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.

Why We Do What We Do: Addendum

The inspiration for this post was taken from this article [http://www.newrepublic.com/article/118747/ivy-league-schools-are-overrated-send-your-kids-elsewhere] that one of my Facebook friends posted. I graduated from Moses Brown School in June of 2012. Moses Brown is one of the best private high schools in Rhode Island. I took this

Post Mortem: Twixel Library

This was also posted on the readme of my Twixel library on GitHub Even though the library isn’t 100% finished yet I wanted to add this as what I learned when making this library. Today I realized that my library may be really wrong because I was looking at

Why Do We Do What We Do

I am currently sitting on a train headed to Boston because I am working at ResNet this week. I worked at ResNet last week. I will be working at ResNet for at least the next 5 weeks. I will be moving into my dorm and then will be doing school

Internet Service Providers and You: Part 2

So this is an addendum to my last blog post. You will still probably get a blog post for this weekend. I’m sure you have all heard this story [http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/15/5901057/comcast-call-cancel-service-ryan-block] . Comcast claims they have the fastest internet. I wanted to check

Internet Service Providers and You

So net neutrality is a big issue currently. Here are two [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtt2aSV8wdw] videos [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAxMyTwmu_M] on it. We want all internet traffic to be treated the same so we can torrent without any service disruptions or we can

The Blog Post for Last Week

Canadian Dreams

Because my last two blog posts were early here is a late one. I’m in Canada for the week. Here are some things that are relevant to the situation. * My passport is expired. I may have a hard time getting back into the country. * I have to use my

Your Device Sucks Dicks

(Spoiler alert: This post is basically just a rant.) So there is this new app that has come out called Yo [http://www.justyo.co/]. A simple little app where you can only send a yo to people you have added. Sounds fun right? Fun little app that you and

You Will Not Guess What Is Inside This Blog Post

I’m bad at clickbait titles. A lot of websites aren’t though. Two that I thought were better than me at using clickbait titles are The Verge and Polygon. If you don’t know what clickbait titles are you are lying. Here are a couple examples from a website

Mirror's Edge Hype

So I didn’t watch the Microsoft presentation because I was sleeping. Looks like I didn’t miss much anyway. Watched the EA presentation. Only cared about Mirror’s Edge [http://www.mirrorsedge.com/]. I am so ready for that game. Battlefield Hardline would be kind of cool if Battlefield

Things I Read On The Internet: Vigilante Justice Is OK

I was reading this thread from /r/videos on reddit about a man who shoots and kills another man who had kidnapped his son and allegedly sexually assaulted his son as well. The thread is here [http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/26vva4/father_kills_man_that_kidnaps_sexually_

Happy Birthday to You, You Live in a Zoo

You look like a monkey and you smell like one too. Today I turn 20, queue I’m so old [http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6969227/if-youre-only-20-something-stop-saying-youre-old] . I remember when I turned 10 years old and everybody was like “you’ve lived a decade, wow” and now another decade later

Please Don't Read This

This is a super shitty blog post because I’ve been way too tired to do what I actually wanted to do. Still recovering from my back surgery. Recovery to where I can do stuff again takes about 6 weeks but my back doesn’t fully heal for a year

That Time I Had My Back Cut Open

It actually happened this Tuesday! I had spinal fusion surgery to correct the spinal curve I had from scoliosis. I just got back from the hospital yesterday. The basics of the operation is that they make an incision down the length of the spine then attach screws and rods down

Why I Love League but Hate the League Community

Yeah, it’s a League of Legends post. I started playing League first semester freshmen year because Super Monday Night Combat [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q0wujrO18U] had maybe 50 people online ever. I don’t know why I got so into the game but now I see it

Welcome to Summer 2014

It’s the summer again. Time for 4 months of forgetting everything I learned during the school year. Unlike many other Northeastern students I don’t start coop until Spring semester. This means I have 4 months of doing whatever. My current plans include finishing Twixel, finishing my League of
