With a busy weekend fast approaching, I didn’t have time to write a technical article of any kind. However, I did manage to throw a couple quick playlists together for your listening pleasure. Enjoy. =]

Welcome to my homepage!  After all these years of doing web development, I finally have my own little spot on the web.  I first began making websites way back in the 7th grade, so you do the math.  In one aspect, this site will serve as a personal blog with occasional ramblings about stuff that is important to me and recent events that have taken place in my life.  However, I suspect the majority of my posts here are going to be tutorials on technology, programming, and mathematics related topics.  Hopefully those aren’t too dry of subjects for the majority of you, but I’ll do my best to sort of ‘dummy them down’ so that maybe you’ll learn something new or interesting.

I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to give a brief introduction of myself either.  My name is Justin Burr, I’m 23 years old, and I attend the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire.  I’m in my final year there as a comprehensive Computer Science major and Mathematics minor.  I like doing anything outdoors, whether that be running, roller blading, biking, swimming, grilling, or floating down the river.  When I’m confined indoors, I like listening to music, watching movies, and doing geeky stuff on the computer.  I’m also a big football fan and grew up watching the Green Bay Packers.  Am I saddened at the news of Brett Favre’s third retirement this morning?  Well, I’m certainly surprised to say the least.  Very surprised.  I fully expected him to play one final year.  But hey – he hasn’t officially announced it yet and the stories floating around ESPN could very well be rumors.  Head coach Brad Childress didn’t seem to be aware of what had happened.  Even star running back Adrian Peterson claimed he still wasn’t sure of Favre’s intentions even after exchanging several texts with him.  So personally, I don’t buy it.  We’ll see how this plays out in the upcoming days though – either way, this seems like good news for the Packers.

For a rough idea of the type of articles I have planned for this website in the not too distant future, check out the Computer Science and Mathematics tabs on the navigation bar at the top of the website.  I’m thinking that maybe I’ll start off with an article about RSA encryption, Java Server Pages, Pointers in C/C++, sorting algorithms, a movie review, or even some predictions on the upcoming NFL season.  We’ll have to see what sparks my interest in the upcoming week.  Leave a comment below and let me know what you’d like to see and what you think of the new website!
