Fighting Sticks I Made Myself is the personal web site of me, Danny Hong. I have been creating web pages since 1998, mostly personal, but some freelance as well. In 1999, I purchased my first web domain through Internic providers and really took my web exposure higher. Despite the sporadic and inconsistency of my web designing, it is still something I enjoy doing. Fighting Sticks I Made Myself is the fourth incarnation of my personal site.

The objective of Fighting Sticks I Made Myself is quite simple. To have a place to show off my stuff. Writing, photographs, and anything else I find interesting enough to want to put up here.

Here, you will find a myriad of content, ranging from many genres - both my own as well as posted with permission content by others. Some things you might find more informative than others, or maybe you will find something here that can make you laugh. All in all, I'd like to make visiting this site enlightening, entertaining and appealing to return, or perhaps all of the above.

The layout you see is very simple and does not require a lot of system requirements. I don't really see the point in splash pages of shockwave animation and irrelevant material, so I don't feel the need to subject my visitors with their excessive loading times.

The name, Fighting Sticks I Made Myself was inspired by a line from the 1983 kung-fu movie, "Master Killer (AKA 36 Chambers of Shaolin)" starring Gordon Liu, the man you see all over the header. When inquired about the tri-section staff he invented, a lieutenant monk simply responds with "some fighting sticks he made himself." My sites are my fighting sticks - and I made them myself.
