Life Hacking

I just realized I utterly hack my life. no mercy.

The definition of hacking your life is pretty broad, but in my case I force action as a way of sticking to goals. It definitely takes a bit of creativity and discipline, but it works for me. In my opinion, the key to hacking your life requires you to understand thee-self.
Hmmm. I guess it's not easy to convey the concept to those who don't write code and may not understand the true definition of the word 'hacking'. But I suppose a subset of 'life hacking' can also be stated as exploiting ones weaknesses to increase productivity.
An example hack of mine to remember something for the next day is to put an out of place object (like a cup) in front of my bedroom door before I goto bed. The next morning I'll remember that something when I see the cup.

So the above example is a small hack. But imagine many hacks of various size to ones life...

EAG Demo

Ok. So Adi, Gary, and I are forming a band. We're the typical Wednesday comebys around 8:30pm at Presidents Piano. I've decided to post our 2nd end of day recording for comments. Yes, we suck, and yes, we need a vocalist.

Part 2 of this set is here. I've yet to spend enough time with them to find out which I like more (if I do that is).


I finally understand why flash sucks. I should begin count on how long it'll take for me to find the time and include this new piece at erikchan.com

Perseverance

It's tough on the mind to fail repeatedly... i wonder if i'll ever give up.

Chanel Mobile Art Exhibition

Sam and I checked out the Chanel mobile art show earlier today.

The exhibition stops by Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York, London, Moscow, and Paris (Hong Kong being the first stop). I would strongly suggest anybody with interest in interactive art to check it out -it is cooool.

The show lasts around 45mins and is accompanied by a recorded narrator (over headphones). The production values are super duper high. Check out the website and you'll see what I mean.
