Games have been played a big role in my life recently. I’ve been playing this puzzle on my iPhone recently called “Unblock Me”, a terribly addicting game that attempts to “free” a brick while only moving the blocks around it. Doesn’t sound terribly difficult, only that the other blocks move ONLY lengthwise. Anyway, this kinda reminded me of it. This lecture also analyzes the trend in simply computer game making. Interesting stuff. Check it out for yourself if you can take you eyes off of your own self-disposed distraction. Enjoy!

But some AWESOME choreography!!! The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers is an online adventure launching in 2010. Sounds pretty epic. You should check them out. If you watch So You Think You Can Dance, I don’t think I need to explain further. Enjoy!

Tonight’s run was really cold. I had to bundle up a bit more than usual. Started out at about 4pm. The sky when I started out today was filled with dark clouds like it was about to rain, with little patches of sunlight bursting through. The sunlight was perfect for any photoshoot; not too direct but gazing as if suspended, but then again, not good for running at all. It was too cold! I noticed that my form had changed a bit this week, a bit more of a stride rather than a jump. I’ve been keeping tabs on my breathing and stretching more after the run. I lost a bit of weight–3 pounds. Learned a lot about fluids and loaded up on a lot of carbs during the week to facilitate the long run. I did stop a bit more than usual on this long run; either I was too afraid that I might overdo it or too heavy from all the carb intake. I felt rather alone on this one. It was the first time I actually hated what I was doing at the moment. My mind was somewhere else. It must be finals!

The home stretch is at the quarter mile. Just finished up Scott’s class. Been working all week on Agency, and finally coming to the wire. One more class for AdCon3 with Scott Wilson. There’s so much on my mind that I can’t think.

Term 5 has to be the toughest term, but don’t take my word for it.

Keep it movin on FINALS yall.

May the BEST CAR WIN!

Awesome films from my buddy Saman Keshavarz. Enjoy!

Pasadena Marathon just posted up the course routes for the Feb. 2010 event! Exciting! Here’s the link to see up close. Don’t know how long it will last for the 2010 course; after all, you might be reading this in 3124. In that case, beam me up!

Can’t wait.

Never judge a TED by it’s title. This presentation came out of no where. And what I thought would be another mono-toned lecture on Global Economics, ended up being one of the best lectures I’ve heard in a while. You gotta make time for this one…

On REPEAT:
