Life Update: September, 2008

Classes are back in session, professors are great, and things are looking pretty bright with academics. After taking the first part of a physics course last semester, I know now that the reason why I got a C was because they couldn't teach well (to me, at least). This time the professor's method of communication is superb and actually makes things interesting. It all depends on the instructor, after all.

If you noticed in the column below the categories, I added a button confirming my participation in the Hundred Pushup challenge. This is a 6 week workout plan designed to help you achieve the goal of doing 100 consecutive pushups. I've always wanted to do this so I jumped right to it and started the next day.

I am planning on writing a few analysis articles on some online services and dissect the ins and outs of the design and functionalities. I am definitely look forward to this, and I hope you are too. Stay tuned, I think we're in for a hell of a ride.
