"Defender of Truth,
Champion of Justice,
and All-around Nice Guy."

all me Steven. Some years ago, nevermind how long exactly, I arrived as a second son to a set of proud parents. If this sounds like Moby Dick to you, then let me assure you, I have no intention of finding a ship to hunt a whale. But I digress. Brought up in Taiwan until the tender age of seven, my whole family migrated south to the tropical islands of the Philippines. There we made our home, and lived some fifteen years. Here's a picture of Mom and me when I was around six years old.

thus became quite fluently bilingual. As I love to read, the poetry of the Tang Dynasty, the Arabian Nights - quite naturally, the children's version, and a host of other stories somewhat fulfilled the Wen in my name which means 'Literature'.

class in grade seven was to set the course of my life. I dove right into the marvel that was a computer. Four years later, I entered the University of the Philippines with that as my major, and very likely my career.

had found talent in me that draws me to the art and science of computing, and unabashedly, knew I was quite good at it. Was also in College when I met her - and I she met. In a whirlwind of happiness and peace three years and running, a woman has become the most important part of my life, effortlessly defeating my hobbies of old with her love.

eeking a career more ideal, and higher paying to be blunt, I enrolled in the Cornell University graduate program. Thus far, I have been rewarded with almost everything I have ever wanted and worked for. I am a lucky man."

Welcome to my home page. To segregate myself from your everyday geek, I'd like to think I'm a man of many interests. Aside from actually writing a C program, here's what I'd happily do in my spare time:

Read anything from Calvin and Hobbes to Unix Network Programming;
Internet Relay Chat - I can generally be found as steven on LinuxNet;
Building Lego® things (Of course I'm just practicing object-oriented design!);
Building plastic models of weapons of war;
Watching suspense-thriller films;
Listening to the music of Sting, U2, and many others;
Watch Sesame Street® or the Discovery Channel; and
Railroad models, when I get rich enough.

In the field of computers, I also have a rather broad spectrum of interests, though my studies have concentrated in the areas of computer graphics and networking. If you wish to be offended by some blatant self-promotion, you may want to check out my resumé. I'm also highly interested in Linux, a freely-available operating system for the Intel 80386 or compatible computer.

My Master of Engineering project is a 3-D Modeler for Blobby Models or Metaballs under the supervision of Dr. Bruce Land. I am currently involved in another course project involving a survey of techniques in modeling human faces and a resolution-independent and portable audio effects editor.
