Last weekend, I went over to Eric’s loft in Oakland to test his Dell 3000cn color laser printer. I’m still thinking of purchasing a 3100cn, which just happens to be on sale again. 40% off via a techbargains.com coupon! It’s very tempting, at least until you think about the high…

Last Saturday, Rae and I attended Cindy’s something-something birthday party at her place in Santa Clara. We had come from San Jose, where we saw film Year of the Yao, a documentary covering the first year of Yao Ming’s career in the NBA. It’s hitting theaters nationwide at the end…

My trusty LaserJet 6MP, which had stopped working over three weeks ago, has finally been resucitated. Who knows how much longer it will work, but I’m happy that I can now print again from my Macs. I originally thought that the source of the problem was the Farallon iPrint Ethernet…

Continue reading →: Image Annotation
Longtime readers will know that I’ve undertaken a huge task of annotating all of my images. At last count, I have taken over 70,000 images since October, 1998. I started this project at the end of 2003, and it’s taken me over a year to get to this point. Five…

I’ve known about the Command-Shift-3 (and Command-Shift-4 in OS X) shortcut to take screenshots of a Mac for years. That said, I always wanted a way to save the screenshot to the clipboard. The answer was right there in front of my face the whole time! Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4! Knowing…

Dell’s got another 30% off deal for the 3100cn color laser printer. I missed a 40% off deal by a week, so the price will be $384 (instead of $330) after discount. I’ve read a few reviews, and the consensus is that it’s a very good print. Cons include it…

This past weekend, Rae and I attended two screenings at the annual Asian American Film Festival. On Saturday, we watched (along with Kai, Bryan, and Flora) 20, 30, 40, a film about three women in their — you guessed it — 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s and the hardships they face…

10 years ago, I was studying in France when a large-scale transportation strike fell over the country for several weeks. It appears that they’re at it again with another strike. In 1995, the métro, SCNF, and bus lines were all severely impacted, causing the entire city to take to cars,…

Continue reading →: 30 via 20
30 years old today. This age was not even remotely fathomable to me back in 1985 as I sat thinking about being 18 in front of my family’s Apple II computer. 8 years was long enough, but 20 years?!? Time to rewind the wayback machine to 10 years ago. Some…
