It’s taken me quite some time to write this, so here it goes: They say that death is just part of life. I have seen more than my fair share of deaths, but never had I experienced it in my own family. This past Sunday marked five months since my family and I laid my…
There are few things that give greater satisfaction than seeing something you’ve designed or planned come to fruition. Even more so if those plans are executed with hardly any glitches. Over the past few months, I’ve been able to complete a few tech projects that I had been planning for a while now. Building a…
I previously promised to show how I made the time-lapse video of me installing an IKEA floor, so I figured it was time for me to keep my promise. An intervalometer is basically a device that keeps track of intervals of time, just like a speedometer keeps track of speed and a thermometer keeps track…
I can’t claim to know much about how the Internet works. Every time I research the subject, I come across new complexities that have always been there but I never knew existed. I’m just glad that there were (and still are) a few geniuses that were astute enough to put all these technologies together to…
Yet another year has elapsed and yet another year commences. Congratulations on surviving yet another dizzying revolution around our bright star! All joking aside, I’d like to wish everyone great happiness and peace in this new year. May it be replete with a myriad of opportunities for you to smile. The family and I celebrated…

This past September I began a journey that would lead me to an alliance with the Big Orange Box and with Lowe’s, said box’s archenemy. I had a bit of money saved up from working during the summer, so after doing tons and tons of “research” both online and off, I decided to spruce up…
I recently found this little composition that I wrote back in August about my last day of work at PlanetBravo in Redondo Beach. Just thought I’d share. August 15, 2008 Today was the last of day of TechnoTainment Camp at PlanetBravo in the South Bay. It was the conclusion of six weeks of battling with…
It’s been a little more than two months since my last post; I’ve been doing so much I haven’t had much time to do anything else! Most of my summer time was spent working in Redondo Beach at a technology summer camp for kids called PlanetBravo as a Programmer Counselor. I basically taught kids how…
I was watching the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (Episode 3573) a little while ago when I came across a funny surprise. Jay was doing a segment called Celebrity Cloning Experiments Gone Horribly Wrong, or something to that effect, where he showed a picture of a celebrity or famous cartoon and then showed people (unsuspecting…
