Ned Donovan - Ithaca ‘12

Hey everyone,

That new exciting update I talked about is still in the final stages, however I’ve added a new feature to the “Contact” section of the page.  I now have a Google Voice account, and while I don’t have multiple numbers, so it doesn’t work as well for me, I can now give you all the opportunity to call me from my web page!  It’s very exciting.  If you go to the “Contact” section, there is a button now from Google that says “Call” or something of that kind.  Click it and it will have you put in your number.  Your phone will then receive a call and that call will connect you to me.  It’s an experimental feature and I don’t know if I’ll keep it, but I’m excited to see if it works (or if anyone even uses it).  Anyways, best to everyone, and get excited about this new media update coming soon!!!!

Hey everyone,

I just found out today that the houndbite players I have set up to play my stuff on the audio section of this site are currently out of order. I’m not sure what’s going on and I don’t have time to figure it out right now, however I will try and get things back up and running. Maybe no one’s noticed because no one listens, but I would like to fix that anyways.

Sorry for the downtime. Hope all is well with everyone else.

As a little foreshadowing, there is a very exciting new section going to be coming to the media page soon, so watch closely. I think it should be ready before the end of the week.

Get pumped!

Hey everyone,

I just thought I’d quickly post about what’s going on out here in Ithaca.  I made it back safely 8 days ago and since then have been busybusybusy getting everything accomplished.  Last saturday I auditioned for the Hangar Theatre for their summer stock season, then sunday was the IC Mainstage auditions which had callbacks monday through wednesday.  After a great week of auditions I have been cast as Messenger in the Mainstage production of Much Ado About Nothing which will be great fun.  I’m a little nervous as I have never been in a Shakespeare before, but that’s also why I’m excited, because it will be an amazing opportunity and new experience for me.  I am also going to be taking part in a couple extra projects this semester.  I can’t say exactly what they are and when they’ll be just yet, because they are still being planned…however I can say that they will be amazingly fun and I hope well received, and one of them will be a video project, so look for more updates in the very near future about these things!  Hope all is well with everyone reading this, and can’t wait to unveil my other semester projects!

Hey everyone!
I am currently lying in my living room, in front of a dying fire, wrapped in a blanket, and watching the snow fall. I know, awesome. I also can’t sleep, but that’s besides the point. I just really wanted to let you all know that I am unbelievably excited about this snow, and can’t wait to upload pictures of the aftermath tomorrow. I am uploading some pictures of the accumulation thus far, and I’m pretty excited about this one. If all goes well, I’m going sledding tomorrow!
Until an update later, cheers to everyone.
*UPDATE* I woke up to a winter wonderland. Dear Lord it is amazing out there, I’m uploading a couple more pictures to see it for youselves, but I have friends who have been shovelling their car out for an hour now. It’s pretty nuts!

Hey everyone,

So it’s that time of the year where we all get together and stuff our faces in honor of good in the world.  That’s not me being sarcastic either, I love that tradition (I love food).  There’s not much to report here, I just hope that everyone’s having a phenomenal thanksgiving, that all my college friends are having wonderful breaks from school, and that everyone in my life is taking a day to relax, and just enjoy themselves.  I know I am.  I’m here in Allentown at my dad’s house with my Dad, Diana, Devan, and Graham joined me for thanksgiving as well.  We’re about to go out to a large thanksgiving gathering of friends which should be fun, and should have too much food involved.

My break has consisted of relaxing and eating and sleeping.  I’ve watched a bunch of football with Jason, played video games with Derek, watched movies with the gang, and one day when Graham, Jason, Christine, Danny Moss, Nick Taylor, and I went out for a hike in the woods of Ithaca.  The pictures are posted below.  Beyond that there’s not much else to report.  Graham and I got really lost driving down here…(okay I got really lost because I was driving and Graham was playing video games on his computer) and the trip which should’ve been 3 hours, took a little over 4.  Ah well, we can’t win them all.
