End of 2012

It's been awhile and I practically forgot I still have this running. Just a few thoughts to get off my mind as I may work on this a bit more if I find the time. I completed my Masters in Applied Sciences in the Fall and I am very proud for this accomplishment. The downside is that the job market has been a bit depressing but I will stay hopefully.

I decided to buy a Nexus 7 and it has been beside me sitting on my desk almost as something to push information and send alerts and updates even though I am usually on my computer. It is a great little device that suits my needs and was great having it while I am travelling. It is not a computer replacement but for basic usage, it is a great device. I have had thoughts of buying a Nexus 4 sometime, hopefully that will be my first gift to myself when I land a job. Seems like I tend to buy myself gifts for milestones in my life.

Speaking of random gifts, I decided to buy a pair of Beyerdynamic's Custom One Pro. I now have a fairly good variety of headphones and these headphones are a good compromise since I had wanted a pair of DT770 and these seem like it can have a similar sound signature. Very happy with the purchase even though I should refrain from too much spending.

After all this time, I decided to import Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD for the PS3 and hopefully it arrives next week. Video games have kept me busy and fairly happy for the most part. I absolutely love the Monster Hunter series and its kind of sad that it took me this long to import it but I will have the game at last.

The main time sink with video games this year has been Diablo III where I have several goals with the game. For as much complaint as there is with the game, I have spent so much time in it and still find the excitement of loot drops. I really did get sucked into Diablo III this year and although I wish I approached it a bit differently, I can't really complain with how things have transpired thus far.

Lastly I just wanted to make a list of projects that I may pursue. I just have a lot of ideas in my head and sadly not everything can come to fruition. Take care and happy holidays!
