ChenZen

Found satellite images of Haiti after the earthquake through Gizmodo.  Even with all the technology we have, there is still a lot of work to do.  Even with various forms of powers of prediction, we still can’t prevent much.

So we haven’t done much recently.  At all.  We’ll try to get back to writing posts about the exciting things that are going to happen in 2010.  As a final note, I would like to mention that the way you should say “2010” is “twenty-ten.”  That is all. Thanks – hope everyone has a good [...]

So it’s certainly been a while!  Over 6 weeks really.  Wow – I’m a jerk for starting something and not seeing it through.  Well – that ends now.  School is over and I have absolutely no excuse to not update Chenzen again like I did in the past.

A trailer for the Prince of Persia movie adaptation has been released.  My initial impressions are quite positive.  So far, it looks like they have nailed the setting and feel of the game, as well as having a decent storyline set out.  However, trailers can be quite misleading. It will be interesting to see how [...]

New week, new ASOT.  From what I gathered from Twitter, seemed to be a good episode.  Let us know in the comments. Also, next week is the DJ Mag Poll results!

Armin plays us some new tracks by Arnej, Wippenberg, Sophie Sugar, First State, Ronski Speed and Daniel Kandi. Download and tracklist after the break.

Armin is back already? Thought it was two weeks, oh well, here is last week’s ASOT that I forgot to post up, tracklist and download link after the break. 

So last weekend (the weekend of the 3rd), I had an extra few days off because of the phenomenon known as Pacing Break at Lehigh University.  Basically, I get a 4-day weekend after the first set of exams here.  Anyway, I took advantage of this long break and visited Danny all the way up in [...]

Are you worried about swine flu in your area (even though you really shouldn’t be)?  Then be worried no longer cause lifehacker has found a nice flutracking web app that gives you an easy to read overview of where there are outbreaks and whatnot. 

A very monumental episode this week with Armin on vacation and deciding that Andy Moor and John O’Callaghan will take over ASOT for two weeks. 

So I haven’t had any time lately due to school and just random events, but I am still trying to make an effort to log my life in pictures.  I am taking my camera with me everywhere now, which is good, but I still miss opportunities to just snap away when I should.  I did [...]

Blockbuster is planning on closing 960 out of its 7000 stores due to those stores being unprofitable.  Expect 300 stores to be closed by the end of this year unless Blockbuster decides to redo their business model to make those stores profitable.

So when I was first entering college, I was under the impression that my grades would be determined by 1 or 2 tests in each class during the semester and nothing else.  Well – for some classes this is true, but, for the most part, your class work, homework, and the whatnot factor into your [...]

So on Sunday, I decided to delve into the secret arts of baking Apple Pie.  I didn’t expect this to be difficult in the least, so I even took the plunge to try to make 2 of them.  Oh boy, did I fail epically.  Let’s see how and where I went wrong!

So school life here at Lehigh University has started again.  This means classes have started, endless nights of parties have started (I have so much homework already), and (well at least for me) working has started again. 

WARNING: This review contains spoilers. So this movie took me by surprise when I watched it with my mother on Friday.  Everyone has been telling me how good of a movie it was, but I was still a bit skeptical.  That is, until I actually saw it.

So, exciting news: school started.  Again.  It’s funny how ever since you turn about 5 years old, you start going to school.  Then you basically stay in an institution for at least the next 12/13 years. 

So Danny and I have been working basically non-stop on ChenZen the past week or so getting the site up, writing posts, publicizing, talking to people, and trying to stabilize our server space, among many other things as well.  So I officially declare that every Saturday, starting from this Saturday, to be “material gathering day.”  [...]

So Danny took me, Riceboy0019 (Sherman), and a few other of our friends to a Japanese Buffet near Menlo Park Mall in New Jersey last night called IchiUmi (or One Ocean if I’m right).  To be honest, I wasn’t expecting too much from a buffet, but was going to try to eat more than my [...]

So Tuesday I went to a baseball game.  The game was the New York Yankees vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.  Went with three of my friends via the train to New York from New Brunswick.  One of my friends lives on the Rutgers campus, so we went to his house first and then walked over [...]

So the other night I went with Misfire and Kaisuri to 8 on the break.  This is the local arcade that is near our houses.  Actually, it’s the only arcade near our houses, but they’re usually stocked with a few of the newest games out there.  The place is kind small and the interior resembles [...]

Not usually seeking to satisfy the late-night munchies, I have finally succumbed to late night food advertisement. Last night I went to Taco Bell for my very first time, enticed by the new Volcano menu (and some late night hunger pangs). All I can say is my “Taco-ginity” was robbed of me. Last night, the [...]

So today my dad needed me at home to help him construct a new vinyl shed in the backyard.  The entire process took about all day, but it was nice to be outside in the nice weather and actually accomplish something.  The way that people manufacture “do-it-yourself” construction kits is pretty ingenious.  It’s almost like [...]
