Hello World – Chris Weber Edition

Well I suppose the title says it all.  I’d like to think that there’s something profound I can say here to kick off this site in some dramatic fashion, but I’m not sure there is.  I think part of this stems from my indecisiveness as to what I want this site to be: political commentary? Not really my strong suit. Technological advancements? I’m a pretty busy student (maybe we’ll get to this more later), I don’t think we’d have many updates, and even fewer remarkable ones. A collection of hilarious GIFs and cat videos? In addition to being partial to puppies, I think there are plenty of sites doing a much better job of that.  What I do know, is Stony Brook has given me some web space, and like all other resources you get in college, why not use it?

So here we are, a site with some potential, but somewhat lost in terms of a direction, not so unlike its author.  I’m an alumni of Stony Brook University and also a current Graduate Student there as well, both in Computer Science.  Originally from the Hudson Valley Area of New York, college is both far enough away and not too far at the same time.  As a Computer Scientist I’ve been able to study a subject that I find both challenging and rewarding for a number of years, however my interests lie on a far broader spectrum than just behind a keyboard.  These interests have been able to occupy and employ myself and my time for quite some time now, and one of my fears of getting older is that my job, family, personal life, interests, and everything else that goes into a life may fall out of whack while I’m not looking.  Luckily I’ve been fortunate enough to be surrounded by some amazing people, and all told, it’s been a great time.

So what is this site? I’m not sure anyone knows (but I know of some snarky texts I’ll be getting because of it haha), but I’m excited to find out, and if anyone has some insight they’d like to share, feel free to let me know in the comments section…I think I have a comments section at least…
