Happy February!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been busy video gaming and doing other stuff. I’m in the middle of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and I have a string of other games that I need to finish. As usual, I’ve been playing around with web stuff (mainly JavaScript and jQuery). I’ll eventually start writing about some [...]

Critics

Critics who treat “adult” as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And [...]

Becoming Ambidextrous

Becoming Ambidextrous

Time to reveal another one of my goals for this year. Learning Latin is one of them. So, what’s next? I want to be ambidextrous. I’m left-handed, so that means I want to be right-handed, too. I think I can do it. I know I can. Besides, the odds are in my favor.

The Woes of Tax Season

The Woes of Tax Season

Taxes. Ugh. Spare me the drama. Tax season is different for everyone. It used to be a good time of the year for me, but this year and last year have been nothing short of craptastic. Most people expect to get a tax refund after they do their taxes. Unfortunately, I’m one of the unlucky [...]

What’s your personality type?

What’s your personality type?

I’ve been obsessed with personality types lately. You gain such a greater understanding of yourself and others when you realize what forms the basis of those personalities. In college, my friends and I were required to take something called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This psychological assessment gave us a little more insight into how [...]

Free Piano Lessons

Free Piano Lessons

Photo by sir_leif Guess what I got for Christmas: A Yamaha YPT-310 Digital Keyboard! I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano, and now with an instrument to play on, there’s nothing stopping me. Well, there’s still the matter of how to go about learning the piano. What is something free and easy that [...]

A Year Later

Pitiful! Pitiful I say! It’s been almost a year since I’ve updated my website. With the release of WordPress 2.7, I’ve decided to pay more attention to this poor little site. I’ll try to update my site more often. I pay for this site’s hosting every year, so I ought to use it now and [...]

How to Get Math Support in MediaWiki

I’ve been playing with MediaWiki a lot lately. (It’s the wiki software that Wikipedia uses, if you didn’t know.) It’s a nice piece of software, but compared to something like WordPress, it’s fairly complex to set up. Getting math support on MediaWiki was especially difficult for me. It took me a while, but I finally [...]

I've Been Busy

Wow, it’s been a while since I last updated this site. In my defense, I’ve been busy. Trust me: college gives me enough things to do. I don’t know when I’ll have time, but I want to work on redesigning this site again. I’ve learned a few new things about AJAX and PHP. I’ve grown [...]
