Simple Stock Quotes
A Facebook Platform Application
I signed onto the new Facebook F8 Platform on Weekend launch and excitedly browsed the application directory. Out of 100 applications, one of them was stock-related, but it didn't do quotes and just spammed links. So, that weekend I remedied the situation with my own application.
The application uses PHP, mock-AJAX, FBML, Yahoo™ web services, and a customize high-performance hacked version of the Facebook client to push updates to over 3600 users and 3000 tickers in less than a minute.

Photography
An amateur's digital photography
I love taking photos. For the past six years I've been taking artistic license and experimenting with digital photography. I use Photoshop for post-processing and colour-correction where needed. I've only owned a handful of low-end consumer cameras (Canon SD950 and S3 IS, Sony DSC-P200), so I try to get the most out of them.
Photos have been featured in college newspapers and online guides. If you're interested in using one of my photos, please contact me!

Early posts on my blog evoked life as a college student, personal preferences, and the frustrations of web technology. Then people actually started reading it.
Now I write about Asia, Books, Celebs, Cornell, and Gossip, across a network of blogs that include guest writers on Gadgets, Video Games, and TV Scams. On my personal blog, I mostly cover technology, from Wordpress to PHP and Apple.
