#59 - Blog Update about a Blog Update

Motto: The times, they are (not) a changin'

It's already a half hour past when I told myself I'd be going to sleep. I am not tired. That could be because I've been running ragged all day and I'm having a hard time turning my brain of hyperdrive, or it could be because I didn't eat proper dinner until 10pm. It's probably both.

 I worked out this morning. Looked at myself in the mirror after I got done. I almost saw a muscle, I swear.

 I have taken the past half hour to go through my last 20ish posts and give them proper labels. Labels function like tags. If I think a column is particularly picture-heavy, I can put the "PICTURES" label on it. At that point, it will show up alongside all the other picture-heavy columns. This will be potentially useful for later on. The labels I have designated for use (these could change, but probably won't much) are as follows:

  • THOUGHTS - for things that I just thought, that aren't really grounded in any sort of reality
  • STORYTIME - for stories
  • OUTLINE - for outlines, bulleted lists, or otherwise intentionally structured posts (like this!)
  • RESEARCH - if I'm researching something, this may not get used much
  • PICTURES - if there is 3 or more pictures associated with the post
  • DRAWINGS - if one of those pictures happens to be a drawing (I don't believe this has happened until this post)
  • VIDEO - if the post contains a video (note: some of my old posts link to a version of my second-a-day video that no longer exists... so... yeah)
  • AUDIO - if I post spoken word, music, or whatever other audio clip I might post - this is one of the many areas of media production and creativity I am looking into
  • POETRY - another area of media production and creativity I'm looking into
  • JOKES - for thoughts that are simply jokes, from my own brain
  • NERDCRED - nerdy post contect
  • GOOGLE - Google-related content
  • NONGOOGLETECH - for all other tech that isn't directly about Google
  • META - columns that reference the column
  • Possibly more to come if I start writing consistently about some other topic
    • for example - "REVIEWS" or "MOVIES" or "MONKEYSDRESSEDASHUMANS"


 The substance of the conversation happening in the hallway outside my door right now does not warrant how loud the conversation is. Some girl somewhere is mad at some other girl, apparently. 

 In the name of brevity, I'm afraid we must part ways. If I don't go to bed I'm going to regret it - maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday.
We are all victorious, in one way or another
I have a small stockpile of drawings I did when I was in High School. This is one.

Top 5: The parts of the column that are the hardest to do, (5 = easiest, 1 = hardest)
5. The Body
4. The Quote
3. The Picture
2. The Motto
1. The Top 5

#258 - Feature: Notetaking Platform Anxiety

Image
Motto: Writing for Me, by Me Melissa is going back to grad school, she's taking her Mac Air & iPad with her & utilizing Microsoft OneNote. While she was setting up her notetaking environment, I started thinking about how I would architect my "idealized system for handling graduate school". Fair warning, this is a bit of an epic. A system for succeeding in higher education is defined in several broad categories: What would I physically bring with me to class? How would I take notes that are relevant immediately and in the future? How do I manage time & tasks? Answering these questions is the purpose of this Column. I'm going to do so both "in general" and given my specific (more interesting to me, but less interesting in general) case. 1. What would I physically bring with me to class? Obviously I would bring with me a bag. I'd probably just keep my current messenger bag for simplicity sake. Anything could work. In all...

#42 - Life, The Universe, and Everything

Image
Motto: Don't Panic. BSOD My current computer is crashing on a multiple-times-per-day basis now. It's a little over 4 years old and has been needing to be put to rest for a while. Given that I know technology and what-not, I've decided I am going to build my next computer myself. Seems obvious now, I don't know why I didn't think of it before. It's going to be built specifically to suit my needs. This essentially means I'm going to build a computer specifically for video editing. There will be more on this at a later date... I have a couple of Nexus devices I want to get before the computer time ever comes. Having a job and money is so much better than college was it's not even funny. Whoever said "college is the best time in your life" must have not went through an engineering program. Don't get me wrong, college as great... but would I rather be doing that than what I'm doing now? No fricken way. Most negative words seem to st...

#22 - It's my party and I'll cry to get attention.

Image
Motto: Two days ago, I was 23. Then I was 24. I aged one year in a day. Yesterday was my birthday. A few friends of mine helped another friend of mine move from Lawrence to Kansas City. The trip up there was hot and windy and stressful. We lost a pillow out of the back of the truck ( not entirely my fault), but otherwise had no casualties. The rest of this story will be told in bullet-point fashion: We relaxed in the air conditioner. We ate Minsky's pizza. We held the first meeting of my secret society that has been held in probably a year. Nobody knows that but me. We threw marshmallows into each other's mouths. We eventually built a slingshot and started using it instead of throwing them. We walked around a really nice apartment building. We were denied access to the pool or the movie theater room on account of them being previously engaged. We got lost (mildly lost) driving around looking for a convenience store.  We saw what is apparently "the bad part o...
