Mobtropolis!

"Mobtropolis helps you adventure life purposefully. The world is full of experience and adventure, disguised in the everyday and most of use don't take advantage of it. At its core, it's a social photo scavenger hunt that uses social pressure to do what you've always wanted to do and discover all that you haven't." TaiwaneseAmerican.org's very own blogger and designer of the "I wear bubble tees" shirt, William Chung, is featured on a video clip for Chicago TV Station WCIU: The U! He is the creator and founder of Mobtropolis.com - a new take on social networking, gaming, and interactive mobility! Check out the website at www.wciu.com and click on "play" to hear him talk about his latest project! After graduating from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne as an electrical engineer in 2001, Wil went to work for JHU/APL, and worked on sensor networks, spacecraft telemetry, embedded programming, radar modeling, ship logging software, and biomedical imaging. In 2005 he obtained a Masters in computer science at Johns Hopkins. Shortly after, he left APL to start 3cglabs, a software startup. On the side, he helps run ChicagoRuby.org and the WindyCityRails Conference and participates in contributing to open source software. He keeps a technical blog at webjazz.blogspot.com. On every odd year, he is involved with Taiwanese American summer conferences, TAF and TANG, as a counselor, technical consultant, or program director. Though not a designer, he takes interest in aesthetics and simplicity. Decentralized concepts in emergent systems and programming languages are an endless fascination for him, as well as ubiquitous computing applications through ever more powerful mobile devices.

Introducing Jenton Lee and "Life in Shorthand."

Jenton has been surrounded by music all his life. Drawing on his classical background and the fact that his parents took him to see so many Broadway musicals, Jenton writes songs that tell a story, both lyrically and musically. Driven primarily by acoustic guitar, Jenton draws from his daily ups and downs as a UCLA student as inspiration for his music. Jenton has also just released a full-length independently produced CD called Life in Shorthand! TaiwaneseAmerican.org is proud to offer an autographed copy to one of our readers. *EDIT* Congratulations to William B. of Berkeley, CA for winning the CD!
