When I started the Computing and Information Science graduate program at the University of Guelph, I realized there are many things I work on that needs to be documented. This blog will be the document reflecting my experiences when I was a grad student, experiences as an up and coming iPhone developer, and the few other things I do in my spare time.

    My blog is where I document the events I take part in, the assignments I do, the things I have to take care of at work, etc., etc.. I’ll more than likely post things I find interesting or odd from my other websites.

    My porfolio contains works I've done in the past, books I've read, and most of the thing I've done to get me where I am today. There's photography and some videos that I done that I think is pretty good.

    If you need to get in touch with me, use the "contact me" page. I'll try to respond to all the messages I get. 

'Til Debt do us part

October 14, 2006 - 13:08 — Jason

I never really understood how finances work in relationships. In this instance, I’m talking more about marriage. Who pays what? Do both pay cheques go into a joint account? I’ve always done my finances my own way. My mom does my tax returns because she’s in the accounting game, but once I’m done school, that will all change. I’ve grown very accustomed to a strict budgeting schedule where I know how much money I have to spend on treats and toys, how much goes into savings, and what portion goes to bills, etc. What do married people do? Does all the money go into a joint account and then get filtered out accordingly? Are all spending decisions discussed before they can occur? I don’t know about everyone else, but that sort of life style would not go over well with me.

New Research Direction

October 5, 2006 - 10:04 — Jason

    My committee meeting was very interesting. I learned how much I was on the wrong track, and how unimaginative I was. It was a good experience though. I learned that many of the things I’ve been doing have been done, but there are still some that aren’t done. The best piece of advice I got was to follow the lines of agriculture and veterinarian medicine. At the company I work for, they do several web projects for professors that have a good amount of money to spend on websites that they need for teaching and whatnot, but there isn’t many veterinarian related computer science projects that can be used in everyday situations. So my research has taken a new and exciting direction.

The Waterloo Job Fair

September 30, 2006 - 11:20 — Jason

    So after I found out the job was given away to 2 other student, I thought that there’s no point in me being upset about it (but I’m still pretty pissed off about it). So Varden, Chris, and I went to the career fair at RIM park in Waterloo. There were so many new companies there this year that they needed to use both sides of the arena! I have to admit, I thought it was a great idea that I went to the career fair this year. I met many potential employers that seemed interested in what I was doing, but most of them wanted waterloo grads immediately.
