Joining the Starship Eco
Classes didn’t start until Wednesday, but as I learned during orientation we are not just students — we’re also employees working under our advisers. My boss/adviser, Henry Holtzman, heads the “Information Ecology” group, which focuses on making information more naturally accessible in the physical world. I highly suggest you check out the group website and […]
The First 24 Hours of Boston
Lyla and I got home from the honeymoon on August 31st at 11:00 PM. The next day was going to be intense: the plan was to finish packing the entire apartment into boxes, move those boxes into a Uhaul by 3:00, take the 6-hour drive to Boston, and unpack the truck into our new place […]

My last day was Friday
I had been working for a small web to print company called ColorQuick since June of 2009 to keep me from becoming a homeless person while I waited for Lyla to finish her five-year-long art degree. Apparently it isn’t possible to graduate on time if you are a student at Tyler. The experience was worthwhile, […]
