My list this year is half productive, half anti-productive. Video games are the bane of productivity for me, and are honestly the most addictive things for my body. I would never take a chance investing in a game console or games while in school. But [...]

My desk space is... kind of cluttered and uneventful.
Well, I figured it's about time I put my own desk up here. The world wants to know.

There's plenty of hype about "cloud" software these days. Many engineers argue back and forth about the benefits of developing software in the Cloud. In many ways, cloud software is nothing new. [...]
Toward the end of the summer, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon ran a contest to find their next intern. The show received thousands of submissions and they whittled everything down to one person. Competition was fierce. Hell, I even entered.

Unbeknownst to most of our generation, the drinking age was--kind of recently--below the age of 21. In fact, it wasn't until the National Minimum Drinking Age Act that the United States mandated that all' [...]
