Other Projects


 

I threw this page in to account for my other miscellaneous projects and interests of the "less technical" sort.

World Flags
July 2007

See: World Flag Page

Retrieved and processed all world flags from the CIA Factbook--and online repository for country statistics from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

GRE
January 2006 - August 2006

See: GRE Project Log

Began work in late January to study for the GRE in hopes of returning to college in the future. I'm told this is something I should do before I am too long out of college. So I've borrowed a book and I'm on my way!

Reading
1990 - Present

See: Reading List

I read all types of books: a lot of fiction, non-fiction, nerd books, etc.

Ball Pythons
May 2004 - Summer 2006

See: Pythons

When my college roommate moved out I purchased two baby ball pythons: Fuzzy and Wuzzy. When I moved to Atlanta, I gave them away.

Art

Irregularly, I render things in charcoal, graphite, acrylic, or some random mixed mediums. Enjoy modern art as a way to explore the medium itself—for instance: how charcoal can be paint can be piled on and mixed in different ways, or what happens when you spray a painting with a garden hose.

Martial Arts

In the past I have taken Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do,and Budo Taijutsu (ninjutsu) at a dojo at UAH.

Racquetball

As a military dependent, my father taught me how to play racquetball at a fairly young age. I’ve been playing off and on for quite some time—although I’m not great at it, I enjoy getting out and hitting the ball around. I am consistently stomped by my father, who enjoys membership in a local racquetball league.

Theater

My enjoyment of theater comes from my parents. As a highschool student, we were lucky to have the Repertory Theater nearby, so I was able to see a lot of stuff at a young age (Dracula, Cyrano De Bergerac, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and more). I have attended a number of performances on an off broadway:

  • Spamalot
  • Les Miserables
  • Phantom of the Opera
  • Show Boat
  • Sunset Blvd.
  • Miss Saigon
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Lion King
  • Wicked
  • Blue Man Group
  • Others
