Once again, it's been ages since I did anything with this page. So here
are my pictures on flickr.
Cutest babies ever!!!!
Here is
I figured, since we're having babies, I'd
document the process, not that anyone else would be interested.
Well, it's been a while since I updated this web page (2 years?), so I thought I
should do something. Here's my pride and joy:
It's a Bottlehead
Foreplay
pre-amp. It's a kit that uses two 12AU7 tubes. Built it myself, and it
sounds great. My next project will be a pair of
DIY Horn
speakers.
One of these days I might build their Parabee mono-block
power amps. 8 watts of pure single ended triode power.
Here's my entire audio/video system:
Need a little bed time reading?
Check
this out. Chicks dig it.
Here's my web page at work
(sorry, but our web server is down. we'll get it up one of these days).
A lot has happened recently. We've moved to Bethesda, Maryland.
Lynne will be a fellow at NIH and I'll be working at the National
Library of Medicine. We've got a new house (I'll post pictures
later). We've got DSL. Here's an initial web page on
our iMac at home.
Chen Wins! Chen Shui-bian of the Democratic Progressive Party
was elected president of Taiwan! My folks were back there
campaigning for him.
I just got back from the annual Chen Family Christmas vacation.
This year we went to the Greek Isles. Here are the
copious pictures
I took with my digital camera.
Here are a couple cool news things:
Ladka's company to do
"What Dreams May Come"-like effects, and
Tector's upcoming game Galleon.
My parents and I went white
water rafting down the Salmon
river in Idaho. It was awesome.
Here are some picture from
Siggraph 99 in LA.
I've improved my cd web page and added a dvd page.
I'm so excited! My brother has put up a web server for
chen.net. Here's
my page over there.
It's official. I'm hitched. Here's a
web page about it,
and here are some
pictures from our digital camera.
Well kids, the big news is that
Lynne
and I are getting hitched. April 10th 1999, 4 pm,
Newport Presbyterian in
Bellevue, WA. Be there or be square, baby!
Hey Kids! Guess what? There's a "David Chen Restaurant".
Woo woo!!! It's official. I'm a Doctor of Philosophy. I got
the piece of paper and the funny outfit.
Go ahead. Ask me about Nietzsche.
Just got back from lovely Milpitas, CA. Sorry, ladies,
but Huboo is officially
off the market
(unless they have some sort of open marriage).
Hub's friend Alex has made a nice
web page about
the wedding.
Well, I've made it to Houston. After a mad dash
from Chapel Hill, I arrived last Sunday and started
work Monday
at the University
of Houston in the
Virtual Environment Technology Lab.
Here's my VETL web page.
Lynne has been working like crazy in
her residency at the
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
Boy am I glad I didn't do the standard Taiwanese thing of becoming a doctor.
I'd just like to say that "ECONO LUBE SUCKS!".
Lynne took her car there to get the oil changed. In the process
they forgot to replace a gasket. Five miles down the road the
engine dies, bereft of oil. It needs a brand new engine.

and I made a stereo pair of images of myself. You can fuse
them by crossing your eyes.

Dave. Graduating. Yeah right. To prove it, I've made a web page
about my dissertation.
Ok, that was a joke. Here's the real thing:
an html version of my dissertation.
Well, I'm starting to get more serious about life. I'm getting close
to graduation (who would've believed it), I've gotten engaged, I've started
to consider Minoxidil or hair implants. Ok, maybe not the last one.
Anyways, I have started thinking about finding a job. Therefore, I've
made a HTML version of
my resume.
Check it out. Judge me.
This
letter
to the editors of the Daily Tar Heel is my greatest accomplishment
as a graduate student at Carolina. It's in response to a
previous letter.
Are you ready for the future? Find out what lays ahead in
The Year 2000!!!
I'm jazzed! I shot a 43 playing 9 holes at
Twin Lakes.
Here's a picture of me
teeing off, driving the ball 350 yards. If anybody out there can
get me on the Governer's Club or Chapel Hill Country Club courses, I'd
be so grateful.
It's new picture time. Mmmmm, Claire Danes.
I'm just goofing with a web document. Another off-ramp of the
Information Super-Highway (tm). Another waste of precious
Internet bandwidth.
Stuff I've Done
Here's my
Tar Heel Web Page. Go Tar Heels! Tell me what you think.
I used to work on the Ultrasound
Project with my buddy, Andrei. Ah the memories.
Stuff I've Seen
Sports
For all you sports junkies out there, the coolest thing I've seen is the
ESPN.
They've got stats and information for all the major sports, including
college basketball and football.
The San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner has a site called
The Gate. Read the Chronicle. I
always hated the Examiner because William Randolph Hearst the 2nd's
columns used to piss me off.
The Daily Tar Heel is
now on-line too.
Now you can get Woody Durham's broadcasts of
Carolina football and
basketball on the Internet.
When it comes to playing sports, I used to live for volleyball. Here are some v-ball
links:
Carolina Volleyball,
Volleyball Worldwide
and
Div. I College Volleyball Update.
Recently I've taken up the game of golf. In fact it consumes
my every waking moment. Here are the place's I've played:
Finley
(UNC's course and my home course),
The Pit near Pinehurst (man was
that a tough course. we got our butts kicked.),
The Legends
(Parkland and Heathland courses) and
Wild Wing (Avocet course), both
at Myrtle Beach. This Christmas we went to Kauai, where I had the
chance to play two great courses
Princeville (the Prince course) and
Poipu Bay (site of the
PGA Grand Slam of Golf).
Here are some good web sites:
GolfWeb,
Thor's Golf Links,
and
Tiger Watch.
People
Here are some pages of some friends and relatives:
Hubert Chen
(my brother),
Ed Chen (my cousin),
Ed
and Hannah
Hong
(more cousins) [Hannah is loopy about 'N Sync. Don't ask me.],
Dave Banks (former UNC
Graphics Geek),
Andrew and
Ruth Andersaur
(former UNC undergrads).
Here's
Andy,
Squishy
and
Gillam.
Crad-man,
your wish is my command.
Cindy has some cool pictures on her page.
Andrei used to be
in the Luftwaffe. He dived bombed the Communists in Spain
in his Stuka.
Ya know, I've got a lot of other friends with web pages, but through the
miracle of firewalls, nobody's ever going to see them.
Music
If you're into the Chapel Hill music scene, here are some things that might
interest you.
WXYC Chapel Hill is now
on the infobahn, and they now broadcast over the internet. Check out the
web page for information and software on how to receive their signal.
The other college radio station around here is
WXDU,
Duke's station.
Here is
Wifflefist, which is sort of a record label
(and sort of not).
Some of my favorite musicians and bands are:
Seam,
Superchunk,
Squirrel Nut Zippers,
Gumption,
The Beatles,
Suzanne Vega
and
Velocity Girl.
Here's an excerpt from
Superchunk's video.
News and Information
The stuff out on the web I use the most are news and information sites.
Here are the main ones I like.
CNN Interactive is and up-to-the-minute
news site.
USA Today is McPaper's home
page.
The Wall Street Journal's Page was
cool, but now it requires money, and as anyone on the Internet can tell you,
paying for things is uncool.
The New York Times is all
the news that'll fit in my pants. You have to register there, but it's
worth it.
For a good time, read
Dave Barry.
Schools
For any Cal alums out there the
Cal Atheletics page
got all sorts of up-to-date on Cal Bears sports.
Here's the
CAL Berkeley home page,
and the
CS Dept.
The
Daily Cal is on-line
now too.
If you want info on
the University of North Carolina or
our little home of
CS geeks here in Blue Heaven,
click it, baby. Here's the current weather in
Chapel Hill.
I just found my high school's web page, so here it is:
Charles Wright Academy.
Seattle
Here are some geographic web pages. There are two about my home town,
Seattle. One's
Emerald City
directory,
a listing of every conceivable web page in Seattle, and other is the
Seattle Web Server at U Dub.
To find out what's happening in Seattle check out
Seattle Hometown News.
Seattle's baseball team has a
Mariners page.
Here's the
current weather.
You probably already knew this, but these days on the web you can
find several cool map servers. You can type in an address anywhere
and get a map to it. Here's a map of
my place and
my parent's house.
The Wild and the Wacky
Not satisfied with the quantity or quality of your bull's semen?
Then check out the Dummy Cow!
Interested in a little backyard
barbecue?
Learn all about the joys of
Olestra.
Here's a web page that
translates any other web page
into Jive or Pig Latin or whatever. I've been living in the South
for 10 years now, so here's a web site near and dear to my heart:
Great Mobile Homes of Mississippi.
Misc
The Internet Movie Database
let's you query its database about any movie every made by anybody. It's way
cool.
And finally, let me just say that I'm navigating the Information
Super-Highway (tm), and I'm not wearing any pants. This is the
wrong
exit of the ISH.
