Who am I?

My name is Thaddeus Beck. I am a husband, a father, a sports fan, but at the end of the day; I am a geek. Growing up I was always fascinated with computers, electronics, and video games. It helped that my Dad worked in the IT field, and we always had a computer in the house.

After graduating High School I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my career. So instead of going to college, I just started working. I moved into some Technical Support jobs and started to play around with batch jobs. After running into limits with what batch jobs could do I expanded to scripting languages, and found that work was as much of a hobby as it was my career.

I expanded into writing GUI applications using AutoHotkey.

But at this point I knew I wanted to pursue a formal training in programming.

In the fall of 2007, I registered in the Undergraduate Computer Science program at the University of Utah.

With the start of this semester I will be starting my senior year. This blog will catalog my work in the EAE (Entertainment Arts & Engineering) Senior Project I class. But before I talk about the present I will first talk about what I have worked on in the past...
