First, yes, that is a horrible name for a product. I’m working on it, but it’s not what’s important. What is important is that it is finally optimized for what it was designed for: any device you might be holding at a bus stop.* *Almost any device. Project Getting There […]

Three years ago today, I had the crazy idea to start this blog. It feels like longer, given that this is now my fourth year at Drexel. It’s not my final year at Drexel though, as I’m on our five year program, but it is beginning to feel like things […]
Today I’d like to make an important announcement concerning my future studies at Drexel. After four years and three co-ops in IT, I’ve decided its time for a change. Technology has always been one of my passions and it will continue to be so even though I’m changing my major. […]
Like all good stories, it’s time for the story of my time in Melbourne to end. This week is my last full week here and while I wish I could slow down time, I’m sure this week will be over before I know it. I think I’ll save my closing […]
From all of us at ai, we hope you have a fantastic New Years and wish for your 2014 to be a year of dreams come true.
I don’t usually write Christmas cards, and, well, this isn’t exactly a card, is it? Nonetheless, I figure it’s about time I got used to doing it, you know, being 21 and all that jazz now. So here goes. As I’ve previously mentioned, I’m in Sydney at the moment. Dad […]
Note: This is another post from the backlog, written October. Please adjust date and time references accordingly 😉 A couple of weeks ago, I had one of my typical Sunday visits to the State Library turn into a visit that left me with a mission to complete. I was catching up […]
Here in the US, turning 21 pretty much just means one thing: legal drinking age. Here in New Jersey, it also means changing my driver’s license from a portrait rotation to a landscape one. That said, in all honesty, I don’t care that I’m 21 now. While I’ve said many […]
To all Zelda Reorchestrated fans, both long-time and recent, and to all of those who have lurked as well: First of all, the views that will be written here are my own. This post is in no way on behalf of the team, nor does it reflect their views (probably). […]
Two years ago today at 14:46 (2:46PM) JST, a magnitude 9 earthquake shook the Tohoku region of Japan, followed by several aftershocks and tsunami waves up to 40.5 meters (133 ft). While several media outlets did over exaggerate the disaster, the earthquake left 15,881 dead, 6,142 injured, and 2,668 missing. Even today, Fukushima remains a […]
From all of us here at ai, we hope you and your family have a safe, joyous, and merry Christmas. Earlier this year, we celebrated our first birthday and for us, we consider that the best gift we could receive this year – even if it was early by quite […]
At ai, we believe in being open and honest when it comes to your privacy. That’s why effective immediately, we are rolling out a completely rewritten privacy policy. Our new policy outlines specifically what information we collect, what third-parties we use and partner with, and what, if any, information they report back […]
As a full disclosure, yes, I do work at Zelda Reorchestrated (ZREO for short) as support staff. That’s part of the reason I’m posting this up. If you’re going to going to MAGFest in DC in now just two weeks, you might want to check out the finally released schedule […]
Note: The following is cross-posted from Gemakei. This also appeared there first since my position at Gemakei is the reason I get to go to NYCC in the first place. This was also intended to go up much, much earlier than it is. Thanks to a hard drive failure, this is only […]
As some of you already know, on Monday evening, Hurricane Sandy made landfall where I live. As a result, many of you have been asking if we are OK. I figured it would be best to do a broadcasted status update on here to answer that. The House: The house […]
I’ll admit that when it comes to newsletters in my inbox, I usually glance over them. However, one managed to catch my eye today, the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia’s newsletter (JASGP for short). It was pretty hard missing the banner at the top: “Become a JASGP member, win […]
A special note about this post: The following review is cross-posted from Gemakei. While a review copy was provided, the thoughts that follow are entirely my own. Before I begin, I feel it is important to note that this review of Cyklus is based off playing it on an iPad 2. Cyklus […]
It’s no secret I’m a fan of Japan. I haven’t been there yet, but let’s face it, there are some pretty awesome things that come out of Japan. One thing I’ve found myself doing a lot is sharing things on Twitter or Facebook about Japan with the phrase “Stay [Word], […]
A special note about this post: The following review is cross-posted from Gemakei, where I am the Community Administrator. As a full disclaimer, a voucher for a free copy of the game to review it was provided by the developers, but this review was not commissioned. The thoughts that follow […]
When ever I show my website to others, the first question I get is always “What’s the name supposed to mean?” Tonight, I’d like to finally set the records straight. I’ll begin with the story behind ai|inc, the parent company of The France Hopper Network. Back in the early 2000s, […]
