Zhang Lingmei, a former wushu champion and current instructor, held a Wushu Open House this afternoon in San Francisco. A number of our friends were performing, including Jen, Felicia, Steven, and Ben. Rae and I were fortunate to snag some front-row seats; I thought they’d be all taken since it…

Well, it’s finally done! I’ve been meaning to redesign tow.com for what seems like an eternity. My old custom content management system was getting quite creaky and unwieldy. The site is now powered by WordPress, a “state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.”…

Frankly, I thought this day would never come: MacGyver on DVD!!! I once tried getting the series on VCD’s via eBay, but I lost out on the bid. My patience has paid off—I will soon have the entire 7-season collection in pristine-DVD quality! It’s funny, but most people growing up…

Another year, another White Elephant party for the former Content and Access group at Palm. Once again, we held the event at Vive Sol restaurant in Mountain View, with Katherine, Raja, Vijay, Dave, Glen, Greg, Jon, Vinay, Tatiana, and Morgan attending. I had bought some iPod socks for my gift;…

A funny thing happened on the morning of the last COBA meeting of 2004, my primary photo hard drive crashed! I was working on the computer when I suddenly heard this awful clicking and scratching noise emanating from one of my hard drives. When I realized that it was the…
