Nerds Just Want To Have Fun

Wow, so I’ve just been reading over my past blog entries, and I’m pretty surprised at how consistent they were!  Brought back some memories of weddings, trips, and other things I did that summer.  Good times…

Well, I guess explaining what’s been going on between then and now would be a good way to start.  Since the final days at Mosoto, which was early 2008, I tried out a few different things including iPhone application development and brainstorming countless other startup ideas.  Some of the ideas were amazing but too large of a scale at that particular point in time, while iPhone app development never really stuck with me.  Maybe someday I’ll try it again.  Just jumping between ideas and experimenting took a full year, and now I’m teamed up with Seth again on a decently sized project with pretty good potential!

Also during this time, I’ve gotten fully immersed in the world of Azeroth again.  It really is Warcrack…  Also, nerd girls are so hot.  That is all.

It’s Been a While…

Wow… It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this blog.  Ever since Mosoto and inTune.fm didn’t work out, I’ve been on blogging hiatus.  But fear not!  I’ll try to update this blog frequently and let people know what’s going on.

I’m currently working on another project with my friend/co-worker Seth from Mosoto on a new web tool for people in the micro-niche and affiliate marketing sector.  We’re pretty close to launching and we’re planning on celebrating the launch by going to watch Transformers 2 on Friday!  Can’t wait!  In the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter (username paulchung) or just check back here for updates!

More Than Meets the Eye

Lots going on in the last few weeks the most notable being:

iPhone – got one
Transformers – go see it

Have a great weekend!

The End of a Long Day

After 3 straight days of working away in the office, we finally pushed Mosoto Remix out into the public!   I’m a little too tired to explain all of it… but its definitely worth checking out.

Here are some screenies:

Try it out, and post your thoughts!  I would love to hear them.

A Challenge

When someone presents you with a goal that seems impossible…

You bear down, and make sure that you do better than the impossible.

Flasks and Cufflinks

Just got back from my friend’s wedding in Buffalo, NY.  It was pretty exciting as it was the first time I was a part of the wedding party since I was the ring boy before when I was under 3 feet tall.  One of the more surprising things is the lack of allergies I had considering that most of the time they hit me as soon as I get off the plane on the east coast.

But alas, it is back to work.  Mosoto is undergoing some major changes and continues to become a larger and larger project.  Our vision is getting bigger and more ambitious.  That’s how I like it.

Let’s Not Forget…

This weekend was Memorial Day, which is the unofficial launch of summer.  People start to head out to the beaches, fire up the grills, and soak in the sun.  However, like many of the other official holidays observed here in the U.S., the underlying reason for this chance to skip a Monday of work and cheer for a long weekend is long forgotten.   Memorial Day’s purpose is to commemorate men and women of the United States who died in military service.  We owe a lot of what we can do today to those who died both on and off the battlefield, since the war for independence to the conflicts of today.

God bless.

This Is Why I’m Hot!

With the announcement of Facebook’s F8, Mosoto’s Facebook Profile Application was also released! Using your uploaded files from Mosoto, you can pass a special media playlist to the application which can be seen by people browsing your Facebook profile. The app includes a sweet visualization for music, and also plays photos and videos. What makes this application unique is the ability for a profile viewer to interact and chat both with the owner of the application if he/she is online in Mosoto, but also with anyone else who is on the profile at the same time!

New York, New York

Seth and Girard have left for San Francisco to check out the Facebook conference. Hopefully it’s pretty cool and they get a lot out of it… I wish I could be there, even though the area around the hotel was pretty ghetto. Thinking about Larry the doorman always puts a smile on my face. He’s the guy who opens the doors for the people coming out of cabs and stuff… and he’s in this awesome suit with coattails and a top hat, and his first sentence to me was, “Are you staying at MY hotel?” Good times…

I am missing New York right now. I’m wishing I was at Shea Stadium, eating some Italian Sausage and Pepper sandwich and washing it down with a cold overpriced beer. It’s been almost a year since I was at Shea… Hopefully I get a chance to go in August, before I head to Aruba for a friend’s wedding.

Slow and Steady

We’ve been going 110% for the past week and we finally took a day to try to cool our jets before a second max burn. Hopefully all of this work pays off later on… this startup business is no easy task, but I’m sure everyone knew that already.
