Wine tasting in Sonoma County
April 23rd, 2006
One of the reasons I love living in the Bay Area is how close we are to interesting activities outside “the city”. One of these activities is visiting wine country, either Napa or Sonoma.

Influence… Take 2
April 23rd, 2006
Ying does it again. Last night, once again, we're lazing around, this time after a day of wine tasting in Sonoma County. On tv is Pretty Woman. At some point after Julia Roberts is offered "the deal", Ying turns to me and asks: —Continue reading....
Influence… good or bad?
April 21st, 2006
Ying was over the other night, and as we flipped the stations looking for something to watch, we came across Deal or No Deal.

Undercover Powers? Brother Austin?
April 9th, 2006
I've decided that there very much needs to be an Undercover Brother Meets Austin Powers movie. —Continue reading....
Apple releases software to run Windows™
April 5th, 2006
If I had written an entry with this headline on April 1, everyone would have assumed it was a big ol' joke for the geekerati. I may have even had people call me nuts for even suggesting such a thing. But no, it's not a joke, it is in fact exactly what Apple has gone and done: new software from my favorite company will allow you to run Windows XP™ on an Intel-based Mac, like the diminutive Mac mini. The software is named Boot Camp and is available as a public beta. —Continue reading....
