Happy new years

Did a proper cleaning yesterday, and a little praying to my ancestors and pasted away loved ones, so lets hope for some serious luck this year. I already feel better this year. Seriously! Chuc mung Nam moi!

Ethox international

I'm am working on an interview with this company Ethox in hopes for a position as a bench scientist/marketer/sales person. I've interviewed with them several times and the company seems like a great place to start working for. I have been insearch of other positions as well. In terms of career fairs there is a fair for pharmeucuetical sales people in Rochester, then a biospace career fair in a week in boston. So I have a very busy next few weeks. In addition to my completion of my thesis which is aboutn 40% complete. So working on it and cranking out the work is tough but I hope to be employed and ready to contribute to the world soon.

As for my latest tech review look back in next few week for reviews of the PS3, Wii, Apple Macbook (Santa Rosa), Best skin ever (for the iphone), Speck case for the macbook, and many other tech reviews new and old.

Finally I have begun contributing to a new wikibook in Metabolomics so please check it out and let me know how its doing!

My proteomics thesis and other sites im associated with.

If you have not found my proteomics thesis you can head to here. This is an online wikibook that I managed and developed from inception to present. So far its been very well received. Proteomics Wikibook

In addition here is my short profile that can be found during my undergraduate years at Clarkson University.Clarkson University

Jawbone and life throws you a curve ball.

First a short review on the Jawbone. Coming from a motorola HS500 just about anything would have done better. The HS500 looked great, and worked adequately, but fell apart on me, the glue actually came apart leaving me with a pile of parts. So I turned to the highest rated bluetooth headset out there. The Jawbone. First what can I say about this thing that doesn't rock? Works great, clear hearing, style up the waah zooh, and makes me cooler by association. Now for the bad. The headset definitely doesn't like smaller asian ears, in addition the call quality can be a bit spotty, people on the other end sometimes have trouble hearing me. This could have been due to reception, so it may well not be the jawbone. Battery life worked for about 3-4 hours of talk time, and over a day of standby time which pleased me. Overall I recommend this headset to anybody looking to have the best bluetooth headset out there.

On life notes. My iphone screen CRACKED!!! I went to apple to try to get it replaced and they wanted to gouge me for 250 + tax. So the smart guy that I am decided to sell the broken phone on ebay for $260 and get a brand new iphone for about 150. Not bad.

Finally my condolences go out to Rachel and Jordan. Their mom LeeAnn passed away after a fall down the stairs. I was actually their trying to do whatever I could to save her life, but the damage to her head was way too severe. This death has brought back some serious demons in me that I have to face again. But i know what its like, and its not easy, no other way to put it.

I just got on Twitter. Lets try this out....

My twitter link!

Hmmmm. I think im going to make this blog into something useful.

Considering half the time I'm getting new electronics and half the time im working and searching for a job, perhaps I need to make this blog into a normal college consumer review page. Blogging on both electronics and new toys that I find, in addition to job hunting and crazy things that I amy encounter. In addition to maybe blogging about stupid news these day....

Go Barack!

So if i were to start a review I would say don't buy these damn headphones!



The V-moda headphones with call button. I thought these tings we all the rage for my iphone. Built in call button, good quaility, nice features. And coming from some shures, and lower end Sony Ex-71 these were nice. Until the damn call button separated on me! I have had these headphone for less then 3 months and they have already broke. No I don't wrap them tightly and pull on them like crazy. I keep them in their nice little leather case (Which is the best headphone case I've ever had) and do the little headphone wrap thing. Like shown here.



And yet they still separated that the call button. The glue came apart then the wires broke off. I spent a good 30 mins trying to solder it back together until I burned my fingers and gave up in frustration. If I were to recommend headphones to a iphone user I would just go with the normal V-modas, with no call button and just get a bluetooth headset like the Jawbone (which I will review next time!)

New Year = a New hope?

2007 was probably the worst year of my life. But hopefully things will be good this year, I am hoping for a chance to get an interview with wyeth for a pharm rep in Rochester. In addition the possibility of San Fran is up in the air since I will be attending a career fair in San fran in february. I am shooting for rochester, san diego, san fran, and boston.

Finally I pick up a snowboard and got my ass handed to me today. Still pretty fun, hopefully I get better at it.

I also purchased a PS3. Now what I don't like so far is one the freaking patch not being released by Rock band to play their game with guitar hero guitars. I am pissed. I want to play Rock band just solo, and use my guitar hero guitar like xbox 360 users but can't. Its very annoying. Why does Activision have to be a pain in everyones ass in this thing? Why did they block the patch? Its pretty dumb to me.

I have been playing GH3 a ton, Persona 3 a lot, and downloaded tekken 5 and castlevania. Overall I loved the wii, but the PS3 is a much better system for me.

Lets all pray that 1) Tung gets a job....... and well 1) Tung gets a job. The new year ought to bring more to me then sadness, financial constraints ,and drama. I need none of those a ton of happiness, jobbyness, and love. I hoping to mend a lot of broken bonds this year.
