Pittsford Apartment

So, as of last night I’m moved into my currently-permanent residence in Pittsford, NY. It’s a condo in a little subdivision just down the road from the Pittsford Wegmans (and soon a Trader Joe’s, plus lots of other stores) on one side and the Erie Canal on the other. The condo neighborhood is apparently mostly [...]

Starting at StormFrog

You may recall that right before Christmas I got a job offer to go work at StormFrog, where I did some freelance work in 2010. I promptly (if regretfully) put in my notice at Accuraty, packed my bags and got myself a plane ticket, since they needed another designer as soon as possible. StormFrog set [...]

Graduation!

I graduated over the weekend! It seemed to take forever to get here. My parents came up Thursday night to see my Experimental New Media project – I’ll upload it as soon as I figure out how to compress it small enough – and then the whole class + parents went out for Thai food [...]

End of Classes

I finished all my classes! Yesterday I had my German final exam and then my senior project presentation. There’s still some final wrap-ups to projects for tonight and next week, but I am so done with college! yeah! I’m also finally not feeling sick from the cold that knocked me out for most of a [...]

Jonathan Coulton

So here at RIT, Jonathan Coulton is like the theme song for RIT. Well, I guess “Code Monkey” is, more specifically, but his songs in general are adored by all here. And this video done by Stephen Torrence in ASL and costume just proves it. Unfortunately this guy is evidently a student in Texas. :( [...]

ImagineRIT

Now that ImagineRIT is over, I have time again to update my blog about these sorts of things. I spent most of Friday rendering nice designs for the kiosk (we had to cut down the graphics for the live version, and the projectors mutilated the video quality) and working on info posters for the room. [...]

Really Long FITC Report

I spent the first half of the week in Toronto at the Flash in the Can design & technology convention. We got up and left Rochester at 6am on Sunday and had a quiet drive across the border into Canada. All day Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday at computer graphics/programming lectures, and parties in the evening. [...]

Google Analytics

In my latest attempt to be an internet creeper, I installed Google Analytics on the blog about a month ago. It’s fascinating to see where my readers are coming from. Have I mentioned that this tool totally makes me feel like a government all by myself? Visits from Mac and Windows, and from New York [...]

RIT is doing something right:

Odopod (one of the “cool companies” featured at the RIT Industry day) posted this article singing praises for the New Media program. Yay for Adam kicking our butts until we can do proper design! I do find it interesting however, that none of the other programs (seeing as it was open to the whole school [...]

Element 117

They’re creeping closer to developing element 119 – Nature says element 117 has been discovered! o.O That came sooner than I expected… but it sounds like I should have known better: “…analysis of the new element suggests theories about these super-heavy elements becoming more stable as they get heavier may be correct.” Hopefully it will [...]
