As you can see I haven’t written anything in awhile, but there has been quite a bit going on.
I started working on a little project we were talking about in my algorithms class, I dubbed the implementation ImageShrink. I don’t really plan on doing any development towards but it creates a really cool visual effect [...]

One of my WD Raptor hard drives died (it was Raid0, so ruined a lot..). So, I decided to try using Windows Vista when the replacement came. I thought it would be an appropriate time to upgrade.
Vista has received a lot of flack for its performance issues, but my computer is more than capable enough [...]

I realize I haven’t written much of anything lately, but things have still been going on..
I’ve spent a lot of time working, this is good because I get money, this is also bad because it is quite time consuming. However, I have had enough time to do some interesting things.
I went to New York last [...]

I saw Mark Warner the other day (former Virginia governor), and shook his hand. He was very charismatic and a good speaker. I am confident he will be a good person to have in the Senate for the entire US.
Jay-Z and Beyonce got married recently (both are very talented artists) — and I saw an [...]

I’ve been pretty busy — mostly with school stuff. Projects have been hitting hard as the semester winds down.  Made a digital thermometer in electronics, kind of cool.  We had a CS project that was to create a kind of online game, but really more closely resembles a glorified IRC.
I was inspired by NSA@Home and [...]

As you might have noticed, I’m in the process of reworking my page layout. I hope to achieve a slightly more intuitive interface with better handling of pictures and permanent subpages.
I have added pages for GAMVL and another project, jab2web, that I have been working. Pages are available either at the top of the page [...]

So, I just got back from Mexico for our spring break. It was lots of fun and coming home I already miss 80 some degrees, blue water, and lots to do. I just went with a couple of friends and it was a nice break from school.We saw the ruins of Tulum which was a [...]

This post is inspired by Tommy Murphy’s post of the same name, inspired by the Engineering School t-shirts… Lately there have been some major communications issues and general items that make little to no sense.
First, I shall start off with the bathroom situation in our main building — check out the attached pictures. You will [...]

We had our first good snow of the season yesterday We got ~4 inches which was certainly nice. I went by the Rotunda to take pictures, but I only had my cell at the time so the pictures aren’t that great, but still look good The lens started to fog up a bit, [...]

So I realize that I have not posted in a long time .. oops!I shall start off with my car. Someone hit my car long ago, and I had been meaning to fix it up and upgrade from the 95 style front end to the newer 1998+ front end. Finally, this summer I took the [...]

As you probably know, I am going off to Europe for the next few weeks with my brother, Matt. We will visit Barcelona, London, Paris, Rome and Venice.I will have pretty limited access to the internet, but feel free to write me an email or leave a facebook message (I would love to hear from [...]

I realize I haven’t written on here for awhile so here it goes..
I went to Boston a few weeks ago to visit Matt before he graduates. It was a really fun time — we saw the Red Sox come back in the bottom of the 8th to hit 5 runs and take the lead [...]

Spring break was a good time and a much needed break from the rather chaotic and always busy college life.  I got to visit will up in Penn State which was fun, proceeded to visit my extended family for a day and back home. I went to my first NBA game to see the Wizards [...]

I will be the first to admit that I don’t update my blog enough, so I’ll try to get better at that. I just switched (rather seamlessly) to a new webhost (http://made2own.com).
Winter break was fun, it was nice to be home to see family and other friends. The winter has been unseasonably warm (I [...]

Wow, I realize I haven’t written anything on here for literally months. So far, UVA has been a lot of fun and I’m really surprised to find it November already and passing from fall to winter. It seems a little weird to get dressed up for football games and be able to see mountains around [...]
