Ubuntu 11.10 is out now!
The new version of my favorite operating system has been released, and it’s better than ever. Get it while it’s hot.

Gameboy Advance Game: Andromeda
My life for the past two weeks. This is my final project for my Media Device Architecture class at Georgia Tech. In this class we learned low level programming in C, how memory works, and what it’s like to program for limited hardware.
I’m glad to finally be done with it; I learned a lot in the process, and while there are a lot of things I could go back and fix or tweak, I’m pretty proud of this. Hire me, Nintendo?

Look what I got in the mail today…
I won this a couple of weeks ago when I took part in Amped. I need programs like Photoshop and Illustrator for a lot of my courses here (I’m majoring in computational media at Georgia Tech), but didn’t feel like shelling out a few hundred bucks to buy them. (And I don’t steal pirate software.) I’ve been making do with GIMP and Inkscape at home–and yes, they’ve been a great help, and I don’t let their limitations limit my creativity, thank you very much–and going to the computer labs when I absolutely Adobe’s programs (which isn’t as often as you might think), but now I can use the apps at my own convenience. Can’t wait to try them out!

Open Source Movie “Sintel” Released
Hooray! The Blender Foundation released their third movie made with the open source 3D modeling software Blender. Sintel, in my opinion, is the best of their movies yet, with a better plot than Elephant’s Dream and a more serious, kick-butt feel than Big Buck Bunny. And it’s about dragons! : D
