Work

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank; she has the title, and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the blonde returns and repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely; but we are a little puzzled. We checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is - why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The blond replies....."Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

I Was given a code challenge to make a Rock-Paper-Scissors game for an interview.
But I have quite a few friends watch Big Bang Theory. So I made this…

Sinatra and Heroku is a speed web app deploy combination. It took me longer to crop and process the images.

Here’s the link, so check it out:

My favorite piece of remix dance video: Al Minns & Leon James Charleston Style + Daft Punk ‘Around the world’

The title text is the “meat” for me while reading XKCD comics. But the drawback is you have to hover over the comic to have the title text show up.

So my buddy and I made this 30 lines little app using Sintra, Haml, Mechanize, and RSpec in two hours. Thanks to Heroku so that we could deploy the app in a blink of eyes.

Feel free to clone the app at

Finally put my old Cool Master 690 case to use again, built this monster in the past week.Here are the specs:

Case: Cool Master cm690

CPU: i7 860

CPU Fan: Cool Master V8

Motherboard: Gigabyte P55A-UD3

Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5870

Power Supply: Corsair TX 750w

Memory: ADATA DDR3 4GB (2x2)

It was not a pleasant course building this thing. CPU slot on the MB had a pin bent, had to use a toothpick to adjust it carefully, and that was after I put almost everything together. Then the memory sticks error out several times, planning to replace it with newegg. But it’s up and running very well. Running Dragon Age is absolutely amazing.
