These two words are the first thing every programmer learns how to make a computer say. Just a simple print statement declaring that the system exists. A pertinent thought to consider in regards to my summer internship at Facebook. Facebook is dominated by hacker culture, something born from computer engineers and their love of tinkering [...]
It’s summer! Well at least it almost is for you all right? We’re already coming up on a month of our summer vacation and it has been an incredible month for me. I’m currently working at a company called Spy Pond Productions. Spy Pond is a documentary production company that has produced films for PBS, [...]
If you’re anything like me your ‘relaxing final summer’ is more of a whirlwind of packing, goodbyes, family vacations, and more packing. Orientation just became one of the added stressors of last summer, so here’s a few things that will hopefully help put you at ease. First off, you don’t have to meet your best [...]
A couple of days ago at my internship, I was organizing the mail when I came across the yet-to-be-released Sigur Rós album, sent from the band’s label. I was so tempted to pop it into my computer and give it a listen before anyone else, but (being the conscientious worker I am), I dropped it [...]
This summer I’m spending my time interning for the Cotuit Ketleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. I knew I wanted to do something baseball related this summer and the Cape league seemed like the perfect fit. I’ve only been here for a week but I’ve loved every minute of it! I’ve figured out that [...]

I hope you all have some fun things planned for these next three months and are gearing up for Orientation! I’m currently [...]

Hey everyone! As I’m sitting here writing in the Sun and watching happy joggers bounce down the banks of the Charles, it’s clear that summer has arrived. Soon, classes will end and BU’s 16,000-odd students will take off for all corners of the globe to relax, explore, or work a summer job. For many COM [...]

Follow me…two words that would make me cringe at first sight on non-related communication accounts. I must admit that I should now be classified as a hypocrite due to my recent bandwagon membership. I am now like the flock of people that dare to compose posts soliciting this “following” fellowship but for good reason: it [...]
