I'll take you on any day!!! Sep 13, 2000

Have too much time on your hands? Get offline and go read a book. Still have WAY TOO MUCH time on your hands? Go to pogo.com and select from a variety of different games. Card games, board games, arcade('80s style) games, and puzzle games (my favorite online game)... The fun is actually when you compete against a person live! Don't believe me? Check it out!
Oh, and if you know of a better site, let me know!

Wanna be different? Sep 12, 2000

Why not start here! I do it, and I think it's the best thing since sliced (whole wheat) bread! : )

Oops, she did it again (Radiative Transitions) Sep 12, 2000

You know, I never respected this girl Britney Spears... After all, her music seems shallow, her style is questionable(among other things) and it doesn't seem like she spends much time reading... But does she? It'a easy to judge a book (or in her case, a magazine) by its cover, but I have to admit: she knows much more about electronics than I!!! : P

Itching for some secret? Sep 08, 2000

How about some secret recipes for famous drinks such as Orange Julius and Hard Rock Cafe Orange Freeze? I just found a small section at iwon.com that has these top secret recipes. But besides the "secret creations" they also have recipes of the day and a bunch of how-tos that can be useful when you decide to start using your kitchen for some actual cooking =). So check it out!

So what are you listening to? Sep 06, 2000

I've been getting bored again with all the muzak that's on the radio, my mp3 collection is getting stale, and No Doubt won't be making another album for a while... so I've basically got nothing to listen to! Have any ideas?
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.
