Well, at my hundredth post, I've decided to stay. I like everyone and the sense of community the site offers. I was initially drawn here by the Kung Fool Disguise, Inc. campaign off a blog (I can't remember which one). After browsing the forums for a while I registered. That really was the main selling factor.

I'm 25, Chinese-Filipino, born and raised in New Jersey by my parents, first-generation immigrants from the Philippines. They got out the day before Marcos declared martial law. By day I'm a software/web consultant and by night... well, I work better at night actually. Politically I'm a civil libertarian, socially slightly left-of-center, fiscally conservative, and ecologically optimistic. I read the Constitution as an originalist. On the average, that comes out as centrist.

I tend to roll my eyes a lot.

Currently I am wasting my time on a Rubik's Cube, micro RC (Microsizers and Mini-Z), sequencers and synthesizers. And of course, yellowworld. =)

Yay! East Coast represent. Word. =)

Janet, one of my friends did a CS/Philosophy major and minor, and I did CIS/Literature. Fun to be well-rounded, eh? Looking forward to your questions. =)

Thanks everyone!

Uh oh, Jersey people getting a little conceited now, huh. Time for the REAL Mob to come down from NY and put 'em back to place.

unless there's a transit strike. then it's gonna be hard to get down. :(
