On the subject of Moi:

Hello, I'm Joel Wan, currently a web developer at Critical Mass. This is my work log. This is where I document the fearsome technical challenges I encounter as a web developer and, the often formidable solutions I conceive in order to prevail and avoid torture/ridicule.

Contrary to a, dare I say the word - blog, this is a carefully crafted site focused on documenting solutions that haven't already been widely covered elsewhere. In each post, I'll try to go over the thought process behind my solution, using sketches as visual aids. Side note: Due to the rarity and irregularity of my posts, I suggest that you subscribe to my rss feed. I can also be found lurking on twitter and the POG Google Group from time to time.

After years of jotting ideas on the back of my hand, the back of co-workers' hands and an unfortunate accident which I will not get into at this time, I started carrying around a sketchbook. I use it to note down challenges I come across as a web developer. When it so happens that a page of my sketchbook contains something I deem worthy of sharing, I scan the page, and create a post around it. Yes, it's a lot of work, but someone has to do it.
