Min-Yen Kan

I hail from Washington, D.C. in the US. I may have a Chinese name and may look Chinese, but I still have a hard time understanding Mandarin (I understand Cantonese a bit better). I enjoy most solitary sports, including inline skating, rock climbing and scuba diving. My music interests include classical (Mahler, Bach), drum and bass (LTJ Bukem), trip-hop (Massive Attack) and Lounge (Zero 7). For DnB, Makoto Shimizu has been producing a podcast since Feb 2006.

For my Ph.D. at Columbia University, I was jointly advised by Professor Kathleen McKeown of the Computer Science department and Dr. Judith Klavans of the Center for Research on Information Access.

How 'bout Macs? In SoC, Ooi Wei Tsang has a nice list of things and hints to do. I've also kept a not-so complete list of notes on my Powerbook G4 install

Progress Log

I keep weekly reports of the progress (or lack thereof) I have made in my research. Right now I use my TiddyWiki more to take notes and progress logs.

Older logs, kept on a weekly basis:
