A small bit about me

My first camera was a Kodak DC3400 digital camera (with 4AA batteries!). I bought it two months before I left South Korea, as I wished to keep pictures of a place I won't be returning within a few years.

After accidentally destroying the camera, I moved on to other cameras – Pentax Optio 330RS, Olympus mju 300, Panasonic FZ7 – eventually settling on a Canon 20D system I now use.

I cycled a lot when I was younger. With favourable conditions in Canada, my cycling days intensified, culminating to a 12-day solo trip around Lake Erie.

Since I moved twice to two countries in two years, I had never bothered to learn driving. After six years in Canada, I finally got my driver's license. It is hard to get back on the bicycle now that I can drive the 12km commute to work.

By writing about cycling and photography, I hope to keep my cycling days alive.

For the technically inclined

I host my videos on Vimeo and YouTube. I also have a Flickr account.

Since I'm a .NET web developer and don't want to spend more time maintaining the backend of the blog than the content, I chose to use a prebuilt blog engine.

The selection of blog engines came down to BlogEngine.NET, dasBlog, and Subtext. I chose BlogEngine.NET due to its relative maturity and simplicity. dasBlog has been around longer, but reviews point that it had gotten difficult to maintain. Subtext is still relatively new.

About

I have a natural tendency to take pictures and cycle; they had been my hobbies for years. Some people say writing what you love makes you more passionate about it. I set this site up, hoping they’re right. More about me
