I am Michael. I put up this website because I have so much stuff to share with
people. Yes,
SHARING is a big topic in our lives. Whenever I see something good I can't wait to tell the world about it because I want everybody to know about it and to benefit from it. Also I believe my experiences and ideas allow me to offer advice
on a variety of aspects of life. Who knows? It might help you figure out an answer to a question you have had
for a long time or it might make your life better.
Creating websites and maintaining them have always been a passion of mine. It's unbelievably fun and gives me a sense of achievement to create websites that provide value. Read on to find more about the website I've created!
Websites I Created
Men's Fashion Website: I created this website from start to finish. You can see popular men's clothes from name brands like American Eagle Outfitters, H&M, Zara, Express, G By Guess, Club Monaco, and much more. Here's the story behind this website: I used to not care about how I dressed at all, but one day someone inspired me and made me think every guy could dress well without going overboard with money or style! In short this is a website I created to help men dress better within a modest budget! I've taken lots of time to shoot photos and make them pretty and create this entire website with advanced website technologies. And guess who the model is in all the photos!?
Practical Programming in C++: I am the author of the published book "Finite Programming in C++" which was written to help C++ programmers program efficiently and therefore in finite amount of time. On this website you can find the contents of the book with up-to-date information in the software world. You can read more about this book on C++ practical programming at
Finite Programming in C++!
One Minute Information: This website is essentially a blog I created that fills with information from day-to-day chores like how to scrub paint off the floor to technical issues like how to install and configure Hibernate persistence framework. You just might bump into something you've long been seeking an answer for.
Personal Webpage: This is the website you are looking at right now. I put my personal information like professional interest and projects and fun things like how I learned to make jewelry and Japanese embroidery to share with the rest of the world.
Websites I Am Maintaining
Sunspring Resort: This is a resort hotel my family is running. It is based in Jiao Xi, Taiwan, and is located right where the hot spring is. It also has the largest pool of 'doctor fish' in Taiwan. They are fish that nibble on your feet to feed on dead skin to make your skin smooth!
Tailwind Biotech: This is a biotech company that specializes in fish farming and breeding. I am helping maintain the website.
Jeantour Travel Agency: This is a corporate travel agency I am consulting for. They are based in Taiwan and that's why it's in Chinese.
San Francisco Taiwanese American Festival: This is the website of an organization which runs the San Francisco Taiwanese American Festival every year. I used to be an organizer and I've organized successful fundraisers for them. Now I volunteer to maintain their website.
