I use to be near the forefront of video gaming technology. When I was a kid I usually had a better video game setup than my friends. My first system was the NES. One of my first games, if not the first, was Super Mario Bros. Since my father was a big football fan, he [...]
The end of an era
9.6.09 at 9:11 pm by Blake
After twenty-four years of life, eighteen years of education, and one summer of unemployment, the result is an underwhelming product: an MBA who loves a field for which he did not go to school, has been thrown into a world of economic hardship, and is confined to a state in which ten percent of people [...]

Fellow stair-haters, this is an update to my last post. It’s a screencast about how to use the Bamboo Fun tablet for handwriting recognition. I forgot to mention this in the video, but the Bamboo Fun tablet can be used on Windows or Mac.

A little creative problem solving combined with an obsessive love for the 23 flavors of Dr. Pepper can yield satisfying results. Literally.

This semester is my last. If I can get through my last seven hours, I will be graduating with an MBA in May. The choice is where I want to go after that. As it stands now, I see that I have two options. The first is to go back [...]
Brothers

This is a film that my brother and I made a few weeks back. It’s a documentary-styled film, with fictional versions (well, partially fictional versions) of ourselves. So I guess, in a way, you could say it is based on a true story.

Mississippi State’s Lee Hall auditorium filled to capacity Tuesday for the screening of “Darius Goes West,” an independent film about a teenager with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy who embarks on a west-bound road trip. Darius, who’s friends helped him make the trip, left his home of Athens, GA on an adventure across the country to get [...]
