So I forgot to mention – there’s a very small window in the kitchen that I opened last night to let some air get through the apartment. Across the way, there’s a window that opens into another apartment – they are about 3 feet apart. Apparently, the tenant who lives there likes to lean out…

Not a particularly difficult day today. Woke up around 9am with the intention of being on the bus by 9:45. Showered, dressed, and made my way out the door a little ahead of schedule. The bus stop that I have to walk to is just about two blocks from the apartment, and there are a…

This morning I departed from the hotel I forgot to mention in my last blog post, after saying an all-too-short goodbye to my family and especially Greta. My dad drove me to the Appleton airport where I boarded a plane for Detroit. An hour of air time later, I was in Detroit. A rushed half…

When June 9th was over, I was a different man. Let’s start at the beginning: I woke up and packed my room for a bit, before meeting up with some friends on the first floor of Gaming House to get into our robes and figure out where were needed to go. Greta was awesome and…

I’m grouping these days for two reasons: One, I’m writing about them on the 10th, so my memory of the days might be a bit weak, and Two: the 9th is really the day to read about, so you might as well skip there now. I flew out to Hacker School before I graduated from…

Woke up around 11am this morning – very late, but the nice thing about Hacker School is that nobody gets upset if you don’t come in during the right hours. We have 24hr access to the space, so it’s totally fine to show up late and stay late. Or show up late and leave early.…

Probably a short post tonight because I got back to the room around midnight and just spent the last two and a half hours derping around on the internet. Woke up this morning and went in to Hacker School. Ended up arriving pretty much right on time. I think leaving around 9:30 would be optimal,…

Woke up this morning a bit tired – I had caffeine yesterday, which makes me insanely productive but also totally unable to go to bed at night, so I stayed up until about 2am watching StarCraft. As you can probably tell by the timestamp for this post, I had caffeine today as well. Sigh. Showered…

Hacker School is going to be an amazing experience. Woke up this morning around 8am, 30 minutes before my alarm was set to go off due to the excitement of the approaching beginning of Hacker School. Still hadn’t bought soap/shampoo or a toothbrush, but I showered with hotel soap and scrubbed my teeth with a…

Started out this morning by sleeping in. ZZZ. Around noon, I ventured forth from the darkness of my basement room, and hopped on the A line into Manhattan. My goal was to find the building for Hacker School – a test run of the transportation – and it went well. I’ll have to figure out…
