through examples from a book…spending a lot of time simply typing code from the book into Flash and figuring out what it’s doing.…

So I’m headed to the SIG CHI Conference! My team’s project was a winner in the first round of the student competition. The best part of it all is that all four of the teams from the School of Informatics were accepted…meaning a whole bunch of us are going to be travelling to Portland together.…

There are going to be some changes going on around here, so don’t get used to anything… Following the creation of my new website, I have decided that I’m gonna make some changes to the look of my blog. They’ll come slowly, but surely. The most important thing is that if you do not like…

Hello all, my mom is standing behind me right now, watching how I blog. I think I heard a statistic today that said something like, “While ‘blog’ was the most searched word on the internet, 61% of internet users do not know what a blog is.” This is amazing, but pretty easy to believe. Those…

Not much time to write, but I wanted to relay a situation that just occurred. I’m in the middle of proofreading a paper and wasn’t sure if I wanted to use the word ‘affect’ or ‘effect’. I’m generally not bad at grammar and spelling, but affect and effect generally always confuse me. I’m gonna send…

I’ve been using some new and really really powerful technologies to build some cool interactions for websites lately. So back in the day I thought that a webpage could only be made using HTML. (HTML = HyperText Markup Language -> it’s the stuff that’s used to make the webpage you’re looking at look the way…
