Gods/Devas
As I mentioned in a previous blog, one of my favorite games of all time is Smite. This game features gods from a few different pantheons, including gods from the Hindu Pantheon. The game gives a basic background on the gods tailored to the game itself. I am interested in seeing how well the designers interpretations of the gods match up with how they are classically portrayed. I think I would likely focus on significant battles they fought when retelling stories.

Weapons of the Gods/Astra
I have always been interested in weaponry. I greatly enjoy military history, and while this isn't quite history, I think it will still interest me. I have little to no knowledge on any of the weapons of the gods. I think I will likely focus on the roles these weapons played in significant battles, or how they came into being.

Epic Battles
Again, I really enjoy military history, so I think reading about these battles will be pretty exciting. I know nothing of the battles in the epics. I think I will focus on the impact these battles have in the overall story, or maybe just focus on the epicness of the battles themselves.

Devi
Similar to my interest in the gods, my interest in Devi stems from Smite. Kali was a playable character in the game, and one of my favorites, so I am interested in seeing how the two depictions match up. My only knowledge of Devi is of Kali. I will likely focus my storytelling on Kali and on Devi's impact on humanity.

Introduction to a Hopeful Rocket Scientist

My name is Chris Weigel and I am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Initially, I came to OU wanting to be a Chemical Engineer. I have always enjoyed chemistry and still do to this day. Often my favorite parts of my classes are those that involve looking at the chemistry behind the mechanics. That being said, I switched to Aerospace because I realized how much I love aircraft and spacecraft. I am a member of the Boomer Rocket Team, an engineering competition team focused on building rockets for competition. Last year I helped build our rocket for the Spaceport America Cup which is an international competition. This was the team's first competition with more than 5 other teams competing. BRT Rocket Launching at Competition Courtesy of BRT Other than building rockets, I am an avid gamer. I probably play more video games than I should, but I'm having fun so I guess I don't really care. I primarily play Overwatch and Dota 2. I play a number of other games as ...

Week 14 Reading - Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales Part A: The Monkey-Bridge

There was a group of monkeys that lived near a river with a great tree that bore fruit. The monkeys never let any fruit fall into the river as they were afraid that if fruit fell in, it would float down to a human city and the humans would come searching for the fruit, thus forcing the monkeys away. One fruit was hidden by an ant nest and fell into the river and floated to the city. A king found it and tasted it and then ordered the tree the fruit came from be found. The king ordered the monkeys killed. The monkey king leapt to another tree and tied a reed around his foot, then jumped back so that his people could cross to the other tree. The reed was only long enough to allow him to grab the tree. All of the monkeys fled, but one monkey jumped on the monkey king's back and broke it. Then, they left him behind. The human king brought him down and spoke to him, moved by what he saw. The monkey king spoke some wisdom to him, then died. The human king built a temple in the m...
