The Big Three-Oh
I turned thirty this week, and it was not at all the traumatic experience I was fearing. Instead, I took a nice, leisurely day to myself on the actual day, and then had a whole week of scattered lunches, dinners, coffees, drinks, etc, with various friends. It was pretty … Read More →
Snow Day
School is cancelled today because of the 8 – 12 inches of snow we’re supposed to get, and even though I don’t have any classes until tomorrow afternoon, that still means I am entitled to slack off and write a blog post! I’m hoping this week’s blizzard is the final last … Read More →
Functioning Camera = Blog Posts!
The title of this blog post comes from a recent conversation with my mom, where I was talking about my blogging prospects now that my lovely, trusty old camera has lost the will to focus properly. In response, the mailman delivered a tiny package wrapped in brown paper, … Read More →

You couldn’t hear it, but the internet just got WAY bigger.
In the subtle-but-important department, this week the internet observed a small milestone. To understand it, one must know a little bit about domains. Domains are those names you type in the address bar at the top of your browser window, after the http and ending with something … Read More →
RISD President Announced
RISD announced yesterday that John Maeda will be taking over the role of President when Roger Mandle steps down at the end of his school year. Pretty cool! It wasn’t the direction I expected the school to take, but considering I’ve currently got two library books … Read More →
Gainfully employed, woohoo!
After three years of living on a student schedule, I have finally returned to the working world and gotten a “real job.” I eased into it, though, working two days a week for a month before officially starting last week. The company is called Memento, Inc, and we serve the banking … Read More →
