Two things I observed last night… I left work a bit early because I was a bit tired (the Monday thing). But when I got home, I felt like going to a bookstore. On my way there, I noticed a smoke trail (or moisture trail that is left by plains) up in the southwestern sky [...]
This was an email response I sent to my cousin, Ilho in Seoul. Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 18:48:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Younghong Cho To: Park Ilho Subject: Re: digital cam… First of all, thanks for the compliments. Of course, you can! (A standard and mostly true answer. :p) My belief is that most of [...]
Maybe it’s just my vanity thing, but I like to check the web access logs to my site everyday. I’ve written several perl scripts to analyze the logs to see who’s visiting and what they are looking at and where they are coming from. I’ve noticed that these days most of the referred links are [...]
One of the things I recently rediscovered, after moving to a new home last month, was that I can actually wake up before 9 a.m. everyday and get by with less than 7 hours of sleep. :p Yeah, what’s so surprising about it, you might say. I feel like I’ve been on this shifted daily [...]
I just wanted to write a short follow-up to a previous entry. I recently found out that my favorite “pearl”/tapioca tea maker, a.k.a. the Dancing Tea Master Lady, has retired from the business. She sold her Cupertino Village TenRen shop to another TenRen franchiser from Milpitas. I actually don’t know what exactly she is doing [...]
We have a lab at work with lots of servers. These servers have lots of fans to cool things down. So, the company provides ear plugs to protect people spending a lot of times in there. I normally don’t work there, but I had to talk to someone in the lab, so while I was [...]
Well, my progress with the Nash biography seems pretty slow. Basically a couple of pages everyday is about it (while taking a dump :p). I think I’ve gotten about two thirds, though. It is definitely much interesting than the movie. It seems things do come in waves, big waves sometimes. Most of the times, my [...]
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser … Someone left a comment at one of my photo galleries. Maybe, that’s how the current state of my psyche is. Or, maybe, that’s what I am like all along. … Looking at the dates of the [...]
Quite a huge gap between the dates, I can see… I have been distracted for the last month or so, I guess. I never thought that I had an addictive personality, but I do get fascinated by gadgets a lot. So for the past several weeks, I have been trying to follow everything about the [...]
On September 11th (incidentally making it 911), 2001, I woke up and started my day with reading a message from one of my friends in NYC saying “I’m okay.” At the time, I had no idea what the heck he was talking about… until I turned on the TV and watched CNN. Then, the realization [...]
