    During my lunch with George, I learned that Dan Kim is returning to Korea with his family. It turns out that Woo-Young got a great University position that they could not ignore. She and the kids are already back in Korea, and Dan will be leaving in a few weeks.…

    Rae’s a Switcher! I helped her set up her new 17-inch iMac on Friday, loading it up with memory and software. It’s a definite upgrade from her old and slow Dell computer. I think she’s going to enjoy using it! Macs are just so much more visually appealing than PC’s.…

    I first met Saul Kato at Stanford back in April, 2001. At the time, he was demoing the first-generation Jack product at Stanford Stadium. The Jack was able to beam a copy of its browser application to a Palm device, which would then communicate with the Jack to retrieve relevant…

    January 30, 2004

    Ever since the Canon EOS-10D was released, I’ve been hearing about the wonderful high ISO performance.
