Work is going good, a lot of work to get done, but we are accomplishing a lot of really cool things over here. I have taken on a task of reviewing programming books, I have two books in my hands right now, I have finished one and am working on the other. Stay tuned for reviews on my site of them. Summer is nice, I actually missed the warm weather, but not getting sunburned. Florida Day was this past weekend, and it was really nice to see a lot of old friends and make some new ones. I sat out by the pool most of Saturday, and then on Sunday I went to the beach. It is not a good idea to get burned at the pool and then decide to goto the beach the next day. But it was worth it. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy that I went. With being so busy lately I haven’t had time to hang with some of my friends, but I promise that I am working harder to correct that.

On a slightly geekier note. I have been addicted to one computer game since I was really young. I love the Sid Meier’s Civilization series. I have Civilization 4 for Mac and play it regularly when I have some free time. I also enjoy playing Age of Empires 3 (thanks to my roommate). But the exciting news is that Civilization Revolutions is being released as a console game for XBox 360. So I am very excited to pickup a copy on June 8th. Yay!

Well I hope everyone is well. I hope to write something a little more geeky in the coming days!

  • Met the Boston Brass again.
  • Celebrated Cristina ‘Nasty’ Venturini’s birthday (3 times)
  • Saw Ian (not for very long)
  • Met new people etc.

It was a fun convention from what I was able to go to. But I am disappointed in not being able to spend more time with some of the brothers that I don’t get to see ever. Oh well. I will post pictures soon.

Heading home for the weekend to spend time with friends, family and install the ΚΚΨ Colony at FAU. Should be a good time. I look forward to putting them though and getting time to hang out with them. Also seeing my family is a nice plus, will get some time to hang with my mom, and tomorrow morning I will see my dad and Barbara. Good times. Will post more as soon as I can!

This promises to be a fun time for me. We are camping out by Daytona at a park I have never been to. I am excited. Instead of the chapter footing all of the food costs and making us pay the camping costs, it is the other way around. We are cooking on our own. So a few of us have devised an amazing menu! I am very happy!! This is going to be so much fun. Look for pictures when I return!!
