June 2008 No Attitudes
Since last year, Judy and I have been playing regularly in Phil Kaplan’s No Attitudes sand volleyball tournaments. This past Saturday, we played in the tournament with new partners for the first time. Judy paired up with Dave while I paired up with Bonnie. Unfortunately, Dave cramped up midway through the tourney and although they [...]
Bigger Abode
After a little over two years living at 104 Seale Ave., we decided that it was time to move to a larger place. No, we’re not buying a place; we’re continuing to rent. To think that the largest asset bubble in modern history has finished deflating is wishful thinking IMO. House prices remain fundamentally disconnected [...]
We’re Engaged!
Back on April 15, 2000, Judy and I went out on our first date. Today thus marks not only our anniversary, but also our 8 year anniversary. The number 8 is considered lucky in Chinese culture, and while neither of us are really superstitious, we both felt compelled to have a special celebration for our [...]

Elf Yourself 2007
Last year, OfficeMax had a fun site that allowed you to upload a picture of a person and paste the face of that person on a dancing elf. It was a lot of fun and I created a great clip of Judy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out a way to save the Flash file. The [...]
Bonnie’s Birthday
Pics and vid from Bonnie’s birthday, including the mesmerizing Foot Pleaser Ultra!
Iraj’s Birthday
For Iraj’s birthday, we went to a Persian restaurant where we enjoyed good food and belly dancing! Here’s some pics and vids.
Jeff’s Birthday
Paul thought it would be fun to do something special to commemorate Jeff turning the big Six-Oh. So we blew up a bunch of TiVo balloons and filled up Jeff’s cube with them. Well, actually, we cheated a bit. After blowing up a few balloons, we quickly realized that we wouldn’t have the stamina to [...]
Chris’ King of the Beach Birthday
Today was Chris’ birthday and we decided it would be fun to crown him King of the Beach for a day. Judy and I got to the beach early to hide the renowned King of the Beach crown. Chris is a stickler for keeping the court boundary lines taut and straight so we decided to [...]
Aug 2007 No Attitudes Tournament
This is definitely the summer of volleyball for Judy and I. We met some really cool people who play regularly on Sundays at Santa Cruz so we’ve been heading to the beach every Sunday.
The Santa Cruz volleyball scene is great - it’s got a really mellow and friendly vibe that we really enjoy. For the [...]
Jul 2007 No Attitudes Tournament
Partly due to my climbing injury, but more due to the fact that it’s just a lot of fun, Judy and I have started playing more volleyball. We play occasionally at the Stanford sand courts and last weekend played in a reverse co-ed grass tournament. We were definitely still a bit rusty and didn’t do [...]
Warriors vs. Mavericks
One of our suppliers had two free tickets to tonight’s Game 3 playoff game between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks. I’m not really a sports fan and neither is Charles (my co-worker), but the NBA playoffs can be pretty exciting and the price was right so we decided, what the heck?
The game [...]
Mubster Slideshow
In loving memory of Shirley Hsu, 1941 - 2006.
For those who don’t know, my mom (”The Mubster” as both my brother Ken and I called her) passed away last year on, of all days, the day after my birthday. Ken gave a really touching eulogy at the funeral, and also created a really great slideshow [...]
Latte’s X-Mas Toy
Latte scored big this X-mas, receiving a big, scrumptious stuffed bone from Allen’s dog Abbey. Click the pic above to see the full-size pic and short video.
