Storybook Favorites - Inspiration

 Super Ramayana Brothers

    This was the first storybook title to catch my eye as I love video games. I thought that the idea to combine this story with Super Mario Bros was incredible and actually fits really well. The author did a great job at making this easy to digest and fun to read at the same time. The layout was clean and simple, and I thought that the author's notes were interesting to read. Combining epics with video games was something I had not considered prior to coming across this storybook. This has definitely given me some ideas on what I could potentially do for my own project. 


Epic Cooking

    At first, when I saw this title in the list I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I quickly understood and loved the idea! (who doesn't love food?) The introduction was great as it perfectly laid out the format for the project and introduced each story to us. The idea to have the characters from the stories writing to the author was awesome and it helped characterize each character. I thought that this was very enjoyable to read and the idea to make the food the primary focus was really cool. In addition to the stories being in a really nice format, the recipes and subsequent pictures are laid out very nicely and are very easy to follow.


Cryptid Hunting

    This title caught my eye immediately because I love learning about cryptids and the movies and shows associated with the subject. This was a really fun project to read and I liked how it is formatted as if it is his field journal. I could definitely see myself doing a similar project because I'm sure there are plenty of fascinating mythological creatures in the Epics that we are going to read. This project was very nicely written and the layout was very easy to follow as well.

Introduction to Jacob the Entrepreneur

 My name is Jacob and I am a Sophomore majoring in Economics. I'm from the Texas Hill country (a place called Bulverde, just north of San Antonio) however I was born in El Paso. Despite growing up near both the University of Texas and Texas A&M, I am actually a lifelong OU fan. My parents and grandparents were all fans of either of the other two schools, but I held my ground. My grandma would always tell me "you'll probably change your mind several times as you got older", but I knew that I wanted to be a Sooner. Originally, I had planned on majoring in Biology and eventually (hopefully) going to medical school. But my interests rapidly changed over my freshman year at OU. Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Reading Notes: Epified - Mahabharata Part F

Ep 48 - Krishna Meets the Pandavas          News about the defeat of the Pandavas in the gambling match made it to Krishna. He left to meet the Pandavas in the forest. He was upset that he hadn't been available to help the Pandavas because he was protecting Dwarka. Krishna urged the Pandavas to fight the Kauravas and take back their kingdom. They did not agree.      The reason Krishna was not able to be there for the Pandavas is that Dwarka was being attacked by King Shalva. Krishna ended the war when he used his Sudarshan Chakra to decapitate Shalva.  Ep 49 - Arjun Receives Shiva's Weapon     Krishna blesses the Pandavas and promises his allegiance. The Pandavas were struggling with little resources. Many sages came and gave them knowledge while living in the forest. Ved Vyasa came to visit the Pandavas. He told Arjun that he needed to acquire Indra's and Shiva's celestial weapons in order to win the war. Arjun left for the Himalay...
