I’ve been a smartphone user ever since I worked at Research in Motion as a coop student in 2007 and have been an app developer for over a year now.

After being involved with smartphone in one way or another for 6 years, I am going to make a confession.

While I was growing up, the society, especially my parents, always said “don’t judge a book by its cover!” which basically means don’t stereotype others.

But is that such a bad thing?

I’m going to blatantly list most of the stereotypes that you’re thinking right now.

I am an Asian male, so if I am to be stereotyped, I am smart, bad driver, eat stinky food, involved in child labor, and speaks annoying language. Yes, no, yes, no, and yes. The Asian stereotype clearly does not define me and it’s not supposed to. Stereotypes are not supposed to define individuals but a group of individuals. For example, if you have two groups of people, one white and the other Asian, it wont be long until the group of white people break out and start singing and dancing to the chicken dance while the group of Asian people yell at the children in annoying language to make the Nike shoes faster.

Don’t get me wrong, I have had really close white, brown, and black friends in the past and I know they are great individuals but that is not enough to change one’s perspective towards an entire race. This was not a hate speech, but a suggestion of a way to lead a easier and simpler life.

If you wanna achieve your dreams, you first must wake up and face the reality.

I try my best to live a busy life these days. Though I look like I’m always doing the same thing everyday, my calendar is always jam packed with errands, meetings, goals/milestones, sitting still looking like I’m doing work, and other stuff. I go through meetings and milestones pretty quickly but I have problem with completing the errands.

I had 10 or 11 things I needed to get done for last week but 6 of them are still on the list and is currently having a tea party with this weeks items. Below is the list of the abandoned tasks and my current excuse for not completing them last week (and for several days). Continue Reading »
