The first thing I want to read about is Kali. Smite is one of my favorite video games and I put way too much time into it. Smite is a video game that at the basic level takes gods from different pantheons and puts them into a ring to fight. For those familiar to the game genre, Smite is a MOBA, somewhat similar to League of Legends and Dota 2. Since describing this type of game would take a large amount of time and space, I am going to link this video by Purge (Dota 2 Personality) which does a great job of explaining the basics of Dota and by extension MOBAs in general since the basic concepts are very similar. Kali is one of the gods that is in the game as a playable character and one of my favorite characters in the game in general. She has a very unique play style which is one of the reasons she quickly became one of my most played heroes.

Similar to Kali, Agni is a playable character in Smite and one of my favorite characters in the game. I think that learning more about him and seeing how Smite's interpretation of him differs from his stories will be very interesting.

Vishnu
Thirdly, I think I would like to learn more about Vishnu. I don't really now much about him, other than what I briefly read on Wikipedia, but he seems pretty important.

I am also looking forward to both epics. I enjoyed reading The Odyssey in high school so I will hopefully enjoy both of these as well.

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.

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...
