So, I foreshadowed future posts with my last post but nothing materialized out of that. I apologize.
My life is pretty boring which in my opinion makes my posts pretty boring. Producing boring content is not its own reward; it doesn’t matter how zen you think you are. On the other hand, it’s annoying when people are always asking me how I’m doing so I should probably try to post brief updates here from time to time. This is one of those times.
Instead of a small book of boring everyday minutiae, I’ll instead focus on the areas of my life which matter most to me.

I don’t update my blog a lot so people don’t read it. When people do read it they think it’s pretty lame. That’s all fine, the purpose of the blog is to provide updates to people who care when I have time.
Since last time I graduated from MIT with a BS in computer science and have begun my summer job as a TA in the MITES program. I have a great group of kids and look forward to teaching them something about programming and life.
This year we’re doing iPhone applications which means I get to learn something about coding for the Macintosh platform. In order to facilitate this I bought a new Macbook Pro which came with an iPod touch.
I’ve also been accepted in to the Master of Engineering program in EECS here at MIT. I’m deferring it for awhile though because I’m going to go work for Square Enix in Japan.
I have a lot of things I need/want to do this summer. I hope I can manage to get some of them done. 😉
That’s all for now. Maybe I’ll update more often in the future.
Contrary to what the title may make you think, this post isn’t about cheesy G rated movies on ABC which you might have watched during a better more simple time. It’s about my plans post school. That golden time when I get to join the work force and become a productive member of society.
In this case, not this society, but Japan’s. That’s right, I’ve decided to go to back to Square Enix to work full time after school.
This was a tricky decision which took a lot of soul searching to arrive out. In the end, SE has a vision and a mission which is simply more exciting than the other places I looked at.
It will take a bit for me to get my visa after a graduate so I’m still up in the air about what I’ll do for the summer. I’ve applied to MITES but besides that it’s up in the air.
If I don’t get to do that, I’ll just chill in Kansas doing nothing, or maybe fun projects or possibly anything at all.
First, I have to graduate. 😛
It’s a bit unfortunate that it’s so easy to see how bad I’ve been about updating this blog. A quick glance down to the last post shows almost a 7 month hiatus on my part. With such a lapse in my main form of communication with other possibly interested lifeforms, you might think that I’ve been keeping people up to date through other more traditional methods. This is not the case. Various forms of activities, each more pressing than the last, has made me one of the worst correspondents of all time. I don’t feel like doing work so I guess now is as good a time as any to break one bad habit.
I’ve decided to make this entry more of coming back post than anything else. A flashback episode to get us caught up to events more relevant to the status quo.
I survived the last semester of school pretty well. It was my hardest term but also my best term with respect to grades. This was also the time of my main job hunt (I have to leave school eventually) which required me to fly all sorts of places which gave me less time do work and turned one A into a B.
Now, I’m into another term which I’m supposed to be taking easy, but at the same time have all sorts of added responsibilities and unsurprisingly still no real time for my various hobbies and pet projects. Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch up a bit in the near future and develop some kind of sane schedule before I graduate. I’m not holding my breath.
Future posts will cover my future after MIT, spring break, and maybe other stuff less related to my life depending on how much I care to share.
Wish me luck.
Well, it’s been slightly more than a month since I last posted and sadly the reason isn’t that I have little to say just that I have so little time to say it. I keep a list of things to blog about but I never get around to the interesting things because I’m just trying to talk about the less interesting things which make up the majority of my life. So, in the interest of that, here’s a recap.

So, the other day I took a few hours out of my busy schedule to fix things on my site that have been needed to be fixed for a few months. Here’s a description of the changes:
