I'm back in Boston! Working again at IBM on virtual worlds. I'm pretty excited about this, as it was a great summer internship experience, and I get to continue to work on the project until December.

I guess Boston wanted to welcome me back, so it decided to throw me a little gift. I was sitting my my new apartment, which by the way is awesome, and I hear a succession of loud banging. At first I was thinking, "uh oh, not another ghetto neighborhood with strange violence" but I go to the back and I see that there's a fireworks show going on, right outside in the Boston Harbor. It was really, a nice "welcome back" gift from Boston. Unfortunately for my roomie, she was trying to sleep, and it ended up waking her up (oops...)

Speaking of my new apartment in Boston, I just moved into it this past Labor Day weekend. It's no longer in a college environment, and more in a busy city environment, so it's quite different. Pretty nice in the day time, but then at night, it gets really empty and kinda spooky. I guess there are a lot of "young professionals" that live in the area. What exactly is a "young professional" anyway? Is the word supposed to have good vibes or something? I guess it's better than "young jobless, homeless folk"... I put up some photos of it here. It's quite a nice apartment, a lot bigger than our previous apartment, with a lot of nice furnishings. More pics of the apartment to come :)

In other news, I'm going to TOKYO! I'll be going to the Tokyo Game Show this year, and hopefully having an awesome time in Tokyo. I'll be leaving in two weeks, and staying for about a week.
