Squirrel Watching
While you would think that staring out the door at a squirrel might get boring after a while, there are some who would beg to differ. Latte shows that this can be quite an engaging and stimulating pastime, especially if the squirrel stares back at you.
New Planet Granite
Today was a highly anticipated day for Judy and I as it marked the grand opening of the new Planet Granite climbing gym in Sunnyvale. Rumors were that the new gym would be huge, with a bouldering area nearly twice the size of the Santa Clara gym. For the last month or so, the problems [...]
Biking to Work
Today I biked to work for the first time. It wasn’t just the first time I’ve biked to TiVo, but the first time I’ve biked to work ever. One of my co-workers offered some suggestions on which route to take. From our house on Seale, I just took Middlefield to Ellis which goes under the [...]
Roubaix Arrives!
I was finally able to pick up my Roubaix today. Mike’s Bikes sold quite a few bikes during the sale in which I bought my bike so it took a while for them to take delivery and build my bike. The bike was actually ready on Sunday, but they like to do a bike fitting [...]

Specialized Roubaix Comp
I’ve had my sights set on getting a road bike for some time now. Not only are there lots of great places to road bike in Northern California, but I also wanted to start biking to work (at least once a week for the duration of daylight savings). My plan was to buy a bike [...]
TiVo Wins Against Echostar!
This was actually posted on April 24 because I had to get further clarification on TiVo’s public posting policies. From the Associated Press: “A federal jury awarded TiVo Inc. more than $73 million in damages Thursday in a patent infringement lawsuit against EchoStar Communications Inc.” TiVo’s press release can be found here which states our [...]
Firefox Bookmarks Synchronizer
I use the internet primarily from two locations, home and work. I recently made the switch to an IMAP based email system in which all my emails and email folders are stored on a central server. Regardless of whether I access my email from home, work, or wherever, I always have all my emails and [...]
Boot Camp!
This is awesome! Apple is introducing software to allow Windows XP to run on Intel-based Macs. The first Intel-based Macs were introduced a few months ago and by the end of the year, all Macs will be based on the Intel architecture. In my line of work as a product designer, I make extensive use [...]
The Canyons
Judy and I decided to do a last minute trip to Utah for one last weekend of snowboarding for the season. Since we always go to Powder Mountain and Snowbasin, we decided to stay in Salt Lake City this time and try out some new resorts. The plan was to fly in Friday night, hit [...]
RohJuh on Roids!
Roids??? Huh? Everything about the site still looks the same. In fact it looks exactly the same. So what’s different? Well, you may have noticed that the site felt a bit different when you first arrived. You’ll likely notice a difference when you’re browsing through pics, and you’ll almost definitely notice something different when you’re [...]
Ken’s Best Man Toast
Here’s the Best Man’s toast I gave at my brother Ken’s wedding: Well, we’ve been mistaken for twins on more than one occasion so if you don’t know who I am yet and haven’t figured things out from the resemblance, I’m Ken’s older brother Roger. When Ken first asked me if I would be his [...]
Ken & Janet’s Wedding
Ken and Janet tied the knot on March 11, 2006. Here are the pics from Ken’s bachelor party, some shots from the wedding and reception, and a collection of great pics from Ken and Janet’s childhoods. Enjoy!
AWStats Site Statistics
Yowzers! Web development can sure suck up gobs of time! I set out this past weekend to install AWStats, a popular web statistics analysis package. It was supposed to be a relatively straightforward affair. Suffice it to say that it took a bit longer than I expected (surprise, surprise!). After encountering several issues, consulting with [...]
Microsoft Redesigns iPod Packaging
A co-worker forwarded this to me and I found it absolutely hilarious. If you’re in product design or marketing, you’ll likely get a good kick out of this. If you’re not, you’ll probably just find it mildly amusing. The sad thing is that the end-result totally looks like a Microsoft product.
