Go NU!




















My dad went to NU (Northeastern University of Boston) and has always loved college hockey. He buys 4 season tickets to the games and they're a blast every time. Yesterday, Saturday January 18th it was just us two and even though we lost it was a ton of fun. 

I didn't think this post would get "techy" but, how this picture was taken is actually pretty amazing. NU has this cool thing you can do where you go to a website, enter your section, row, and seat number and it finds you from across the stadium!

Can't post about NU without mentioning Stacy's Mom (the song). The band plays it every-time and its always a hit.

Did I mention I like hockey? #beanpot NU College Hockey, digital photograph, < https://news.northeastern.edu/2020/02/10/northeastern-men-win-third-straight-beanpot-in-5-4-double-overtime-victory-over-boston-university/ > BEANPOT ! The first round of the tournament (02/03/20) saw Northeastern defeat Harvard 3–1 and Boston University defeat Boston College 5–4 in double overtime. Round 2 (02/10/20):  Northeastern Huskies vs. Boston University.  The game was nerve racking. Within the first few minutes of the first period BU scored. The stadium seemed so quiet for 15,000 people even with the BU band and school cheering. You could sense the feeling of lost hope in the NU section. So somber. Shortly after BU scored again. Not good. We exited the second period still behind.. BUT WE CAME BACK BABY! Bam, bam, bam, bam four goals in a row. Third period and Huskies are up 4-2. We're all thinking its in the bag but cant ignore the Miracle flashbacks. Side note - If you h...

Catching Up

Image
I didn't post last week. I wanted to but was preoccupied with other things and couldn't quite gather the motivation or focus to write. I'll play a little catchup and bring us up to speed. Last week was the first of 2 Beanpot nights. The Beanpot for those who are unfamiliar is a college tournament between four college hockey teams here in Boston. There are two games with the winners face each other the next week. Lucky for us the team we are rooting for (Northeastern i.e. NU) won their first game so they've moved on and will be playing for the Beanpot (trophy) tomorrow night. I've never really been into other sports but c ollege hockey is something special.  The school band is at every game and always plays great music. Some fan/student favorites are Every-time We Touch (Cascada), I'll Make A Man Out Of You (Mulan Soundtrack, and of course Stacy's Mom (Fountains of Wayne) among others. The student section always gets into it and sings along. When the band...

Deadmau5 & Liberty

Image
Thursday January 16th was a day where polar opposite events happened. It started per usual with work at PBI (the insurance agency). I had plans that night to see Deadmau5, a trance/house artist at The House of Blues (HOB) in Boston, MA. Going out to a concert on a Thursday with work the next morning might be a little atypical however things got more interesting when I managed to schedule a meeting at Liberty Mutual headquarters in Boston just hours before the concert.  I'm working on a project, something I hope will revolutionize the insurance industry. Unfortunately I wont be sharing too much about this until its completion in the coming months as it is pretty technical and potentially top secret. Nevertheless, I went to meet with an acquaintance to talk about the project who offered to give myself and my friend Matt a tour of Liberty HQ. Matt drove up with me to Boston for Deadmau5. Liberty HQ was cool, very big and corporate. One of the posted images is Mat...
