    Rae and I went to Felix’s New Year’s Celebration party in Fremont yesterday night. It seems like ages since I last saw Felix, not to mention Debby, who was also at the party. It’s certainly been a few years when the three of us were together cycling in what used…

    Thursday at MacWorld didn’t bring any additional surprises. As I said in my previous entry, MacWorld SF 2002 seemed smaller than the ones I’ve previously attended.

    The organizers of the annual Photo Fair state that the show is one of the largest on the West Coast with “hundreds of dealers.” With a description like that, you’d expect something along the lines of the upcoming MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, at the cavernous Moscone Center, right? Uh,…

    Last year, I travelled to France for the wedding of Anne and the New Year. Air travel was less stringent back then, as I brought everything aboard the plane in my LoweAlpine Contour IV backpack. This year, my Swiss Army Knife stayed at home and my tripod was checked-in for…
