And now a word about sleep Mar 19, 2007

On my notepad where I try to capture random thoughts, my barely legible handwriting reads

"The moment between being awake and being asleep is so pleasurable".

It must have been a really good nap for me to commit that thought to pen and paper. This time change has really been bad for my work schedule. I've been getting up late, going to work late, and getting home late. It's time to give the ol' body a break. If this article from the "sleepfoundation" hits close to home, maybe you should hit the sack too.

Who I am

I'm Derek Chin and I'm very happy to be here. Life is a journey and an adventure, and I tend to be the "Big Picture" guy. (I ask silly questions like: "How does this help me and society in the long run?") I have lofty ideals and goals, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. This is a personal blog, so please excuse the tangents I go on, or the type of language I use once in a fucking while. I enjoy making music, doodling, and movie-hopping. Yeah I do.

What I do

XHTML/CSS/PHP/JS/MySQL/Ruby(on Rails) is the name of the game. I've had a great experience at very different companies and environments.
