Goodbye, Wordpress!
As you may or may not have noticed, this blog has recently undergone a pretty drastic change. Aside from pure design upgrades, I've moved off Wordpress (good riddance!) and joined the geek bandwagon by writing my blog with [Jekyll](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll). Here's my obligatory "I moved to Jekyll" blog post! ## Why...

2012 CS Resolutions
Matt Might's ["What every computer science major should know" article](http://matt.might.net/articles/what-cs-majors-should-know/) is fantastic. I regret not reading this article in the beginning of the holiday break, but I guess I can use this as sort of a "2012 CS Resolutions" list since everyone seems to be making New Years resolutions right...

Sorry for the long hiatus!
I know I always write a post like this every couple of months or so, but I swear I'm coming back to blogging soon! It's my (probably) my last semester at Berkeley, and I'm really excited and terrified at the same time. My workload this semester is intentionally light (well,...

One that stuck to me in particular was #8 - The Boy Scout Rule. From the real-life Boy Scout rule "always leave a place...

A busy semester..
Abstract Syntax Trees. Target lists. Augassigns. Function types. This semester I took a compilers course with [Professor Hilfinger](http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~hilfingr/), who, despite his formidable reputation, quickly became my favorite professor at Berkeley. During the course of the semester, my group of four and I wrote a Python compiler in C++ basically from...

CS "Bucket List" 11/15
Wow, I haven't written in here in a loooong time (over 2 months!). School is getting crazy busy, between taking 3 upper div classes (which I love), TAing the [Software as a Service course](http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs169/fa10/) here at Berkeley, co-facilitating a [web design](http://decal.aw-industries.com/) class, undergraduate-researching over at the [RAD Lab](http://radlab.cs.berkeley.edu/), and hacking...
