SPaik's Homepage

Welcome to the homepage of the SPaik-mos!

Hello! I am an alumnus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . I have received my B.S. and M.Eng degrees in Electrical Engineering and I just returned from a year-long internship at Mazda Motor Corporation. I am now working for ACX which is located right next to the MIT campus. I hope to return to Japan on a regular basis to keep in touch with the culture and people that I experienced out there!

I have finally made the committment to living in MA and have bought my own home. My previous rommate, a man named Lahaie, has gone off to China for the year while applying to med school (sound familiar?). Unfortunately, he took my fork with him when he left... My mom bought me another one when she last visited. My ghost roommate, MoTao, visits every so often when he needs to escape from all the whoring he does in Boston on the weekends. =P

I am also a brother of The Beta Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity, where I lived during my undergraduate years at MIT. I was the treasurer of our fraternity for a full year, from spring '95 through fall '95. I was also the scholarship chair fall '96 and a member of our standards board spring '97. I am now a member of the AILG board of directors, and I have become the president of our house corporation.

Now, what's a "SPaik-mos", you ask? Well, it's a long story, but it goes something like this. One day, Jon Levene (one of my pledge brothers) was studying his 6.002 (Circuits and Electronics) and didn't know what MOS stood for. So, he decided to ask Darius (another one of my pledge brothers). Darius, in his infinite wisdom, responded with a "I can't believe you don't know what MOS is! It stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor!" in a very loud voice. So, from that point on, Jon would run around the house yelling "MOS!....MOS-y MOS!..." and that's how the whole thing started. Now, MOS is used as a greeting...kinda like the "moshi-moshi" commonly heard in Japanese. It can also be used as a suffix to a name, such as SPaik-mos. Darius is not "Darius-MOS"; we address him as just plain "MOS". This distinguishes him as the king-MOS.

Here are some links on my page:

You are visitor # . The numbers are in Chinese characters, which I have been studying in my Japanese and Korean classes.

I have developed a wide variety of interests since coming to MIT and Boston. I like to listen to a-capella in Boston, I played varsity water polo here at MIT, and I work at Analog Devices, Inc. in Wilmington during the summers as a design engineer.

Here's a link to the MIT KSA.

So, why does a man love a woman?


A poem, that means more to me each day.



Now, why does my homepage look like crap? Well, 'cause I never really spend much time on it, and because I want it to be fast and easy to load. So, almost all of this page is just plain text that was plopped into an editor to be thrown up onto the web. Someday, I will put cute little graphics and buttons on here, but until I have the time (and equipment) to do a good job, I'm not going to bother. Maybe IAP will be that time....
