As I gear towards graduation at Seneca College, I am actively engaged in an a professional Apple Development course. Why am I enrolled? Merely an interest for learning different languages; discovering their quirks, oddities and normalities. As well, I am using this astute scenario to experience the procedures and protocol in developing software on a mobile device. Nonetheless, the course should be fun and a unique learning opportunity.

As part of my first lab, we were to get a feel for the different interface builder UI objects within a single view in order to create a manipulating student profile. See below.

• Be mindful
• Read a book once a month
• Budget
• Drink more exotic/unique Teas
• Write more ‘paper’ letters
• Go on a date with Natalie Portman

Happy New Years!

I admit it… I have never truly before. I attempted to create a blog with a focus on software development back in 2005. So this is my first ever blog entry anywhere. My theme for today’s blog is therefore, “my first blog”.

Onwards to my first rant

I have never really liked writing diaries or journals. I’ve had English teachers tell me that I had to document time spent on an essay in a log before because it is not possible to write a good essay in one night. Personally I do not agree. Just because it is not committed to paper does not mean I have not started thinking about what I want to say. I just always thought it kind of silly to log things like “spent 30 min on a bus thinking about symbolism in Macbeth” or “spent 15 min before falling asleep thinking about Hamlet”. As for diaries, I just never got into the habit of writing one. I prefer to simply recall each day from memory.

So why blog now? I have been told that blogging is fun. I am not totally sure I see this yet but I’m willing to offer it a chance ;).

So I do have some questions about blogs that I have always wondered about. With all the blogs out there today, how do people find time to read them? It seems like everyone has a blog somewhere and would this not just cause some major information overload at some point? Hopefully I will figure this out in the near future. In any case this should be an interesting experience.
