GITI’s biggest problem as far as development and module completion is my inability to create an effective and useful UI. I can’t see in my head how things should look and outside of the first few modules I don’t really know how I would really want to present things anyway. Cookbook is the present module […]
This blog began as a way for me to record events during my college career. I began as a very frightened freshman, and had a lot of anxieties to expose to myself and to my readers. I have grown out of my anxieties and have become more of my own person since then. Things still […]
Here is a shot of the moon I took tonight using the new 500mm reflector lens. The new lens is interesting. It puts a haze over everything that I photo except objects that emit their own light or have a substantial glow about them. This shot is a little blurry, but that is a result […]

“Discuss, based on your own and other’s experiences, how kids learn about sex.” This question was posted as part of the assignment for my Theories of Personality course for this week. I found myself wondering about why sex is such a forbidden thing in society and why sexuality is often obscured and euphemized. Sex is […]
I used to hate mid-term grades, but that was because they used to be such a negative thing.
