My life has been marked by lack of ambition. There is simply nothing I want thoroughly and continuously enough to diligently work for it day after week after month after year. I want things that make me happy, but that isn’t the same as needing them. The distinction between want and need was one instilled […]

Only jetlag and final papers can cause me to be conscious for a sunrise, and final papers don’t allow me the liberty to walk over to the BU bridge, hop the construction fence and take pictures of the beauty.

Sure, I let the end of my junior year go by without a single word to reminisce. And my summer web development job. And my trip back to NYC. But all of that was the prelude to the main event, my trip to Japan. I leave tomorrow (today, Friday, really) and will be gone for […]

As broad as the scope of these rules may be, they are unable to do something that they have not been programmed to do. Human responsibility is derived from our ability to act outside of our scope: to recognize what we are […]

For my databases class we need to design a photo-sharing website, along the lines of Flickr. Users can register and upload photos, assign tags to them, search photos by name or tags, and have photos recommended to them based on the tags.
