College is full of temptations, including, but not limited to credit cards, alcohol, study drugs (and otherwise), and frat parties on weekdays. Why complicate that with an unhealthy life otherwise?

Dear Future Intern,
Welcome! You just got an internship at this amazing start-up, so you're starting to look for housing and are getting pumped for your summer. Rightfully so - the Bay Area is awesome!
I spent my last two summers out here as an intern, first at Facebook and (am currently at my last day) at 2bkco, an early-stage, awesome start-up. It took me a while to figure out what the things to do were out here, especially as the only intern at a small company. Hopefully, the following will get you off to a running start

Is That Review a Fake? - Graphic - NYTimes.com
august 2011 by casey.chow
Deceptive reviews on the Web can be very hard even for experts to identify as fake. A team of researchers at Cornell University has been developing sophisticated automated methods to detect them, based on analysis of the text. Here are some of the features that their algorithm looks for, using this example of a fake hotel review. Related Article »

Using git+dropbox together effectively? - Stack Overflow
august 2011 by casey.chow
I think that git on dropbox is great. I use it all of the time. I have multiple computers (two at home and one at work) that I use dropbox as a central bare repo. Since I don't want to host it on a public service and I don't have access to a server that I can always ssh to, Dropbox takes care of this by syncing (very quickly) in the background.

august 2011 by casey.chow
Not every car salesman is out to get you, but they have that reputation for a reason. Many will try to sell you more expensive packages you don't want, trick you into paying more than they advertise, and lie to get what they want. You can sit back and take it and end up paying more for your car, or you can fight back. Here's how.

New Writing Tips Page for Moleskines
december 2010 by casey.chow
I built a new Writing Tips PDF. Print each page on one side of a piece of paper and then cut that piece of paper in half (I used the "fold, lick, fold, lick, tear" method). Fold each half twice and tuck it in the pocket of your Moleskine pocket journal.

How to make a video go viral
december 2010 by casey.chow
Earlier this year I was asked to give advice to one of our clients who wanted to make a ‘viral video’. At first I was a little bit overwhelmed by this request, as my initial view was that something only goes viral if the content is top notch. As Media Guerilla states, “If there’s any real “strategic” part of making a video viral these days, it’s the making of the frigg’n video, it’s the creation of the content”.
