• Think Tank: Trivia Crack

    Last weekend, the other editors at The Poly Post told me about Trivia Crack, and it’s been downhill ever since. Trivia Crack is a trivia game that you play against other people. You spin a virtual wheel, and depending on where you land, you get a random multiple-choice question about sports, history, geography, art, science…

  • Think Tank: Having It Together

    Earlier today, I asked the video editor at The Poly Post if he wanted to make the camera his career. (I like to ask people these kinds of questions, because I’m weird.) He said that he wasn’t sure of whether or not he wanted to be in front of or behind the camera, but that…

  • Think Tank: Relinquishing Control

    In the last two days, I have had several moments where I realized what my biggest self-loathed quality is. I hate relinquishing control of my future. Let me backtrack for a second. I’ve gotten to the point in my academic career where I am starting to make decisions about post-graduation life. I’ve applied to graduate school…

  • Think Tank: Netflix

    Netflix accounts for 34.9% of peak North American Internet traffic http://t.co/UuV5nItN2t — Anthony De Rosa (@AntDeRosa) November 20, 2014 I saw this tweet this morning (from a very good journalist, might I add), and I couldn’t get it out of my head all day. According to that statistic, more than a third of the internet traffic…

  • Think Tank: Instagram Likes

    As part of my duties as student assistant extraordinaire, I help run Cal Poly Pomona’s Instagram. On my way into the office at 1 p.m., I snapped a photo of the CLA Building, edited it a little bit, and posted it to the account. By 5 p.m., it had nearly 400 likes. While I was…

  • Think Tank: Creative Extracurriculars

    I’m taking an art journaling class, and it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. For two hours on Monday and Wednesday afternoons after work, I get to work on my journal, eat really good food and zone out. I’ve only been to one class so far, but when I got in my car to…

  • Think Tank: Throwback Thursday

    I have participated in Throwback Thursday (#tbt or #throwbackthursday, depending on your hashtagging preferences) and Flashback Friday (again, #fbf or #flashbackfriday) a grand total of three times. Coincidentally, all three photos happened to be from concerts. My motivation for today’s photo stemmed from the facts that I found it in my Camera Roll, thought it was cool, and realized…

  • Think Tank: Two Thoughts on a Car-Centered Culture

    Today was the first day of fall quarter, and of course, it was just my luck that I had car issues and had to be towed home at the end of a long day at school. All day, I was frustrated and stressed out about not having a car that works right. But on the way home,…
