EPKPhoto's Tidbits

Now that RIT classes have been back in session for the past week, I'm back to balancing class work, Honors work, ITS work, and job searching for a summer co-op. The first week back was a bit hectic, but now that things are under control, the rest of this quarter should go well. It certainly doesn't hurt that the Rochester winter is still being quite wimpy. We got an inch of snow last week, but that melted by the afternoon. The clouds are still overcast as always, though. That's all for now…don't be afraid to leave comments to any of these posts!

This will be my last update from RIT until the fall! Exams are over, and I am quite happy with my grades. Now that I don't have to worry about school work, and all my stuff is pretty much packed, I can get a good night's rest for the drive home with Dad. It's sure to be a hefty task getting all my possessions home and unpacked, so in the meantime I have some websites of interest. First, regarding my Ethanol rant a few posts ago, check out this article from BusinessWeek that takes a well-rounded look at some of the issues I raised. The second article demonstrates one reason I am very happy being at RIT. It ranks universities based on visits from the campus network to MapWoW.com, a site that uses the Google Maps API to display the map of the extremely popular online game World of Warcraft. RIT landed third on the list, which does not surprise me at all given how wired this place is. 😀
