I realize that I’ve been really slow about blogging lately, so I’ll try to give a quick update and then give some more detailed posts soon!  I’ve also given in to Twitter (@seancolyer ) if interested. It’s my last semester and I’ve been really busy between finishing projects (and my thesis!), trying to enjoy Charlottesville [...]

Over winter break I was fortunate enough to make it to Whistler for some skiing — one of the main locations for the 2010 Winter Olympics.  Even though the Olympics wouldn’t start for nearly a month, preparations were well under way, the resort had an empty grand stand by a freshly crafted chairlift — soon [...]

So, yes, I’ve been really bad about updating this — so there are probably going to be several posts in short time. My good friend, Miles, from high school was graduating from the U of Miami, so a bunch of us went down to visit him. We showed up in the middle of December, but [...]

My school year so far as a non chronological twitter feed… Ride to school. Get drenched. Sneak to the floor of Girl Talk concert. Go to Chinese. Drop Chinese. Break my finger. Go to student health, hospital, student health, orthopedics, physical therapy, still only a broken finger. Find a thesis topic. Go riding. Weekend in [...]

While I was in Australia, I became an uncle.  I met my niece a few weeks ago, she’s adorable. Sorry, these pictures were generally mediocre at best.

No, I am in fact not homeless. Nearly everyone it seems was very concerned about my sandals.  It was rare I would carry out a conversation with someone I had just met or friends I hadn’t seen in sometime without being questioned about my sandals. The story goes like this.. My brother and I were [...]

I just got an email in my gmail account from Grand Central about upgrading to Google Voice.  I just performed the upgrade and I’m pretty excited about the new features offered by Google Voice. Grand Central for those who don’t know was a service (bought by google) that provides a single phone number for you, [...]

So I’ve done a minimal amount of coding while I’m here. But I have posted updates to both the Facebook Imaging Spider and GAMVL

If you could have only one pot/pan for cooking, what would you choose? When I was at Big W in my first few days here, the answer for me became obvious. A Wok. I’ve been pretty satisfied, you can cook on the bottom like a frying pan or boil water, and it’s also large enough [...]

So I’m now in Melbourne, Victoria Australia, but before I came I stopped to visit my brother Matt for a few days in San Francisco. You might have noticed that based on a previous post about baffling airplane ticket prices… Anyway.. San Francsisco was a really good time, and we really did a whirlwind of [...]

I realized that I never posted about the Inuaguration of President Barack Obama (44). I went downtown for the event which was amazing that so many people had gathered, I think the crowd estimates were ~1.5 million people. Wow. It was funny being in the city when everyone was a tourist and had no idea [...]

So I’m going to Australia very soon and when I was looking at booking airline flights, there was quite an anomally.. My plan involves 3 flights. From DC to San Fransisco to visit for a few days, from San Fransisco to Australia a few days later and then several months later back from Australia. Since [...]

It’s a family tradition that we always go hunting for the family Christmas tree. Ideally, the weather is freezing, and we decide to cut down a tree as far away from everything as possible. However, it’s always a fun adventure and we do get some pretty good trees and have fun at the same time.. [...]

I’ve had some pretty terrible luck with large corporations lately. I’ve decided to log my irritating adventures: Amazon Recently I saw FarCry 2 at a good price at Amazon.com, $40. I thought I would buy it on something of a whim, so I place my order. I happen to look at the same item on [...]

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 [...]
