I recently acquired Gears of War 2 as an early Christmas present and had the opportunity to play it in cooperative mode with my roommate. It didn’t quite live up to my expectations and it failed to fix some of the game play mechanics that I hated from the first Gears of [...]
I didn’t think it would be so hard to just get my taskbar and icons on a second monitor using Windows on my Macbook Pro. It doesn’t seem like a whole lot of people run Windows on the Mac, so there isn’t a whole lot of resources if you get stuck. It takes [...]
Wow. I just got back from the PAX 10 competition sponsored by Penny Arcade (penny-arcade.com). It’s a competition for the top 10 games developed by independent game developers.
I worked on Impulse with a group of students from RIT and my brother. It’s a physics based game around movement. You use magnetism and [...]
It’s week 10 at RIT; only one more week of class and then finals! I’m excited because once I finish up here I’ll be heading home and then out to California to work for Apple!

Cell phones continue to disappoint me. I’ve had my Verizon Wireless cell phone for the past two years. It’s been alright and I was excited to upgrade to something smaller, slimmer, and faster, yet I found myself wanting more. Why do I get so little out of the phone and the phone service?
A few [...]
Each week’s gone by so fast. I’ve done a lot this quarter, but I’d wish it’d slow down. Hopefully I’ll have more time to write some blogs once this quarter ends. Right now I simply don’t have time. I’m playing catchup with classes, work, extracurriculars, and job applications for a summer coop.
Currently I’m looking [...]
Orientation was a blast. I had the best and loudest group V-19! It was great to meet everyone and I look forward to hanging out into the future.
RIT’s keeping it real with classes starting on Labor day. I honestly forget holidays when I’m at school because we just don’t celebrate them with days off. [...]
