One of my college professors, Dr. Ardavan Davaran (or Ardy as most knew him), passed away this morning. Those of you who know me probably already know that college was not the easiest or happiest of times for me and that were it not for a few friends and a few excellent (and very patient) [...]
I’m about to get to work for the day (after making a rather unfortunate decision to have warmed up pizza for breakfast that I will probably regret for many hours) but I thought that, rather than waiting for the end of the day, I’d start my day off with a blog post.
Last night I crawled [...]

After sleeping in the living room for a couple of weeks Bryan finally went down to Roseburg to get his stuff and “move in” to the computer room. He’s back now and it took about thirty seconds for him to set up his XBox 360 and thirty more seconds for he and Will to create [...]
Last night I could not get to sleep. I felt sort of like I felt as a kid on the night before school started or on Christmas Eve or any other sort of night when you try to sleep but can’t because you have been waiting for the next morning for months.
