Don't Starve is a pretty fun game that doesn't require a ton of computer power.

Immunology is calling my name.

I just started my classes for my senior year in Microbiology and the lecture and lab that I'm taking in immunology is really tickling my fancy. Perhaps this is my calling? We'll see in a few weeks.

Sleep however, is also calling my name, but I'm afraid this is likely going to be a 20 hour day. I hope I'll be able to squeeze a nap in here somewhere. Wish me luck!

Residential Assistant training is wrapping up and I'm still behind on hall decorations. Oh well.

Senior year of college (and either my last semester or 2nd to last semester) is about to begin. I have no idea how it got here so quickly. I'm not ready yet....

I'm still struggling to find ways to make my friend's website more profitable but we're just not hitting our goals.

Oh, and I watched the first episode of Scrubs. I'm gunna need a lot more popcorn.

Yep, that is my bad. You are correct. I've edited it to fix it now. Good catch!

MCHammerBro  ·  3171 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Web-Comic Recommendations?

I would definitely recommend Owlturd comix. The artist, Shen, draws inspiration from some of the other popular comics in this thread and also has his own creativity and flair as well. I found them to be so enjoyable that I even interviewed him at one point for a website that I write for

MCHammerBro  ·  3180 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Dear hubski, when do you feel the most powerful?

I feel very powerful in a shirt and tie. I have very little occasion to wear one, but I find that if I'm having a tough day (as a college student), I'll throw on a shirt and tie and wear it to class/meetings/meals just to pump up my motivation and self confidence.

Woo! I won! yeah....

Hahaha very amusing

MCHammerBro  ·  3182 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Dear Hubski, what do you want to learn?

I want to learn how to play my instruments to where I can play them as well as I can whistle. I want to learn how to make apps. I want to learn how to get a larger audience for the site that I write for. I want to learn how to invest in different things that I believe in.

MCHammerBro  ·  3182 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What are your favorite phone apps?

Airdroid Podcast Republic Google Rewards Wolfram Alpha

I'd say these are 4 non-social media apps that I'm very glad that I have and make things enjoyable and fun. I have an android device.

MCHammerBro  ·  3185 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: How often do you visit Hubski? How much time do you spend here? Why?

I'd say about 3-4 days a week. It's been growing on me for sure and whenever I realize it's been a while, I head right on over here.

This is awesome! The potential for this is huge. And here I thought displays wouldn't get better than 4K definition. This would be a whole new ballpark of quality.

MCHammerBro  ·  3193 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Woah! Epic!

MCHammerBro  ·  3196 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Cool! I hope to one day be able to dabble in an assortment of instruments!

MCHammerBro  ·  3196 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

I think about this all the time. I would love to be able to pitch bend and make crazy sounds on a real piano. Guess the only options would be to get an electric piano or invest in crazy custom pedal modifications.

But on the other hand, the piano has so much more range and allows for playing of both rhythm and melody simultaneously.

Also, good pick on the cello. I also enjoy how it sounds.

MCHammerBro  ·  3196 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Those both sound like very beautiful instruments to learn. And while I'm sure the music will sound very relaxing, the journey to learning will probably be quite frustrating as they both need a lot of discipline, hahaha. Good luck with that!

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

I've also dabbled a bit in guitar but I've yet to really spend time learning. I've tried out Justinguitar and I also recommend it. Perhaps one day we'll both get around to finding a real mentor.

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

I would say so! The hate on electronic music makes no sense since it still requires a working knowledge of music for it to be good. Plus you can make some really funky sounds with it.

I think I'll take a look at the link you share cause that sounds pretty awesome!

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Hahaha, I am also a frequent beatboxer and love keeping a beat slapping my arms, chest and legs. It's never too late to learn!

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

A half an hour or so on an electric piano a few days a week is plenty of time to get the basics down :)

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Facepalm Thanks for that!

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

I love a good saxophone solo in jazz tunes.

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Thanks!

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

That's an awesome way for some family bonding and a great way to motivate each other. Very cool!

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Some places have guitars for rental if you just want to learn and see if you like it before really investing in purchasing one!

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

I'm not familiar with Andrew Bird. Care to recommend me a song or two?

MCHammerBro  ·  3197 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What Musical Instrument would you love to learn?

Woah! That's an awesome turn of events. I've yet to meet someone who plays the accordion but I have an appreciation for the instrument. Does yours have keys or is it played by covering holes?

Wow, I really feel refreshed and rejuvenated and motivated after reading this. Thank you for sharing it.

MCHammerBro  ·  3204 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What is your big accomplishment for the week?

I already posted about this on here but I did an interview with a semi-famous web comic artist and it was illustrated by said artist and has now gone live on Youtube. It's took a lot of work but I'm happy with how it came out.
