I was going to go snowboarding again this weekend, but decided not to go. I figure to just relax this weekend for a bit, clean up my room. It’s bad. It looks like hurricane Andrew and an F5 tornado just went through it. What a mess. It’s a total disarray. If I have time maybe [...]
I just came back from three days of snowboarding at Heavenly and Kirkwood in South Lake Tahoe. I did one crazy run, a double black or diamond called the “Wall” at Kirkwood. Lol. I didnt know it was that steep until I saw it on the lift. Nowhere to go but down.
Well, I’m off to Lake Tahoe to snowboard for a couple days. We will be at Kirkwood Sunday and then at Heavenly on Monday. Be back in the Bay Area Tuesday. I plan to take some pics, so I will post it in the gallery when I get back. Just bought new boots, so I [...]

Its the Patriots 3rd Super Bowl win in 4 years. They don’t win by much and they are not blowing out any of their opponents either. I think we reached the boring and worst era of NFL Football. Teams are so evenly matched nowadays that any team can have a shot of reaching the playoffs. [...]
Well, the 4th quarter just started and so far Super Bowl commercials has been a disappointment. The were only two funny commercials both by Americaquest in which a guy gets beat up by the owners of a convenient store because he said “I hate to tell you, but you’re getting robbed.”
It stands for Concurrent Versions System and not the pharmacy. I’m starting to learn how to use this very powerful software tracking system. It’s quite unique in that it records changes only between multiple revisions or releases of files instead of keeping multiple copies of the same file.
Polls show Americans are split on Social Security reforms. Sounds very familiar. This is not much different from the 2004 elections. It looks like another partisan divide. I hope policy makers will do what’s best for America and its future setting aside partisan politics.
