One more reason I will probably drop Verizon in a few months, when my contract is up. Verizon is now requiring it’s customers to » Opt Out in order to have your personal data not be sold! They claim that by sending you a little flyer with your bill, that most people will throw away, [...]
For those of you outside of Southern California, you may or may not of heard that there are many fires burning. The earliest one started this morning, and all are fueled by fierce Santa Ana winds. There is a Google Maps area of the fires. None are near me of course, but the surrounding hills of the [...]
My father’s birthday was earlier in the month. However, my mom’s sister was in town last week, so we held a large birthday party last Friday. A few years ago, we had a surprise boat cruise birthday party for my mother. This time, while no surprise, it was a large success. You can view most [...]
Last month, in September, William got married. His parents introduced mine, and of course we went. Ed was one of the groomsmen.

My friend Andy has decided to move up to Portland. Can’t say that I understand why. It rains there, the sun doesn’t come out, and they still have earthquakes. Oh, and the occasional volcano near by. Not to mention, no major league baseball team(They do have a AAA team though). Still, I am going to [...]
There are a few good reasons to hate to fly. Bumpiness, airsickness, crying babies. Planes not arriving on time, that sort of thing. Now though, the  US demands air passengers ask its permission to fly. Under the new proposal, the airlines will have to submit, 72 hours in advance, the full passenger manifest.  It’d be kinda [...]
I don’t usually write anything about college football, since I went to a school that had some pretty bad flag football players. However, for the sake of family rivalries, I will note that Stanford beat USC by 1 point. Underdogs by 40 points before the game started, they were able to pull off a victory.  That [...]
In addition to recently upgrading to Wordpress 2.3, I installed a new plugin called iWPhone. Hopefully, this will make reading this blog easier for people with iPhones. Now if only I had something people with iPhones wanted to read!
