I’ve been participating in International Timing League Online for the past few years. It’s a remote StepMania tournament that runs from March until June with a focus on personal improvement: while there are winners, there are over a thousand other participants who are trying to reach their own personal goals or maybe outdo their rivals.… Continue reading ITL Online 2024: 450k

How I Got Into the Web Development Industry
I’ve been getting a lot of questions from students recently about how I landed my sweet gig at Lab Zero, or, more generally, how I got into the industry in the first place. It’s really nothing out of the ordinary, but I thought I’d write it up here so I can cut down on repetition. (DRY… Continue reading How I Got Into the Web Development Industry
Fired
I have a job now and the mandated 30-day silence period has ended, so here’s this post! I was fired from Linden Lab last week. Basically, some goons were banned, other goons asked me why they were banned, I asked coworkers and attempted to discover in our internal issue tracking system why they were banned,… Continue reading Fired
And then he got hit by a car
It's been half a year since I updated my journal, so I thought I'd give a recap to those who've either been in the dark, or following me on Twitter and have as bad an attention span as I do when it comes to keeping track of what is actually happening with people's lives. In… Continue reading And then he got hit by a car

I need work
Man, so I thought I had a job offer but it turns out that if I do, it’s not starting until late May. I can’t wait another month for a job. I subscribe to the appropriate feeds on craigslist, but it’s pretty difficult because I have a schedule limitation. I’m still going to Israel. I… Continue reading I need work
Bears in the Area
Hello again from me; I am back in America after my two school quarters in Seattle. The road trip ended pleasantly with a viewing of Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. Ashland is a wonderful town and I totally want to return to it some time. It’s certainly got that… Continue reading Bears in the Area
Protected: Decision
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Should I do it.
Next quarter is academically weird. I’m only taking one three-credit class, and auditing another one. Overall, it’s 4 hours of instruction per week, and probably the same amount of outside-of-class work. That will leave me a LOT of time to do… something else, I guess. Hopefully get a job. But I’m having some second thoughts… Continue reading Should I do it.
