I recently decided to go after a different major, computer science.  This was the result of much soul searching and a decision to try to do things differently in my life.  I have started a new project to chronicle my struggle with my personal development and my desire to make a better life for myself.  I have dubbed the project Life Begins @ 26 and I hope I can keep this project going where so many others have failed.

I have also recorded another episode of Spectrum Analysis.  I’m really hoping to be able to continue that project for at least the coming semester and I think I will be able to do that.  Just as long as Fay hasn’t battered my Miami crew too badly.

Ah, the joys of comment spam.  In an effort to prevent me having to keep marking comments as spam, I’m trying out a simple captcha plugin for wordpress:  Did you Pass Math?

I do find it amusing how I have practically no human visitors to my site but spam bots manage to find me just fine, wanting to link to all sorts of “fantastic opportunities”.   So if you are a real human, why not try to post a comment?  You have to correctly answer a very basic math question, and then I have to approve your comment.   But hopefully I won’t get so much spam even in the moderation stage.  Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Discovered Amy Winehouse tonight. I like it.

So I thought I’d create my own tumblr site: 631

Watching something like this documentary makes you realize how good it is to not live in hell. Did you know that in North Korea that when someone breaks a law, his entire family including 3 following generations are punished by being sent to prison camps? And did you know that in these prison camps they are tortured day after day with absolutely no hope of ever getting out? And in some places they use these people as test subjects for chemical weapons experiments? Watching this makes me wonder how, just how can the human species have such wealth, prosperity, happiness on one hand, and a complete living hell on the other. How come I have never gone a single day in my life without eating and a North Korean child has nothing but pain and hunger and sadness to look forward to on the other hand? So much beauty and filth on the same canvas. This seems to be the human predicament.
