Sorry I didn’t have a post last week! I spent most of the day filming this video and was not able to get around to it. They named the dog “Hinto” because of his blue eyes. “Hinto” means blue and is of Native American origin (Dakota from what I can find online). He is halfContinue reading “Vlog #2: he got HER a PUPPY”

Rivals is finally coming to the Switch
Being a part of the Super Smash Bros. competitive scene for many years, I have always been aware of Rivals of Aether and its similarities to Smash.

It would be 25 minutes before the train would depart from the airport, initiating the final leg of the many hour journey between my parent’s house and my apartment. In this moment, I was ruminating on why I cherish the times that IContinue reading “Public Transportation”
Thoughts on Teamwork and Expectations
Announce a group project in any classroom from middle school all the way up to professional school and groans trickle through the stale classroom air, the palpable representation of a universal frustration with group work. Ask any high-achieving student why they hate group work and the answer is nearly always: freeloaders. Freeloader, the inevitable groupContinue reading “Thoughts on Teamwork and Expectations”
3%: The Dystopian Future of Merit-based Equality
It had been a while since I had seen any tv, so this week I loaded up Netflix and watched the first season of 3%, a Brazilian thriller. Set in a dystopian future, the plot centers around the Process. A series of tests in which 20 year old residents of the impoverished Inland compete, inContinue reading “3%: The Dystopian Future of Merit-based Equality”
