Hey everybody!

Sorry it has been so many months since I have blogged on here!  After Battlestar Galactica ended, I stopped blogging here for some reason and focused my writing skills on the Global Geek News Blog and the awesome tech news site TechVi.com.  I have decided to focus more on this blog because some exciting things are starting to happen, mainly I am going back to school starting today!

For those who haven’t heard, I am one of the few students out of thousands of applicants to get into the brand new online school University of the People.  I am looking to finish getting my Computer Science degree after having been out of school for just over 2 years.  Just a quick little bit about the school, it is a tuition free institution that is open to anybody around the globe that speaks English and it is focused on the social networking angle of education.  Right now it is only for those seeking a computer science degree or a business degree but they look to expand in the future.  Anyway, since they are a new school who is opening its doors for the first time today and is very different from any school ever created, I am going to blog every bit of my experience on here.  I don’t know if I will have daily updates about it, but I expect to have some updates at least once or twice a week among everything else that I plan on blogging about.

Speaking of things I plan on blogging about, I have decided that I am going to shift the focus of this blog slightly and make it about everything that is on my mind that doesn’t fit anywhere else that I write.  Everything from a cool YouTube video I have seen to my rants about the idiot construction workers that make my commute a nightmare, I am going to be putting it on here.  Some posts will be long, some will be short but I want this to be an uncensored place where I can put everything that is going on with me and my thoughts about the world around me.  I can’t promise I will post everyday because my life is already hectic as it is without school, but I will do my best.  I am hoping to juggle all of my current projects and hobbies while going back to school but I don’t know just how successful I will be with that.

Since I am very tired and need to go to bed, I will save some updates on things like my podcasts until the next post which should come sometime in the next 24 hours.  There is a lot to talk about and catch everybody up on so stay tuned!  One last thing, although I do know that the BSG movie, The Plan will be out on DVD before it airs on TV, I still plan on live blogging the tv airing for those who are still interested since I promised to do it when the show ended earlier this year.
