    7:30 am in the morning, and I’m getting ready to shoot Andy and JooHee’s wedding in Belmont and Palo Alto. Yesterday, I attended WordCamp, the inaugural WordPress conference in San Francisco. WordPress has definitely grown up from its humble beginnings as a branch of the b2 blogging software. There was…

    The news is out this morning that Floyd Landis’ B sample has confirmed the adverse reaction of the A sample from his Stage 17 victory in the Tour de France. Landis maintains his innocence: I have never taken any banned substance, including testosterone. I was the strongest man in the…

    I’ve been listening to Vienna’s new album, Dreaming Through The Noise, on repeat for the past several days. This is how I experience her music, letting it leave a permanent imprint on my auditory sensors and memories. The album at first glance appears to be a departure from her first…

    Lots of information on T/E testing on FreeFloydLandis. Lots of press coverage on the incident, far more than there was when he was winning the Tour de France.

    Now for some good news… CNET UK recently did a mano-a-mano battle between a Newton MessagePad 2100 and a Samsung Q1 UMPC. Despite the 10-year age gap, the Newton comes out of the ring victorious!

    WTF? Landis Positive A Test

    July 27, 2006

    This is not what I wanted to hear when I heard that one rider tested positive during the Tour de France last week. Floyd Landis tested a positive A sample following the 17th stage, when he single-handlely decimated the peloton and rode himself back into contention. I’m still siding with…

    What an amazing Tour de France this year! This was easily the most exciting race since 1989 and 2003, with the race changing leads a record-tying eleven times. Landis truly deserves this race after proving to everyone that it’s not over till it’s over. I watched Stages 16 and 17…

    Stage 16 turned the entire Tour upside down. Landis cracked badly on the ascent to La Toussuire. I was watching the stage this morning, and I felt so bad for him as he was dropped by Menchov, Kloden, Sastre, and Pereiro. When you crack, it’s as if you’re standing still…
