    February 20, 2002

    Ever wonder why the shins and insides of your feet hurt so much after exercising or extended walking? You might be overpronating. Ever since I dislocated my elbow last year, I have listened more closely to the signals my body sends me. The last few times that I’ve exercised, I’ve…

    I had dinner with Randy, Renny, Alf, and Joon-Mo this evening at the Southland Taste Restaurant, located at 10825 N. Wolfe Road in Cupertino. This restaurant’s claim to fame is that it serves authentic Taiwanese food. I’m not Taiwanese, so I wouldn’t know if it was authentic or not, but…

    It’s been a fun ride with the D30 since I bought it at the end of October, 2000. Since receiving the EOS-1D in December, I have found that the D30 was gathering more dust than being used. So, I decided to sell the camera to Eric’s friend, Luke, on Thursday.…

    This year PalmSource is at the San Jose Convention Center. Previously, the Santa Clara Convention Center was home to the conference. The change is probably a good one, since Santa Clara lacks the energy and excitement of downtown San Jose. No, Bennigan’s doesn’t qualify Santa Clara as hip and happening!…

    On February 4, 2001, I dislocated my right elbow while playing Ultimate Frisbee at the Los Palmas Park in Sunnyvale. It’s been one year, and I returned to the playing field, now at Columbia Park in Sunnyvale. The group has changed since I was last playing at the beginning of…

    It’s been awhile since I last saw Vienna play. She’s gaining quite the following on the Internet and on the coffee shop circuit. There were many more people at the Red Rock Coffee Company than the last time that I saw her there! The seeds of greatness typically begin in…

    The Palm i705 Handheld was released today. It was an arduous climb to the summit, but the product is finally out the door. Of course, I froze to death along the way, but left enough of my climbing equipment available for the rest of the team to make it to…
