Sullen Lean

Photography 110: Portraits Project ID: 3 Title: Sullen Lean Subject: Lisa Ngov Location: Flourtown, PA Comments: This is the 8th-10th print I did of the picture. I used an FStop of 8 for 5 seconds on the face, and burned all the surrounding areas at a setting of 5.6 for 15 seconds.

Young Professional

Photography 110: Portraits Project ID: 1Title: Young ProfessionalSubject: Lisa NgovLocation: Center City, PhiladelphiaComments: It took at least six prints to get the photograph to this state, which is still not perfect. The picture has a dark blotch on the right side. I had to burn the sky in, but had problems simultaneously dodging the blotchy […]

Free Game, Neverball. Anyone watch the Men’s Gymnastics All Around Competition? Paul Hamm…. WOAH!

Graduating in Toronto

He was Caesar, and we, his faithful mob. We lifted him onto our shoulders, chanting his name with steely purpose. “Colland! Colland!” I screamed, my voice falling apart like brittle crust. Still, I mustered a last cry, “Colland!” as my larynx melted. I was a clown, adorned in bright, heart-speckled genie-pants, with hair like Don […]

Formal Pics

Yawn, more writing. Leave comments if you’re feelin’ me. If not, go read about someone’s day. Because I know you don’t like reading, here are a few pics, IM me if you want the originals I scanned.

Yet a Daisy, Dreaming of Death

I teetered on the edge of a precipice so elevated that winds buffeted my hair and almost ripped my clothes off. I wore soft cotton pajamas, the kind with the detachable behind. My collar, loosely buttoned, snapped and whipped off my body. Were my clothes trying to escape the height? Jesters with rainbow hats grinned […]

Brutus

Another creative writing piece, this one is freshly typed, no editing, etcetera. Leave suggestions if you want, I may not listen to them (since this won’t be graded harshly). Their eyes fell on him like the daggers they withdrew from hidden folds of their tunics. The Liberators waited for Caesar to turn his back, delivering […]

Thirteen (Java)

I wrote this Java application for our CS GUI class. The class was pretty easy, but probably because I had been doing GUI-based programming since my last co-op at Duane Morris programming with Delphi. To see the program in action without downloading the file, see the videos below: ~1 min, Full Annotations ~20sec, No annotations […]

Observation

Although I promised Lisa that I would be asleep by 4am every night, I’m not the best at keeping that particular pledge. I have a moderate case of the thinks-too-muches. Every day, I log onto Xanga, and read. My eyes scan each and every new entry on my subscriptions list, searching for something to comment […]

News (Slashdot.org): Sharp produces new 3D Monitor The First Solar Sail Deployed Not that you care, Fall 2004: And my quest to complete every CS concentration continues: Two concentrations completed after this term, YAY! Above, Applied Symbolic Computation [Starting the Numerical and Scientific Computation Track] Computer Networks [Finishing the OS Track, upping the concentrations to […]

The Tool of Language

When you read my writing you may believe I am using too many big words, and therefore are unjustly limiting my audience. If you believe this is the case, then I have a few (hopefully) insightful words for you. <br /> Language is a tool by which we communicate with others. The expression of complex […]

My Mother and I

My mother’s brows were tattooed above her eyes in broad black strokes. In my salad days, when she was my greatest love, I thought her lips were tattoos as well those rigid pink strips as they were locked in a perpetual frown. It was only in recent years that smiles were no longer strangers; for […]
