Welcome to ChipTest!

Intro

Hii my name is Ray! I usually go by Sears online. I made this site primarily to get some experience in web design. It also serves as a "homepage" for my socials. I use all pronouns, have a BS in computer science, and am currently 21 years old. I'm also A+ certified!

About my URL

ChipTest was the original name for the Deep Blue (AKA Deep Thought) supercomputer developed at Carnegie Mellon University in the 1980s and 90s. It was the first "chess bot" and beat the chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov in 1997.

About my theme

This page is themed after Phantom of the Paradise, a movie made by Brian De Palma in 1974. It's an adaptation of both Phantom of the Opera and Faust, and it's one of my favorite bad movies of all time!
