Website changes coming again? Aug 23, 2000

As you can see, I've been posting regularly on my blog. As I've been doing my daily thing, it's become painfully clear that this software needs a overhaul. So I've been working hard to update everything in the backend, and it's coming along slowly. So pardon the dust and fewer posts for the next week or so....

However, you never know with me.

Do you feel like Colombian tonite? Aug 22, 2000

Hi guys, recently my friends and I had a get-together for a friend who's leaving to Berkeley, so we decided to go for something different - Colombian food. The restaurant we went to happened to be owned by the stepmom of my friend, so good service was expected =) Anyways, The Golden Maize, located on 264 N. Glassell St. in Orange, serves homemade cuisine of South America (you can say homemade again 'coz all the food are prepared by her step grandmother). It's a small, cozy restaurant that looks like a Victorian-style house from the outside.

Something we don't do enough of... Aug 21, 2000

How many times do you overlook what God has done for you? Or if you DO remember it, how often do you share it with your friends and family? I know I sure don't do it enough. So here's a chance to share your blessings... ...
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.
