Light Up the Sky

San Francisco’s Pier 39, with the Bay Bridge in the background. August, 2011. I was reminded of this song (CD here): I wouldn’t say I’m a super emotional personal person. I’m not good with using words to describe how I feel or what I’m thinking–pictures and music often do a better job.

Picasa 3 beta (windows only)

Again, Google continues to carry out its mission: to try to take over the world. I’ve just downloaded the Picasa 3 beta. You can now make movies, take screenshots and webcam shots, add watermarks and print captions. It also comes with a new photo viewer that looks like this: Hey, the easter egg still works!…

Olympics Photos

Edited: Friday, August 22 When I got back, everyone kept asking why I didn’t stay for the Olympics. My answer was “it’s better watching it on TV.” But now that I’ve seen these pictures, I guess being at the opening ceremonies wouldn’t have been too bad. More here or check out some weird Olympics photos.

Boy was the spirit of the Olympics ever-present at the Torch run protests today! Everyone showed strong team participation and competitiveness. Check it: Team China: Team Tibet: Team Burma: Team Darfur (represented by the green balloons): Team Vietnamese Fisherman: Team Friendlies (yes, that’s what the Mascots are called): Team Lion Dancing: Team Fudan (represented by…

Protesting Violence using Violence?

Update: By the way, read about what China is saying about the torch relay here and here. The Olympic flame landed in SFO today around 3:40am. There have been so many protests already. Being Chinese American, I am proud of China’s rise in power and prominence, but at the same time, I am dismayed at…

Hangin’ out at J-Town after volunteering at the food bank. This one has the feel of an advertisement. So I’ve given up on being lazy and my pictures look sharper to me already. Check out the new updated versions of My Territory and Skimboarders.

Bonds will be missed. I was just…missing.

My friend Craig had extra tickets to Barry Bonds’ last game with the Giants, so he invited me and my friend Nathan along. We had really good seats (row 10 on the 3rd base side). Even though I’m not a big fan Giants fan, it’s always fun to go to a ballgame and of course,…

Above the clouds. This was taken on the way back to SH this week. Sadly, this was one of the last pictures taken with my point-and-shoot. I dropped it on Thursday on an outing. :(

I’m up typing this now because I can’t sleep. I think jet lag is settling in. I haven’t even stayed at home yet, because apparently there was a gas leak so they had to turn off the gas until Tuesday. Which means I have no hot water nor can I use the dryer. So I’ve…

Check out the celebration–the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China from Britain. Too bad I was only able to watch it on TV. Must have been madness out there. Happy birthday to my dad too.

Hot and Humid

It hasn’t been that bad since I got here. I love those red eye flights where I sleep the whole way through. Sure makes the flights go faster. Too bad my light wouldn’t turn off, but the flight attendant was nice enough to put a plastic covering over the entire light panel. I should have…

The Holidays are Here

Anyone buy anything on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? My family watched a lot of football over Thanksgiving. Out of all the sports, I think football is the only one I don't mind watching, no matter what team is playing. Then I came across the weirdest high school football game. Too bad we didn't have…

Check out my geotagged pictures. Ok, there are only a few. At least I added some pictures from this summer. Nobody's really seen any yet.

Writing again?

1 min read
The layout for this summer (2006) has highlighted my pictures, and my writing (or what there is of it) has taken a back seat here. I’m trying to figure a layout that can support both pictures and text. Too bad I don’t have much time for anything, but we’ll see.

I’m back here in HK again. The heat and humidity is a bit nostalgic. I’ve been able to email at the terminals in the library, but haven’t been able to upload pictures just yet. Will try using my teammate’s laptop once we get into CN. Apparently, we’re supposed to have internet access in our hotel…

Mackenzie’s first time in the ocean. Taken at Stinson Beach on Memorial Day. This picture reminds me of those pictures in those clothing catalogs. Hmm, I gotta work on that overexposure.

My brother got me another stick of ram for pennies, er, just about. I’ve been complaining that my computer has been running slower and he said it’s from all the junk that I run. Hey now. Anyways, the deal master came through and here it is, next to the old RAM that’s covered with a…
