What did Descartes say again? “I am therefore I think?”, no that’s not right. That’s how I like to think though. I am here so I think! It’s probably my favorite pass time. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time than thinking about hard problems. Right now for me its the... Read more »

I arrived at home one fateful night to find my living room in a complete mess: I was horrified!

1. Commentary on Setting Up your Domain and Social media Setting up my blog did not go well. I opted to use my current domain instead of using the Domain of One’s Own, mainly because I thought to myself, I’m a Computer Science Major I can handle this. I had run a WordPress blog on... Read more »

Today’s daily create asked me to create a poem, given only the following prompt: Silence is… a poem I thought this daily create was really intriguing.

What is the main difference between these photos? This is my interpretation of this assignment.

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/color-changer/ When creating this image my initial goal was to try and make the Eagle Bridge look more like a castle.
