About

My name is Michael Zhang. This is my homepage.

I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley.

Demographically, I'm an adult conservative Christian Chinese male.

I enjoy playing sports, reading the Bible, programming, web design, spending time with family and friends, watching movies, photography, and traveling anywhere.

Bio

I was born on September 7th in Beijing, China. At the age of 2, I was moved to Davis, California and began attending Davis Chinese Christian Church.

Growing up, I played tennis, basketball, baseball, and soccer.

I attended Davis Senior High School and played tennis there for four years. After graduating, I decided to stay in my hometown for college, and began to attend Grace Valley Christian Center. Two years later, I transferred to Cal to finish my computer science degree.

Photoblog

Photoblog.com is the company I started during the last quarter of my freshman year in college, or Spring '06. It's a free photoblogging service that has even more features than my own.

PetaPixel

PetaPixel.com is a blog on general photography that I started during the last semester of my senior year of college, or Spring '09.

Photoblog

blog.michaelzhang.com is my personal photoblog. Since 2004, I've been taking photographs every single day and posting them. This is what inspired me to create Photoblog.com.

Gallery

gallery.michaelzhang.com is basically a portfolio of my favorite photographs. The collection is updated very slowly, since most of my photos are simply documentations of my everyday life, and are posted on my photoblog.

Folksonomy

folksonomy.org is my digital notepad. If I come across an interesting problem or solution in the course of my work, I'll jot it down there to help others who come after me.

Last Minute Cook on Tuesday February 2nd, 2010

We invited albert and sean over for dinner tonight, but I forgot my class ended at 6pm. I didn't have time to think of what to cook, and we weren't able to make a Safeway run until after my class. While at safeway, we bought 4 lb of chicken for less than $3, a bag of potatoes for $1, and some onions. The meal was actually pretty tasty.
