So I’ve skipped a huge swath of my life in this blog (most of moving, getting an apartment, moving in, getting furniture, etc.) but for the time being I don’t feel like taking the time to write all of those details out. So instead, you get a jump to present day, with a good summary [...]

For some reason, Nick and I have been finding a bunch of dead bees on the floor of our kitchen for the past 2 days, about 5 total so far. They appear to be crawling out from under the fridge, and barely able to fly. The one live one I’ve found so far I had [...]

It’s 8pm on Thursday evening when I started to write this, which was really the first chance I’ve had for some downtime in a long while. In a way it’s boring, but in a way it’s nice to not have anything to do. It’s a long entry, and I’m just now finishing it on Saturday. [...]

It’s been about 10 years since I last did a puzzle - you know, the picture that gets cut up into 500, 1000, or even 1500 pieces that you have to piece together by hand? In today’s age of ultra-realistic 3-D computer games, I get this feeling that standard puzzles are a dying breed - [...]

Digging through the referrers for the family business website, I stumbled across this article from Adult Video News. I may be a CS major and a geek, but this stuff is still cool.

As proctor at Mudd, one of the things I supply to my dorm is candy and condoms. For most dorms, that’s about an equal split - you’ll have to check each respective bowl every week or two for refills.
