Hey everyone! So guess what! It's been two years, and I have now successfully uploaded 1 gig of space! Unfortunately, that is my limit. I have come up with a short term alternative solution (it's confusing and complicated, I'll spare you the details), but I may end up putting ads on this blog so I can pay for the extra storage space. Also may not, gonna talk with a marketing friend of mine tonight to figure out some other possibilities. Anyways, without further ado:
MY TURKEY BREAK
So a little backstory, the week before my turkey break my friend got accepted to give a TED talk at Georgia Tech. (
TED stands for Technology Entertainment Design, and features some of the brightest and best minds giving 5-20 minute presentations on their topic of expertise. Or as the website puts it, they are "Riveting talks by Remarkable People").
So it was a pretty big deal that he got accepted to give a TED talk, and I spent almost the whole week before hand either praying or helping him prepare for it. THEN on Friday, he mentioned that he could bring a friend (and this thing was completely sold out by the first day),

And some pictures while he was talking

And that was all I stayed for. I had originally made plans to hang out with this guy!
