Portfolio!

I’ve finally put my portfolio up, since I’m looking for a team to join after I graduate.

I’ve also been adding more photos, and put up a new theme, too! Fun fun fun (’till my daddy takes my t-bird away)…

Summer Internship

I’m working at Venrock over the summer. As Wikipedia explains:

Venrock, a compound of “Venture” and “Rockefeller”, is a pioneering venture capital firm formed in 1969 to build upon the successful investing activities of the Rockefeller family [...] Venrock focuses its investments on early-stage and start-up companies in information technology and emerging technologies.

So why is an HCI guy working at a VC firm? Well, I’m an intern here, and I can’t say much more than that!

One downer is that the office I’m working at is in Redwood City. I had planned to ride to work everyday, because I thought I’d be at an office close to campus. I might have found a decent solution, though! A combination of CalTrain and riding my bike look like a reasonable alternative to driving (and about the same cost per trip). I’ll give that a try in the next week or so.

News coverage on the Stanford Facebook Class (which I’m TAing)

A TV news crew came and did a short segment on our class.

If you’re more technically inclined, or want to know more, you can go read the course website. Try either the Press page, or the Course Overview.

But, if you’re not even sure what Facebook is, the video’s the best place to start!
