I realize it’s been slow around here. Apologies for that, but I’ve been wanting to focus my time/energies on other projects at the moment. Tonight, I spent some time getting together some Flash files for Ben, as I’m walking him through creating a dynamic XML-driven Flash photo gallery tomorrow, after work. I promise to have …
I spotted a call for entries today for the Chicago Underground Film Festival. And you knwo what the crazy thing is? I might actually submit something! I’m not sure if my current experiment will qualify, but I think it will. I think it constitutes a “short film,” or at the very least an “experimental” one. …
Attention poets from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin! Check out the Poetry Center’s 12th Annual Juried Reading and Awards. And the final judge is none other than one of my favorite poets, Billy Collins. Big thanks to Matt for hooking me up with this link. I’ll definitely be submitting some poems …
I tried to defend my possession of the Lord and Master Stein™ today for a record FIFTH time, but alas… Kashif ended up the victor. Dang! Played several games today, post-work. Chris, Justin and I ended up doing several $2 games. I won one, and Justin came in to win the last two in a …
A long, long time ago I stumbled across rachelleb.com. Her blog is one of the few out there that updates on a daily basis, and she lives not too far from where I’m at. It’s interesting to see another blogger go about documenting their life on-line, especially someone in such close proximity. It’s rare, too, …
Played a bit of poker after work today, with Ben and Chris. And guess what? Yours truly became the first successful FOUR TIME defending champion of the Lord and Master Stein™. At the end, it was me and Ben going heads-up. In two instances today, he took a bad beat when he clearly should have …
The CD’s that I ordered arrived today! I’m a little miffed it took over two weeks for them to get here, but whatever. I was pretty excited to get these guys, as I’ve been checking my work mailbox daily. I haven’t had much of a chance to give these CD’s a listen, but I’ll let …
Well, that was definitely an experience. I was pretty nervous the whole time, and ended up chewing gum like a madman. Towards the end of the game there, my jaw started hurting because I was just chomping away like a starving cow. I didn’t touch any booze, and so all I really had was the …
I don’t know whether it will bring me good or bad luck (since I’m doing this on the Chinese New Year), but I’m headed to enter a Texas Holdem tournament in a few hours. I’m pretty excited, and fairly hopeful. I plan to be patient and play smart. But, well… I’m guessing the other 99 …
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
