Most of the work I’ve been doing at Google has been been on my specific project ( http://mail.google.com/mail/#contacts ).
Now that I’m getting more comfortable with the environment, I’ve been able to branch out a little bit, and one of the results is that I made my first change to google’s open-source javascript library recently: http://code.google.com/p/closure-library/source/detail?r=167

shorewall & policy based routing
I switched over to comcast internet, which has proved to be significantly faster than the DSL connection I was on. One questionable result of the move is that I’m not totally happy with the way Comcast shapes internet traffic, and decided that I wanted to tunnel portions of my traffic to countries with more favorable laws.

Senior Bus Trip
The seniors in my dorm took a bus trip over that last four days. From Los Angeles we traveled north to near Reno, then went across the Sierras to the coast and came down the pacific coast highway through Big Sur. The views were amazing, and it was a great time spent with good friends.
Finishing College
I am now one final away from being done with college. It’s a strange feeling.

Flight sucked – sat in pain with a migraine between Cleveland and Syracuse – it let up about when we landed, and I’m blaming it [...]
End of Break
I’m heading back to California this weekend to start my last semester of college. I’ll start hearing from graduate programs next month, and by mid march I’ll have to make a choice about what I’m doing next in life.
It’s going to be both a challenging and interesting semester. Challenging because Chinese is going [...]
2009, the christmas card edition
2009 was another great year for me. I came back to the states from my semester abroad in China just after the new year, went back to China for the summer, and had two amazing semesters at Harvey Mudd.
My spring was very busy mostly because of classes in Algorithms and Galois Theory, both of which [...]
