Life has been pretty boring lately to tell the truth, so I had a field trip up to Chicago and visited a couple of high school friends and then went to my best friend’s graduation from the University of Chicago. First I hung out with Rose and Lillian and went to a couple of good [...]
When I was looking at universities during high school, I was encouraged by pretty much everybody to “ask lots of questions! grab students on the campus and find out what they really think!” I always wished that I knew what kind of questions to ask (ignore the nervousness involved in harassing random college students for [...]

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 [...]

Now that the design process for my thesis project is finally over (basically only because we ran out of time before the exhibition at Imagine RIT and had to finish it before then), I wanted to show the process of development for the nodes of the game, since that was where a lot of my [...]

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 [...]
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. :( [...]
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. [...]

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 [...]

My two two-quarter-long projects are progressing slower than I’d like, but I think the quality isn’t bad. First up, the senior project comp is slowly narrowing in on something like the quality we’re supposed to have: Second, my Experimental project now has a set of posters to accompany the as-yet-nonexistent animations. The five posters show [...]

We’re now into week 3 of 11 here at RIT, with less than 60 days to go. All my classes are surprisingly good (I’m not really a theater person, and well, writing seminar? I think I got that info my first year of high school). Mostly they’re good because of teachers. I get a daily [...]
