A Little Change of Plans (Good and Bad News)

If you’ve read my last few posts, you might have noticed that, well, I suck at setting deadlines for myself. I guess that’s what happens when I’m excited about a project but also too busy to make it happen.
So, the bad news is I’m going to put this project on hold until the summer. I’m […]

The Pieces Are Coming Together

I’m starting to get a better idea of what my days will look like this semester, and they look busy! I switched around all of my classes at the last minute because I got the opportunity to take an interesting (and very experimental) class. But more on that later.
I sat in on tons […]

I Have a Dilemma…

Which do you think is better?

Starting the new site as soon as possible, but only being able to make one video a week
Starting the site much later, and then making a video every day or two

I’m really leaning toward the second option. I would’ve liked to start the site as soon as possible, but it’s […]

Another Update on the New Site

Hi again! Not surprisingly, I was a bit too optimistic about how soon I could finish the new and (hopefully) improved site. So, my new deadline is January 10th.
I’m still hoping to make a video every day once I get it started, though — well, at least for the first month. I’ll have to see […]

I’m baaaack — with some big news!

Why hello there! I just remembered I had a website. No, no, I didn’t actually forget. I’ve been so busy with college, I haven’t had enough time to actually learn anything.
But here’s the big news: On January 1st, 2010, I’m restarting this site! Yup, it’s time for a fresh start. I still have the […]

I’m Getting a Degree in… (Drum Roll)

“So what do you plan to major in?”

“I have no idea.”

Sometime during high school, everyone started asking about my plans for the future. I never had any. My English teachers always told me to major in comparative literature or creative writing, but I knew I’d want to shoot myself if I took that many English classes! I’d be good at it, but it’s just not my thing.

So what is my thing? I still have no idea, but I have decided on a major.

LearningNerd’s Site Redesign and Two Design Contests

Yup, LearningNerd has a new look! The first thing you’ll notice is the brand new logo, which I made today to enter the Logo Design Love Awards, a competition for blog logos (the deadline is March 1st).
Let me know what you think of the logo and the rest of the site! It’s very plain, and […]

One Full Year of Learning Everything!

Actually, I started this goal/project/experiment/whatever-it-is on August 1st, 2006, but I launched LearningNerd.com exactly one year ago today.
So where am I right now in terms of learning everything? Well, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t made a substantial post since I started college. I was joking when I said it was Time to Stop […]

Time to Stop Learning and Start College

Nah, not really. I’m hoping I’ll have enough time for college and learning outside of college. I might even learn a few things in class! I’m planning to compare what I learn in college to what I can learn for free on the internet. I have the utmost respect for my soon-to-be teachers and […]
