Logo: Take 2

I was told that my first logo design lacked a certain “coolness”. This is take two: For those of you who don’t get it: char is the C keyword for a one byte of data. Think of it as a standard character in the English. Basically, it is one definition of the smallest snippet of [...]

Logo Idea: Take 1

I’m not much of a graphic artist, but I want to think of myself as a designer. Maybe just a User Interface designer, but a designer none the less. I want to create more personal works. Images, pictures, presentations, and website. I would like to “brand” these creations with a mark that represents me. I [...]

Cheerleading is a Small World

In college I studied social networks. This was a few years before Facebook really took off. I was convinced that the world was a small network from books like Six Degrees and Linked. There were events in my life that convinced me of this, but nothing like what happened on Wednesday night. I have become [...]

California’s Proposition 8

As most of you know, Obama will be our next president. I’m quite happy about this because I’m looking forward to change. I don’t like the way things are at the moment, so change will probably be for the better (hopefully). Despite the prospect for national change, I’m really rather sad to see that locally [...]

Woodside Senior Night

For some reason I try to keep myself objective when I coach. I don’t want to play favorites; I want to be fair; I want to have logical reasons for why I do everything I do. This is one way to coach, but the more I think about it, the more I dislike this method. [...]

Jamfest at the Cow Palace

Today my CheerGyms open team competed at a Jamfest nationals. This is the second year I’ve competed at Jamfest, funny that both of the times I’ve competed at a jamfest, my team won. Both times we competed on purple mats, though I hear they have other colors as well. It was a good competition, though [...]

Sigma Nu Advisory Board

I met a few great people today. A few weeks back I received an email from the Headquarters of Sigma Nu about joining the Alumni Board at a local college. For those of you who don’t know, in college I joined the Sigma Nu Fraternity and met many great friends. The problem was that I [...]
