    It’s been a tough week for everyone in the nation, and I must admit that after Tuesday, work become a distant concern of mine. I’m probably speaking for a lot of people when I say that I didn’t get much work done after Tuesday. One cool thing that the company…

    These are the days that you don’t think will ever happen in the United States. I’m in a state of stunned disbelief at the events that have transpired this morning. It makes no sense. I can only pray for the victims in this tragedy. Terrorism has reached American soil at…

    Scout the location. In preparing for an upcoming wedding shoot, Randy and I drove across the Dumbarton Bridge to the Ardenwood Historic Farm. Ardenwood is a picturesque complex that accurately recreates what farm life was life a century ago. Tractors, farm animals, corn fields, and railroad cars populate Ardenwood, drawing…

    I had lunch with Tom, Fanny, and Vijay at 3Com’s cafeteria. 3Com has seen some major cutbacks in recent months and the campus seems sooo dead these days. The cafeteria, once bustling with people from both 3Com and Palm, is not empty during the lunch house. I’d hate to be…

    We can do it. The past two weekends, I’ve helped Rae film and photograph her documentary on Qiu Jin, a Chinese revolutionary and poet from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The week before, we did some scenes of Rae dressed up as Qiu Jin. This past Labor Day…

    I still have yet to get MacOS X to boot properly on my new system. If I never boot into 9, then X works like a charm. The minute I restart the machine into 9, however, I can’t boot into X, getting this blue screen of death after the system…
