Graduation

broderic on May 10, 2008

I think I finished up my masters degree this week. I turned in the final assignment and am now just waiting for the sheepskin to be sent my way. Barring any unforseen errors by myself or by the school, it should happen. I will be a Master of Science in Software Engineering!

The graduation ceremenony is on the 17th and I am pondering on whether to walk or not. I feel obliged since I did pay for the gown, but I really don’t want to be there on that day. I would like to, so that I know that I have accomplished something, but I’m too shy about it. I would walk for my parents to show them that their progeny also value education and for my grandparents who lead my parents to getting schooled. I wouldn’t walk because I would rather be riding my bike on that morning.

All in all, I am again undecided. Like a freshman.

Aaron Hillegass has probably done the most to promote Cocoa, the Mac OS
X framework. I've taken his class at the Big Nerd Ranch which was an
awesome week. The third edition of "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" is
coming out soon. If you are interested in becoming a Mac developer or
an iPhone developer, this is the book for you. I'm thinking of upgrading to this, but it will be strange to have 4 of
the same books at home.http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=47

This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
too much fighting on the dance floorThe Specials, Ghost Town

The bitter end

Now they tell me!
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=iron+man+after+the+creditsI hate that, because I did stay past the first set of credits on the
roll. Everything that had some Iron Manly thing as a background. I
left during the credit roll before it got to the technical talent of the
gaffers, best boys, focus pullers, slate snappers, dolly men, and craft
service servers. I wondered why that group of guys were sticking around.Oh, well. We at least got YouTube.
