    Hey, remember the (Yellow) Nineties?

    So Long HBA

    Well, that’s it.  On April 15th I took my final exam at The University of Toronto, which means I’m finally finished my bachelors. (Well, it’s been five years. But five years is a long time – at least for me). It was an exhausting half-decade, but I got a lot out of it, and I…

    August 24, 2018

    Hello, world. Is this thing on? It has been almost an entire year since I last wrote a single blog post. I’ve been keeping things very tight-lipped, close to the chest. My thinking was that I should not discuss any ongoing projects that I wasn’t sure the world was going to see. So I vanished…
