These past 2 days I have been working on a comedy podcast, but not a funny one. I have been working on a podcast about political correctness in comedy, and where to draw the line of what’s okay and what’s not. I knew I had a good chance of pissing people off. The first day […]

This week we had self designed individual challenges. My challenge was to harvest three online packages; so what I am saying is: I learned how to hack. I started out learning all the steps to see all the different wifi that’s in my area, and how many people are on those wifi. Then I learned […]

My two day self design challenge was to create a role playing game. I stared with a pencil, an eraser, and a piece of paper and headed out to the coffee shop to get a first draft going. A little later, once I had walked back to the hostel, I finish the world map and started […]

It’s week nine, day two, I’m Dave Vyas, and I have dedicated the past two days to sleep, food, and exercise- in short, active self-care.

Over the course of the last 30 hours or so, I’ve done probably one of my least successful “challenges.” The reason I say this is because I decided to do a “two-part” challenge, and it didn’t really work out the way I hoped it would. For day 1, I embarked on a math journey. My […]
