Gluten Free Snickers Cupcakes
Here’s the thing: I secretly-not-so-secretly love to bake and decorate cakes. Here’s the other thing: ever since I moved to Somerville I haven’t been doing too much of either of those things, especially not cake decorating. It takes a lot of money to really set yourself up with the proper equipment (cake pans, decorating tools, fancy stand mixers, etc) and I had already spent a...

I Wrote My First Program in C!
So we’ve moved from Scratch to C in CS50, and I have to write two programs in C for Thursday. I just finished the first one and I honestly don’t care that it’s this stupid little thing that prints out a half-pyramid made out of hashes, the height of which is dictated by the user’s input. I seriously don’t care that that’s all it does. This thing killed me. I was...

Thoughts at 4:40am
Ever say a word so much that it loses all meaning? That it turns to mush in your mouth, and your tongue struggles to get the taste of it out?

“Dinner will be served at 8:00pm, second dinner will be served at 1:00am, and...”
– My class started today (and it’s my birthday—yay!), but I had no idea that I was allowed to attend the lectures (I’m taking it as an Extension student so it’s marked as “online only”), so I didn’t go, and won’t be able to go to the next one on Friday. I’m really looking forward to going on Monday,...

Someone blogged about my startup! →
Sorry about the onslaught of posts tonight, but this is possibly one of the coolest birthday presents ever: Dawn at Readosaurus Text wrote a really awesome blog post about the startup I work at and said some really nice things about me too (which totally made me blush)!

How Do I Shut Off My Brain?
Ack! I’m too excited about CS50, and my brain won’t let me sleep. I keep thinking of what I want to do for my final project. Yes, I haven’t even started the class and I already know what I want to do for the final project. It’s probably way too ambitious and needs to be polished, but I am so pumped about this idea. If I do manage to build it, I’ll share it here at...

WatchThis week I got to be a part of flash mob-y wedding proposal, which was super cute. Here’s the video and you can also check it out at www.jackandteresa.com.
Basically this is how everything went down:
Ben: Hey, what are you doing today at 6pm?
Me: Umm, I’m supposed to go to Kendall around 5:45…why?
Ben: Do you want to be in a flash mob? My friend is proposing to his...

You Missed a Lot
So yeah, there were a few posts that I had been meaning to write about settling into the new place and all that, but then I got really sick. Vertigo is a bitch. I’m feeling a lot lot better now, so here’s a summary of what you missed:
- We moved offices so I’m now working in Boston, not Cambridge. I’ll have to hit up the ICA since I’m right next to it now.
- I had a...

“Customers can trust McDonald’s to provide them with food that is real and made...”
– The fact that McDonald’s spokesperson Julie Pottebaum had to make a statement about McDonald’s food being “real” is worrisome enough, but if you want to be scared into never eating at a fast food joint again, you can read the whole article here.
Having to say that your food...

“Mr. Brooks’ classes are still the only ones that make her feel as if...”
– From the novel Milkweed by Deahn Berrini.
I’m about a third of the way into this book and I have to say that this is my favorite quote so far. It just resonated with me. I’ve always loved classes that really make you think and break your brain a little, and having that moment of wonder...
