The istartedsomething.com commandments
- I blog for fun, profit and the gals – two of which is non-existent.
- I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, unless persuaded by a lot of money (see rule #1).
- I will happily oblige to all PR filtering requests if it ends with “pretty please”.
- I try to break stories first, unless when broken by another careless blogger then I will innocently walk away and whistle.
- I never make mistakes, ever.
- I expect no one else to blog except me. It only makes sense to have a monopolistic blog writing about a monopolistic company. You don’t want to break the universe do you?
I’m a person and stuff. Mostly person, sometimes stuff. Here’s a few questions that I would ask myself if I was speaking to myself in the third person, not that I do that often, but this is what would happen if I was forced to.
What sort of jokes do you get with your name?
“Long time no see” is by far the most popular.
Tell me about yourself
I am technophobic. Technology scares me. Every time I see a computer, my legs shake. I try to avoid technology whenever possible, and I publish this very blog from a typewriter and telegraph. STOP.
Whilst in school, I’ve passed literature subjects like a plastic knife through frozen butter and didn’t really enjoy mathematics or science. Thankfully in early 2000, I stumbled across the wonderful world of graphics design and became fascinated in the creative process of Photoshop filters. Of course, any beginner web designer would tell you Geocities and Frontpage are blessing of god, and I was no different. Then over the 4 years that followed, slowly I developed the skills and techniques required to create graphics and websites professionally, or at least I think.
Besides studying, I work with a software developments firm in Sydney, as well as on other obscure web projects.
Where are you?
I live in Mulgrave, a south-east suburb of Melbourne, Australia. I was born in Tianjin, China.
What did you study?
I graduated from Monash University mid-2009 with a Bachelor Business Commerce and Bachelor of Multimedia Systems majoring in Marketing Communications and Enterprise Systems.
From 2001-2004, I went to Melbourne High School, one of the best selective government schools in Melbourne. I attended Coomoora Secondary College and Wallarano Primary School before that, which for the most part was a waste of time. Water bombs during summer were the best.

Why do you blog?
I blog because I am passionate about the technology I come across and evangelize to people. Technology is not the easiest topic to understand, especially with all the TLAs, so I’m here to read all those boring manuals, white-papers and patent applications so you don’t have to suffer.
I’m totally doing this for the money and fame. No doubt about it. I’m literally swimming in money at your expense.
