GTK+ & Windows XP
Remember that C course I was talking about? Well part of it is to create a final project in which you choose from a list of libraries to make an application that does what ever you decide. I chose the OpenCV library and so far I think I want to make something that detects objects from a video stream of a webcam. That’s nice and all, but I also decided that I needed a GUI for said app.

2013: THE PRESENT FUTURE
Oh hello blog that I’ve been regularly ignoring. It is currently the second day of the new year and I am writing this during the last moments I have in Nevada for a while.

I didn’t start with the correct version of...
Lingua Franca
According to the accepted measure of time developed by people using practices they labeled as scientific, I am 24 and a half years old. The language in which I am typing is called English. It is made up of sounds created by positioning the tongue in the mouth and vibrating the vocal chords while exhaling. Somehow words were assigned to specific objects around people in order to communicate with...

Vincent Gallo Sells His "Charms" →
If you are a very rich lady who enjoys building up a misogynistic man’s ego by subjecting yourself to arranged “intimate” moments for a fee and also look Aryan, maybe this link would be good for you to check out.
Otherwise, this is a hilarious attempt an actor is making to be his own pimp. Is he really this strapped for cash? Is this really a business endeavor? I have many, many...

Hackbright Academy
For the past two weeks I have been learning how to code in an innovative educational start-up called Hackbright Academy that was created to improve the unbalanced ratio of male to female programmers. The instructors are teaching accelerated software programming to 12 very ambitious, intelligent women. I am proud to be one of their students and to be working with such interesting people.
We learn...
