I think the biggest thing to remember going into a new year is to try and not make the same mistakes you made the previous year. Also: 1. Don't suck 2. Don't be a bitch 3. Mwenye haja huenda choo Happy New Year!

132

December 16th 132 children were killed. They were killed because of what their parents did. 132. I don’t want children. Doesn’t mean I hate them. I don’t hate anyone. At least I try not to hate anyone. I watched The Bridge [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0799954/

A Look Back

Because I’m unoriginal let’s take a look back on the year of blog posts. At the beginning of the year I set out to write a blog post every Saturday [https://blog.golf1052.com/new-year-new-blog/] at 4PM for the entire year. I did…OK? Most blog posts were

Snow

I still have a strange childlike fascination with snow. [http://i.imgur.com/nZltBlO.png] The world just seems so different when it’s snowing. [http://i.imgur.com/ZrOk8Lq.png] It’s kind of magical. [http://i.imgur.com/7szIWTZ.png] Also there was a shit ton of ice

Personification

When creating characters in games it is important to think about why the character is the way they are… That’s pretty broad. Let me give an example. In Far Cry 3 (I’m going to give spoilers so…lol) you are Jason Brody. A random white dude who gets

Back Home

So I’m back home for Thanksgiving break. I have to take my brother to a dentist appointment in the morning. Also I pointed my site back to my original host provider since I didn’t set up nginx and Ghost correctly and I don’t really want to set

Moving Day

So it’s Wednesday. I haven’t wrote a blog post yet. Nothing really exciting has happened. I am moving my site and blog over to DigitalOcean. The blog will be powered by Ghost. I’m setting up stuff now. It was nice using you WordPress. Uuuuuuuuuu…

Self-Esteem

What causes us to doubt ourselves? Are we born with a sense that we cannot achieve or is it learned through experience? We learn to do “hard” things early on in life like walking or speaking a language. We make tons and tons of mistakes in order to get to

YHack Post Mortem

I went to Yale this weekend to participate in a hackathon called YHack. Yale is probably the farthest I would travel for a weekend hackathon. YHack is the second hackathon I attended this year with the first being HackMIT. The hacking atmosphere was great. We arrived a little late and

Inferno

He heard the door open. “Hey, wait”, he said as he turned around and walked towards the door. She stopped and looked at him. “I wanted to ask you something” he said as he walked up next to her. “I wanted to know if…”. She stopped him. “No”, she mumbled.

Fueling the Blaze

Lighting Matches

He opened a beer and leaned against the closest wall. He looked around. > I think I know some of these people…I probably forgot their names. Somebody moved next to him. “Hey, surprised you’re here”. “Yeah…I guess”, he said back. “Where’s your roommate?” “Girlfriend…” he said as

Gathering Kindling

“Hey man where are you going” his roommate said as he leaned on his girlfriend. “I’m going to the party” he said as he put his jacket on. “Are you sure you don’t want to come?” He looked at both of them. “Yeah, we’re going to stay

Playing With Fire

She opens the door and walks out onto the roof. It is lightly misting. She looks out and sees someone leaning against the railing. She walks up beside him. “Hi” he mumbled. She notices he is eating a poptart. “Hey…what are you doing up here?” she asked. “…eating a

HackMIT: The Ends

About 12 hours ago HackMIT wrapped up its closing ceremonies. During the course of the hackathon me and two of my friends (same team from HackBeanpot) created an Android app that helped you find your friends when you want to meet up with them. This post however is not about

HackMIT 2014: The Beginnings

So I am currently at HackMIT. Getting a good idea was hard. We just couldn’t come up with anything good that we could complete in 48 hours, I mean 24, I mean 15? The deadline to submit our project is sometime tomorrow morning and we kind of just started

Ummm...

Yeah so it’s Thursday morning and I still haven’t done a blog post for last weekend. Why? IDK. Busy. School. Procrastinaaaation. Windows 10. Lots of stuff. Windows 10 is Windows 7 + Windows 8 features. I like it. I turned off the Windows 7 stuff like the Start menu.

This Is A Blog Post

[http://i.imgur.com/XZr15Ni.png] So this is the blog post for last week. I was conflicted on what I was going to write and didn’t decide on anything so this is the result. Yesterday I decided I was going to write a blog post relating to gender

I'll Scratch Your Back

(The pictures below have nothing to do with the post. I just go on solo walks or longboard trips in the middle of the night sometimes and then take pictures. This was a 2 hour trip was to Harvard Square (and back) that I went on like 30 minutes before

Relationships

A couple of weeks ago I downloaded Tinder (unofficial client for Windows Phone because Windows Phone has no apps still). As with most things having to do with relationships I didn’t know why I decided to download it. From what I heard about Tinder people find it a joke.

Welcome Back

I read this comment on reddit a day ago. Here is an excerpt: > Here’s my advice to younger folks: don’t spend your life chasingmoneystuff. Figure out how to make a decent living in something you like. Doesn’t have to be a mind blowing career, just something you

Race

I have been thinking about this post for the last week. I know I wanted to write about race and how it relates to me but I didn’t know what I should say. I wanted to distance myself from the ongoing issues people have with race (for example, what

When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Astronaut

(Featured Image photo credit to NASA [http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012-alignment.html]. You guys keep on being awesome.) Whenever I receive a checkup with my doctor he always asks what I want do when I grow up. The answer was always computer related. Now I answer I

It's OK To Not Like Things

(This blog post also exists in an audio version. [https://blog.golf1052.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Its-OK-To-Not-Like-Things-Audio.mp3] I recommend reading the article along with the audio. This audio was recorded with my shitty Surface mic. The chance of me making another audio version of a blog post is

Google.TV

This post is brought to you by Comcast: Because fuck you, that’s why :) [http://www.theverge.com/2014/8/4/5960251/comcast-confessions-why-the-cable-guy-is-always-late] So Twitch.tv changed some of their policies today.
