I decided that I wanted to see the whole android app publishing process. So I made a very simple app called ‘Risk Battle Simulation’. What it basically does is make it simpler to roll risk dice. You can view the app here.

View Facebook pictures normally (without the lightbox, on their own page)

Facebook recently made it so when you click on a picture you see it in a lightbox. The idea is nice but the execution needs some work. If you would like to go back to seeing pictures normally on their own page follow these easy steps.

1) Click on any picture that you want to see.
2) In the address bar of your browser (where you type in the URLs of websites) go to the end of the current address and delete just the “&theater” part.
3) Hit enter and go back to seeing that picture normally.

My Life Is Hopkins

My new website is mylifeishopkins.com (My Life Is Hopkins or MLIH). Its a website that allows students to post small anecdotes about life at Johns Hopkins University. I made the website during finals week when I should probably have been studying. The bulk of the work took 2 hours and I made a few tweaks over break. The site has grown really quickly and has gained over 200 members in the past 3 days!

I realized that I never made a post about this so I figured that I should. This year at the Los Angeles robotics regional I won the Los Angeles “Dean’s List Finalist” award. It is the only award that FIRST robotics awards to individual students. Find out more about the award here.

Also, I got a nexus one.
