It’s clear from looking at my last entry that it has been a long time since I’ve posted. My main priority has been finishing up university, and outside that, my free time has been devoted to work, some web side projects, photography, and enjoying the college years. However, now that I only have one semester of school left — one class, in fact — I’d like to refocus on my blog and expanding my presence on the web. I’ll go into details below, but this summer, I’m going to have lots of exciting things to write about, and, as before, I plan on sticking to four areas: tech, travel, photography, and random thoughts of mine.

So, an amazing opportunity has just recently come to me. I’m pleased to announce that this summer I’ll be participating in the TechStars Boulder 2011 program as a HackStar! For those not familiar with it, TechStars is a start-up accelerator program that helps new tech start-up companies get up and running through mentoring from Boulder’s amazing community of successful entrepreneurs and investors. As a HackStar, I will float among the eleven twelve participating start-ups, helping them develop and improve the web side of their businesses. My focus will be front-end development (i.e., user interface and user experience).

I’m extremely excited for this opportunity. Not only will I get to use and improve my skills while being part of something big, I’ll learn all about creating new start-ups, and I’ll make amazing connections that could come in handy if I ever launch my own (and I definitely do have some ideas!).

Besides TechStars, several concerts are on my schedule, including U2, Blues Traveler, Matisyahu, and Death Cab for Cutie. I’m also crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to head to Florida for the final launch of the Space Shuttle, tentatively scheduled for July.

That’s all for now. If you’d like to know what I’m up to until the next post, follow me on Twitter.
