Summer Juggling

Juggling is my resident hobby that I keep returning to year after year. In the summer of 2010 I decided I would finally learn 7 balls. Thus I found myself juggling a considerable amount: almost every day. This time I had a partner in crime: David. We juggled together almost every day outside the Microsoft Research building. On weekends we went out and filmed ourselves around Seattle. David even made a lovely film of our summer juggling adventure. I have to say it was a great summer for juggling!

Snowpocalypse

During my first year in grad school, Pittsburgh was buried under record-breaking snowfalls. Taking advantage of the sudden snow days, I decided to explore Pittsburgh on skis, and had a lot of fun! Here are a few memories from that wonderful time.

Skiing 08-09

Through a combination of finishing most classes, being a training director at Husky Winter Sports , two seasons passes, and a burning desire to ski, I was lucky enough to get to ski 51 days this season. This page includes my journal detailing each of those 51 days, as well as some videos and photos from that year.

Light up Juggling Clubs

Carnegie Mellon's Masters of Flying Objects juggling club holds at least one night-juggling session each semester where jugglers make beautiful patterns with light up balls. My friend David and I wanted to have light up clubs this semester, so we decided to make our own light-up clubs. Photos and video included.

Seattle to Pittsburgh Roadtrip

In the summer of 2009 my mom and I drove across the U.S. as I moved from Seattle to Pittsburgh to study at Carnegie Mellon. This map shows our route, the pictures we took, and the adventures we encountered along the way. NOTE: There are two pages of annotations. To see the rest of the trip, scroll down the sidebar and go to the next page.

Rafting the Allegheny

In the summer of 2008 my friends Bryan, Chris, and I built a raft and floated it for 3 days (30 miles) down the Allegheny river. Chris wrote a fantastic writeup of the trip. Also, a video of our adventure.
