It’s offi­cial! I’m also a declared Mass Com­mu­ni­ca­tions major! The process was about 100x eas­ier than I thought it would be.

I like the idea of being in two majors, sim­ply because it’s totally exer­cis­ing the left and right hemi­spheres of the brain. It’s get­ting the full spec­trum of my over­priced uni­ver­sity edu­ca­tion. But it is excit­ing to think that I’m going to be tak­ing awe­some psych, com­mu­ni­ca­tions, eng­lish and what­ever classes ALONG with some freakin sweet EECS classes (the lat­ter is an utter lie).

I don’t like the idea of this because it’s rea­son to get all pride­ful and proud of myself in some sort of aca­d­e­mic prowess or whatnot.

Hm.

AAHH! Ruby on Rails gets me so excited I could pee in my pants. Thus sum­mer I want to give it a try. Oh, geekdom.

In fur­ther “geek news that will never come to pass”, I would like to port this blog to a stronger and bet­ter sup­ported back­end, namely Word­Press or Textpat­tern, or if I’m excited enough, to a Rails-driven app I’d like to try build­ing myself (nah..). If all the big boys are doing it, do as they do…

Why do you cry?

May I ask you why?

Don’t you know that He cares?
He will never leave you, no,
And never leave you there.

This song has the hook I was try­ing to come up with over win­ter break. Take a lis­ten. Sim­ple yet… pow­er­fully done.

    i cliked “ruby on rails” think­ing it was some social jus­tice move­ment or a movie or some­thing excit­ing like that.…
    read the first line and moved away from the page.

    andrew you’re a geek.

    hi andrew,
    yeah, i clicked on the ROR link and could not under­stand a sin­gle word… just a bunch of inco­her­ent phrases for me. go fig­ure. –_– but yay for comm!! boo for the fact that my future deal­ing with comm is deter­mined in the next week or so. or maybe it’s a yay, but that can’t be deter­mined now. wish me luck? haha. well any­way, take care!

    Well, I must admit, you don’t exactly know me, but all this talk about Ruby on Rails / Word­Press / Textpat­tern got me to com­ment (although, I do know of your work, from see­ing the Take Up the Cross t-shirts at Home­stead, haha).
    But I’m digressing…Ruby on Rails is def­i­nitely bring­ing out the geek side of me. haha. It MAKES me want to learn AJAX finally, but I’m sure it would still over­whelm me…
    And finally, to address Textpat­tern and Word­Press. I had both sys­tems installed on my site for a while as I was decid­ing where to go from MT. I ended up not really like TP’s inter­face (although WP can at times be a lit­tle clunky…but noth­ing as bad as MT). And mainly, WP seemed to give me more con­trol.
    gluck on pick­ing between the two! =]
