The New Me

Fri May 1, 2009, 1:30 PM
It's been a while since I've updated, and a lot of things have changed since the last time I've posted anything here.

For one, I'm going to be moving. Again. This time to either Seattle or Redmond, WA. The move is going to take place in late July.

The reason: Me and a friend of mine are gonna be moving into an apartment there. He got accepted to a college (DigiPen) and I'm gonna have him teach me what he learns there. And we can split the rent.

I've also recently become an Objectivist. Well, almost an objectivist. There's a few views of Objectivism I can't quite take on yet.

What's Objectivism? It's the philosophy of one of the greatest authors of all time, Ayn Rand. After reading her biggest book, Atlas Shrugged, I have a whole new outlook on myself and on life in general. Want a taste? Read Anthem by her first. It's a short story, rather than the thousand-page Atlas Shrugged. (Which you should still read anyway. xP)

I've also lost some weight, put on some muscle, and cut my hair! Check out my 'The New Me' photos in my scraps. I had my mom take them with her digital camera when I visited yesterday.

Overall, I'd say my life is looking up. Every day, I come closer to my next goal, that being moving out. I have other goals to work towards once I achieve that one. Including, but not limited to: Using my computer skillz to make tons of money.

Once I have enough money to never have to worry about bills again, I'll be free to move about the country as I see fit.

I used to study the off the DigiPen curriculum in high school when I first learned how to program in the C programing language. I even built a few games using their FunEditor software. Have fun up there!

Whoops sorry, that got sent twice. :XD:
:iconamaroq-wolf:
You can study DigiPen's curriculum without having to go there!? Like MIT's Open Course Materials?

*looks*

Actually, yes. It's called ProjectFUN. It depends on which schools actually carry the program though.
:iconamaroq-wolf:
Aw, you have to be in a high school to do it? xD I was thinking I could download their course materials online.

That's interesting. I'm kind of wondering what their FunEditor is now. XD Is it just an IDE? I think I'll stick with vim thanks.

I think we'll have lots of fun. *evil grin*

Black is the fastest color.

Life's too intermusing to waste it on hate.
:iconns-games:
No, it's open to anyone. I'm just saying it depends on which educational centers (i.e. colleges) offer it. And it does look like they do now offer that online.
:iconns-games:
Yeah, it's an IDE, but it's designed to teach high level programming concepts.
