I recently came back from a great two week trip to China and Japan. Because I needed an international phone plan/data access, I ended up giving up my beloved DROID2 (which lacks international roaming/data) for two weeks and using the iPhone 4 my company had given me. Because much has changed in the year and [...]
Apologies for the lack of blogging in recent weeks – as with last year, I was recently in Asia on business and am in the process of catching up on my email backlog. Posts to come soon – I promise!
The tradition of making a wrapup blog post continues… so what did I do in 2011 as reflected by my blog posts? Well, I… Foolishly made a list of 7 resolutions, the 3 easiest of which I completed… (I’ll let you decide which one those were) – hence learning not to do such a thing [...]
Those who follow my Twitter/Google Plus saw that I attended the Dickens Fair this past weekend (thanks to my lovely and talented friend Felicia for telling me about it and getting my girlfriend and I comped tickets!) What is the Dickens Fair, you ask? Apparently, it’s a Bay Area tradition dating to the 1970s where [...]
Its hard to believe that Google Reader has only been “dead” for a few weeks. I use the quotes because while the core RSS reader functionality is still going, the reason it was all-consuming for me (and, frankly, one of the biggest sources of my goodwill towards Google) – the social functionality – is dead [...]
One of the things I regret the most about my background is that I lack good knowledge/experience with programming. While I have dabbled (i.e. mathematical modeling exercises in college, Xhibitr, and projects with my younger brother), I am generally more “tell” than “show” when it comes to creating software (except when it comes to writing [...]
A few weeks ago, I did a little farewell tribute to Apple CEO and tech visionary Steve Jobs after he left the CEO position at Apple. While most observers probably recognized that the cause for his departure was his poor health, few probably guessed that he would die so shortly after he left. The tech [...]
My love of comics stems from something quite simple: good cartoons. I grew up watching cartoons based on classic comic book storylines. Shows like X-Men: The Animated Series, Spider-man: The Animated Series, and Batman: The Animated Series (which even won four Emmy Awards!) were just plain cool to a young boy who wanted to watch [...]
I was at the Nihonmachi Street Fair a few weeks ago in San Francisco’s Japantown and saw an adorable shirt from Fat Rabbit Farm which immediately appealed to my love of comics and sense of style . Pow! Want one? Check it out (and more) at Fat Rabbit Farm’s website.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a big fan of San Francisco’s de Young museum. This past weekend I went to check out their Picasso exhibition with a couple of good friends from L.A. If you’re in the Bay Area over the next few months and you enjoy fine art, I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out. [...]
