Absolut by Stevo & Fran Oct 02, 2008

Congratulations to Stevo on getting his work highlighted on the Absolut channel. I wish someone would've told me about that copier's capabilities sooner. (I used to work there)

Charm's first migraine headache

I'm sure migraines are no joke, but it's funny when Charmaine gets dramatic.

Blindfold Chess Sep 30, 2008

There are people who play multiple games simultaneously while blindfolded!  I've always loved chess, but never enough to buy a chess-related book.  This might be the first.

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.
