Happy Hanukkah!

December 8, 2008

Happy Hanukkah! You know, I haven’t yet seem Menorah’s around campus (and I doubt I will), but Christmas carols are being played on the radio and Kline, our dining hall, is slowly becoming red and green. Digital Hanukkah. Photo Credit: oskay. In America, or anywhere in the world, really, excluding Israel and other non-Christian parts [...]

Life in the Cloud: Introduction

November 2, 2008

Now that I am in college, I have a decently-fast Internet connection around the clock. I have noticed myself moving more of my activities online – I’m not using the desktop (or laptop, in this case) as much. I’m hoping to start a four or five part series about cloud life and what it’s like [...]

October 24, 2008

The MacBook Pro on a Griffin Elevator. On Wednesday, I received my new Apple MacBook Pro 15″. I upgraded from a 2006 Black MacBook – a huge step up. If you did not already know, my MacBook had lots of problems – first, during the summer of 2006, I had to send my laptop into [...]

Review: LoveSac GamerSac

October 12, 2008

The LoveSac in my dorm room. LoveSac is a company that makes “Alternative Furniture,” things like bean bag chairs, couches, and blankets, stufed with DuraFoam, a long-lasting stuffing material unlike beans or feathers. I bought a GamerSac, a 3-foot diameter bean bag chair. They are expensive, but my first impressions are that this product is [...]

My blogging practices have evolved a lot lately, especially now that my entire life is structured differently (being in college and all). i’ve been thinking a lot about the purpose of my blog, especially since I made several design improvements over the past few weeks.

September 7, 2008

I’ve been at Bard College for a month now; the Workshop in Language and Thinking is over, and I began my “real” courses last Monday.

Language and Thinking

August 17, 2008

I’m in college. A little early, but that’s the way Bard College does it. All freshman take a three-week workshop called “Language and Thinking.” So far, being at Bard has been an amazing experience. I love being in such an intellectually stimulating environment. I have an excellent teacher, Thomas Bartscherer, and a great class – [...]

Podcamp Boston 3

August 6, 2008

PodCamp Boston 3 was amazing. The venue this year was unbelievable, thank you, Harvard! It was easier to run into people this year, which was fun. PodCamp Boston 2 was nice and big, but this year the event was very close knit. I was more social at PCB3, and this year overall – last year [...]

Israel, Vienna, Berlin, and More

July 31, 2008

I haven’t blogged in a while, so I’m going to talk about my big trip to Israel, Vienna, and Berlin. This trip changed my life, in so many ways. I believe it is imperative that more American’s see the world. There’s so much great “stuff” out there to be seen. We really do live in [...]
