    I was reading Dardy’s blog, in which he mentioned that he saw the last two Star Wars movies on opening day at midnight. “Wait a second,” I thought to myself, “I saw Attack of the Clones with him on opening day, but it wasn’t the midnight showing!” Dardy was quite…

    Last night, I had dinner with Eric, Geoff and Livia at Gordon Biersch in downtown Palo Alto. With their jet-set lifestyles, it’s hard to keep up with these people! Eric just returned from French Polynesia, and Geoff and Livia were going to take a red-eye flight to Houston later in…

    Tami’s friends gathered at the Yank Sing restaurant in Downtown San Francisco. Apparently, this is a very popular dim sum restaurant, though I have never heard about it until now.

    Some time ago, I had to transfer files from an old PowerBook 180 to my PowerMac. At first I thought that I was out of luck, because I had no machine which could read floppy disks anymore (I had sold my Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh a year ago). Although I found…
