I know, I know. I'm not really using this blog to write about thoughts, but really just posting up random videos and links. ... I'll do more thinking later.
So someone asked me who that guy in the corner of my page is. I never gave him a proper introduction. ... His name is Billy. He's a character created by Don Hertzfeldt in one of my favourite animation shorts:

--- I pi with my little eye ---
The next time you're trying to hit on that cute computer programmer and can't find that opening line... .... Just ask him/her what they're doing on Pi Approximation Day.
When you click the above link, you'll notice that there are 3 pictures on the side showing the ceremonial eating of pie on Pi Day at the three nerdiest institutes in the galaxy. ... They are: MIT, the Exploratorium... ... and the University of Waterloo!!
*HIGH FIVE!!*

--- Spring cleaning ---
Time for a bit of dusting... I've updated the links. I removed links of blogs that are now dead and I've added Saima's blog to the list! ... You might say part of why this blog got re-started at this particular moment was cause me and Saima made a "let's fire up our blogs" pact. ... Is that nerdy? Yes. Absolutely. ... But she's the one who started up a facebook video game group! (Which I will join, whole-heartedly)
I've also updated the pictures section to include pictures from my (sorta) recent trips to Cape Cod, NYC, San Francisco, LA and Coachella. Why don't I put these pictures up on facebook? ... Good question. ... Not that many of you will notice (or care?), but to date, I have not posted a single picture on facebook, save my profile picture. I thought I was being all smart when I did this cause I initially wanted to remain anonymous on what I thought was just another useless friendster/AA online community crap-pot ... ... But then I didn't know about the TAGGING feature. ... So. The rest is history. There's probably more drunken pictures of my face on Facebook than there are on this website. ... Irony's a bitch, but oh! how I love her.

--- Facebook killed the blog-star ---
...and so I make my less-than-triumphant return to the blog world! The 3 month gap in blogging was due mainly to 2 factors:
1. My webspace expired and I had to get some new space. (Yes, yes, I know... jay-ahn.com is both a weak and narcissistic name for a website ... I really couldn't think of anything else and I actually bought this webspace and chose my domain name while drunk. ... That's not a joke; I was hammered while dishing out my credit card online!) 2. Facebook. About the time my webspace went under, facebook EXPLODED. I have a feeling this site isn't going to get a whole lot of love. ... But how can I compete with tagging and graffiti? ...
So. Welcome back everyone! ... I hope the 6 of you enjoy the re-birth of my site.
