The Plan:

Ok, so first day of class is done. I’ve seen all of my professors, had a bit of a hint of how class is going to work and taken some time to figure out how I am going to manage it all.

So here goes, my grand master plan for tackling all of my courses:

The power of blogging… my first taste.

I haven’t been blogging for a long time… something that is patently obvious from the lack of actual posts on this blog. You can’t blame me… I used to believe (as many non-bloggers… and even more bloggers do) that blogs are for complaining about your life and…

The RSS aggregators are fighting over me!

Well no, they aren’t really fighting over me, I guess they are fighting over the world, but still they are making it very hard for me to organize me life. But let me start at the beginning.

In the eye of the midterm storm:

Well, it’s been a few hectic weeks of midterms and an eye opener as to the ways in which I learn. So, as boring as lists are, here is my midterm damage assessment.

1. Study what you’re interested in and if you don’t have a choice about what you…

Get Teched Up!

My presentation on academic tech tools went as well as could be expected. About 15 out of the 100 people invited showed up (which is apparently really good for an academic program in residence). I got mixed reactions, there were some bored looks but then there were also those who saw things like…

What is a student?

Google Calendar… the journey begins…

Wow, what a hectic couple of weeks. Advisor training was one of the most fantastic experiences of my life, made even more so by the fantastic group of people that choose to go into residence life. It was stressful to be pulled away from my beloved technology for so…

Do it yourself learning.

The First Post:

Right, here goes, the first post in blog section of my new site. As of yet I have no idea what the tone of this blog will be, nor am decided on what content it will deal with, but I guess starting off aimlessly is better than not starting off…

I find this really funny

OK, I am just too much of a Computer Scientist, this has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a very long time:

Updates on my world of Tech:

My ridiculously large workload says I shouldn’t be blogging right now… but I’m sticking it to the man!

Update 1: Podcasting

I failed miserably, I really just wasn’t interested in listening to lectures again and…

Where to study?

I am currently sitting in a small coffee lounge and bistro near campus where I have been studying for the past three hours. This is probably the longest consecutive amount of time I have studies since I started school this term! Terrible as that may be it leads me to ponder why I have been more…
