quickly pearl tea in fremont

i’m checking out quickly in fremont while waiting to have dinner with jimmy tonight. it turns out that they do have free internet access, but you have to ask them for the password. sort of annoying that they do that, but i’m browsing the web, so i can’t complain. i don’t think [...]

happy birthday, mia!

happy birthday, mia. may you have a wonderful birthday celebration!

jack johnson

i don’t usually swoon over men, but i make exception with jack johnson and his latest album in between dreams.

there is no combination of words
that i could put on the back of a postcard

waffles for dinner

( rants )

i really try not to be an overbearing, overprotective older brother, but seriously, when i see my sister’s IM away message as:

i cannot help but tear my hair out. why does she have to grow up? and what will it take for me [...]

finally finishing what i started

( techie )

i’m not really that crazy about the current design of the main ocliw.com pages, but i am digging the technology used. for a long while i’ve been debating how to manage some of the front end issues for ocliw.com, in particular how i handle the CMS stuff for the site.
super duper geeky details of [...]

end friendship

while driving around the city geoff and i saw this sign. we pulled over to take a picture and then went on our merry way.
