I’m not sure, but I think I’ll have to eventually join Facebook. On the plus side it seems to be an easy way to stay in touch with friends and family. It might also help career-wise to try and develop some simple apps for the platform. I don’t know - from what I read on […]
17.8
2010.09.07 ~ 08:37:55
I finally ran from my house to my parent’s house this weekend, a total of 17.8 miles. Took me a little over 3 hours, which puts me on pace for a marathon time of 4:15 - 4:30 if I decide to go ahead and give it a shot. Here’s the conversation between my mom and […]
self discovery (superhero edition)
2010.07.09 ~ 12:38:11
I just realized something. All my favorite superheroes as a kid embodied some aspect of my self-image. I was a good student so I liked Batman because he was smart. I was a small kid so I liked the Atom. I was pretty fast so I liked the Flash. And I was/am severely nearsighted so […]
can’t we get a nickname?
2010.06.16 ~ 13:47:56
One of my favorite things about the World Cup is the cool nicknames for the various national teams. Brazil - the Seleção (the Select). Italy - the Azzuri (Sky Blues). Slovenia - the Green Dragons. England - the Three Lions. Australia - the Socceroos. Germany - Die Mannschaft (the Team). Japan - the Blue Samurai. […]
cool map of migration patterns in the US
2010.06.16 ~ 12:08:55
Forbes has a great infographic showing migration patterns at the county level in the US. The data is from 2008. Looks like everyone from Gloucester County NJ is retiring to Arizona or Florida. Clever use of color as an indicator - red for outbound, black for inbound. Makes it easy to tell at a glance […]

Had a chance to play guitar with some friends this past weekend. There is nothing quite like playing electric guitar nice and loud. Especially when joined by such excellent musicians. Though I feel goofy about playing in front of people at this point in my life, the act of making music is still pure joy. […]
should this make me feel happier?

A recent study found that Asian-Americans living in New Jersey live better than any other ethnic group in any other state, based on overall health, education, and income. I’m an Asian-American living in New Jersey and, while I don’t feel depressed or anything, I also don’t see myself as being markedly happier than anyone else. […]
cool east meets west infographics

I like checkin’ out charts.
Charts rule!
A chart is a handy dandy scientific tool…
Sid the Science Kid.
I love good infographic design. Liu Yang’s ‘east meets west’ series is a great example of concise, witty information presentation.The best infographics present data or ideas in a way that seem both surprising and instantly familiar.
now THIS is a tv show…
2010.04.30 ~ 14:04:43
remember those arguments you used to have with your friends - like, who would win in a fight, ninja or spartan? Well, Spike TV settles those arguments once and for all with Deadliest Warrior. Awesome concept, awesome cast (ancient weapons specialist, trauma surgeon, computer guy), awesome narrator (sounds like an Asian Lord of the Rings […]
