My mother-tongue name is Sopheap Ly [លី សុភាព]. It's probably written for French pronunciation, because it sounds like this: Sok-Peep-Lee. If you are one of the native English speakers, I guess you should just call me Neo Lee. At the time of this writing, I'm 24 by the Chinese counting standard--the Chinese counts the age since one's in the womb. So I guess, in some places, I'm only 23, or even 22. Real age asides. If you happen to see me in person or in photo, I will look as if I'm only 14. I'm not kidding. I look like a small kid. Some people would say it--my petiteness--is bad. Not true at all. I've got so many advantages being petite. One, I can sneak into buildings like a Ninja without anybody noticing me. Two, I can sit there in primary school as a pupil, flirting with pretty teachers without exposing my true identity. Last but not least, and seriously, it proves that I'm uniquely one of a kind. I don't want to be ordinarily normal. I don't want to be an average Joe ("Joe, is that you?"). I want to do things differently.

I love developing innovative computer applications, creating new concepts and optimizing ineffeciencies. Personally, I believe innovation is what propels human kind into a brighter future, and that "reinventing the wheels" is never a waste of time and effort. Had cars been equipped with same ol' bicycle wheels, you would have probably never got faster than 60 Km/h. Had transistors not replaced vacuum tubes, your phone would have been as big as a TV, and your NTSC/PAL TV would have been as big as a truck, your PC would have consumed the space of as large as a building block. The list goes on. My philosophy: One can achieve anything if s/he put enough effort, time and money on it. Before 1903, scientists and priests alike believed machines heavier than air would never fly. The ideas of creating something called "plane" alone was just utterly ridiculous. After the first propeller plane flew in 1903, the ridicule switched sides. At that time, propeller was the convention, and again people called anything different "ridiculous." Who would have thought jet engines, invented years later, would perfectly replace propellers? In a nutshell, every invention before becoming a norm is ridiculed at and stamped with 'Impossible' time and time again. You will definitely find a lot of my ideas insanely improbable. Frankly, I've thought about creating a treadmill that can be taught to play chess on its own; a tree that can talk on its own; a plane with electromagnetic engine powered by Earth's magnetic fields a.k.a. UFO; a robot that walks on the Moon; and many more. It's ok to laugh now... I'm now laughing too. Someday I will try to make them for real. You'll see me on CNN, BBC and Fox News. Heh heh heh!

I've never thought I'd create this website to blog about my private life and my creations. To be honest, I'm not keen at publicizing my life. I could just log them in diaries privately, alone for me and myself to read, but no offense to those who keep diary, I find it quite lame. Despite being socially inept, I don't see the point of not getting some publicity, not connecting with other inventors, or not bragging about my inventions. When I get famous, fingers crossed, this place will hopefully serve as a fun read to all my fans. It's cool to be inspired by, isn't it? I know, I know, it is too soon to divide the meat of a deer before I even shoot it. But that's what an extreme optimist like me usually does. I love setting some distant goals, what I should ultimately be doing in the next 70 years. Of course, if I can live up to that age. So dance with me when I'm famous.

I will start a new chapter of my life. This website will serve the purpose of keeping the records. And my dear reader, should you have any comments, questions or feedbacks, please let me know.
