After doing a few days of research on audiophile forums, and reading across headphone reviews, I decided to get the Denon AH-D1000K headphones. http://www.head-fi.org/ does a great job on comparing the Denons to other headphones, so definitely take a look over there to make sure these are what you’re looking for. Many people might find [...]
This was shot somewhere around my neighborhood at around sunset. The original picture was horribly underexposed, however, thanks to the magic of photoshop and a few other photo editing tools, I was able to fix it up to what you see below. I could have raised the highlights and shadows a bit more, but I [...]
“I do not care what car you drive where you live, if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this years cutting edge. If your trust fund is unlimited. If you are A-list B-list or never heard of you list. I only care about the words that flutter from [...]
I just finished watching ストレンヂア 無皇刃譚 (Sword of the Stranger), which I must say, was quite well made, both in terms of animation quality, and story. The characters were surprisingly well developed, but not so much that it becomes excessive and boring. Sword of the Stranger was definitely a refreshing experience, especially after the recent [...]
Though I’ve spent nearly a year at Berkeley now, I feel that I have not done the campus justice in allowing myself to explore it. So, recently I’ve been roaming around the outer fringes of the campus, exploring new buildings (such as the East Asian Library), and dining throughout the diverse palette of food that [...]
Today, I spent a nice afternoon in the new East Asian Studies Library, and I must say, it’s really quite nice.
I’m still not sure what to make of this movie. It was definitely much different from what I expected. Instead of a high budget film with stunning CGI and a happy ending, Cloverfield almost felt cheap. However, I don’t think anyone who has seen this movie would think of it as just [...]
We set out for SF around noon, and took the F-line from Berkeley. The trip took over an hour, but was still perhaps better than taking the bart. After arriving, we had to find our way to get to Embarcadero, which pretty much involved heading North. Among the places we planned to visit were the [...]
So far, classes have been okay, despite a chronic lack of sleep (I have 8am classes Monday through Friday). They have been okay because, remarkably, I’m really enjoying what I’ve learned so far. In previous semesters, I was perhaps too busy to really enjoy learning. I put myself through an endless barrage [...]
2008 has been quite a year, and to be honest, I am quite glad it is over. I began the year with a bright outlook and spent the first half with the good company of APATH. My summer continued from the momentum gained from the spring semester, and I found it to be one of [...]
Here are some photos taken with my Canon SD750 from my dorm room window. I liked the lighting at that particular time of the day, so I thought I’d share it. These two were both edited to enhance the tonal ranges, since the original exposures were a bit dark. The enhanced photos are actually closer [...]
