I’ve thrown up a blog to track progress on my Masters Project through the semester over at http://surfpad.krisjordan.com/. It will likely be more technical, but when I get to the point of having something cool to play with I’ll link to it from here. Essentially SurfPad is a pen-centric take on internet searching […]

The last one in my undergraduate career. Hopefully. Blast you, physics! Between 8 and 11 am tomorrow I will determine my graduation applicability. For some reason (see: fear, disinterest, dream of making it big and never graduating / having to take this course, etc.) I put off perhaps the most difficult […]

I cannot recollect the last time I successfully endeavored an all-nighter. Not in some time, for sure. I believe that is a testament to college maturity.
