The Inevitable Self Once More
Notice the 3 pairs of headphones on...
In the near future, I might be the guy who brings a robot into your home to make life a bit easier. It may be a bit idealistic now, but that is something I’ve been considering to do with my life. Just like my father, I still do not know what I want to do when I grow up!
I’m Daryl Hansen, a senior undergraduate Computer Science and Arts & Technology student at UTDallas. However, I’m not from Texas. My dad is in the military, so I have not lived in one place for more than a few years. UTDallas is the longest, almost four years, I have ever been enrolled in the same school. The result is that I am very addicted to moving and traveling, making home wherever I am at. I just spent a few months over the summer having a blast studying in Okazaki, Japan. If I had to call somewhere home, it seems that it might be the place.
I love learning. I was that kid who was actually excited to go to school. However, that desire to learn has matured into an unhealthy obsession of 21 hours a semester and broadened into many categories including film editing, Japanese language, and interactive design. I’m a sucker for music, my hair bleeds dye, and I breathe electronics.
I’ve had a number of different jobs in the past. My most recent ones include being an Orientation Team Mentor for 2 years, a research assistant in the CS department for a year, and now co-owning 5 Minute Games Inc., a company that does mobile game development. The company actually came out of the school, from the CGEC this last spring. http://atec.utdallas.edu/cgec/ The website for our company is getting a major overhaul in the next few weeks, but here is a link to the site: http://5-minutegames.com
I’m excited about the class and getting to know all of you well! Find me on Facebook, and feel free to talk to me anytime online or in person!
Whether I am in the country...
or in the city, I feel at peace in Japan

I can’t begin to imagine moving so often. My mom’s life was like that so I guess she decided that she was going to settle down and raise her kids in the same house for our entire lives…
18 years in the same location makes Kenny sick of Houston, TX.

I would line you and Jainan’s pockets with money via Balance of Power, but I don’t have an iphone and don’t plan on getting one. However the moment it’s re released on PC I’ll grab a copy. Maybe another once you put it on Steam and add achievements.
I don’t think I could imagine what It would be like to move around that much, but I imagine it would be both exciting and difficult.
Do you listen to 3 songs at once? Or do you have one song blasting on 3 sets for an intense listening experience.
