Podcast #5 - Wedding Music (Pt. 1)

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

In my opinion, one of the most important elements in a wedding, is the music. While flowers and other details can help set the mood, I think music is one of the more revealing aspects of both parties. Planning my own wedding in July, I’ve been going through the old iTunes and slowly building my own wedding playlist. (more…)

Pingo the game

Monday, January 28th, 2008

At UC Berkeley, I took a course called “Introduction to digital media”. We went through a number of ideas on new media and it’s definition thereof. At one point, we received a project in which we were to design a game or website that interacted with visitors a bit more than basic information and feedback.

On Faith

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Starting the new year, my single resolution is to be a better Buddhist. I’ve been doing the meditation and really attempted to maintain mindfulness. Unfortunately, I’ve hit my first bump in the road. Like with Catholicism, I am expected to accept a number of ideas not on proof, but on faith. (more…)
