Bad Hair Cut

I got a really short haircut. I look stupid.

So shameful...

No. Really.

Rich and I discovered that my mood is partially based on how awesome my hair looks. One time, I was like... semi-depressed for days/weeks. Haircut? Whammo. All was awesome.

So, things aren't gonna be awesome for a while... Sucks.

About Me

A product of Filipino Design from the Summer of '84. Grew up, graduated, and still live in the state of New Jersey. I've been blogging since August of 2000 when blogging was all the rage and Napster was hot shit.

Since '97, I've been a child of the net. I try to learn as much as I can about stuff like technology, web design, music, a cappella, programming, design, martial arts, feng shui, taoism, psychologym artificial intelligence, gaming, podcasting... Anything cool, I'm there. And usually online.

I spend most of my hours at or commuting to IgoUgo as a web designer/developer. Since March 2005, I've helped design the Switzerland Travel Community and a random assortment of IgoU-things...

While I'm not as established as some other developers and designers in the world out there, I do have plenty ideas. Just never enough time, haha... Two main projects that are on my radar are a (scripting) language shoot out and a blog/wiki hybrid written in Rails.

I believe in minimalism and the power of knowledge and accessibility. All that and laziness, impatience, and hubris. And I'm an INTJ.
