CMU Prof. Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture"

I don't know how we missed this initially, but I just came across this after an Apple colleague sent this out.  This is probably one of the best 76 minutes that you'll spent. Truly amazing and moving story.

You can find out more about him and other videos on his page including an hour special ABC's Diane Sawyer did on him.  In the ABC interview, his wife said "... there were many nights we would go to bed, roll over and hug each other and cry ..."  

Sad, but him and his family are true inspirations to all of us!!!

Sick of managing my own server

Yeah, it's kinda like that. I'm tired of managing my blog on my server. So I've decided to just move it completely over to Blogger.com and let them handle the traffic/uptime, etc.

You'll also notice the standard template/layout/color schema that Blogger provides, you like?

My very technical wife

me: "I can't wait for Apple to come out with the 3G iPhone." (disclaimer: no, this is by no way of me starting a rumor)

Jean: "What's that? huh, 3G?"

me: "It's the faster network. Right now iPhone is on AT&T's EDGE and its sloooow..."

Jean: "And EDGE is like what? how much of 3G? ... 1G? 2G? Squeegee?"

She then proceeds to laugh at her own funniness for quite a while. Yeah, I have to admit, that was pretty funny for me too. Love my wife!

Taipei Zoo

We like zoos. Even this non-stop rain all week couldn't stop us from going to the Taipei Zoo.

At only NT$60 ($2) each, it's a bargain.

I uploaded about 50 more photos of the zoo into our "Taiwan 2008" Flickr set of us strolling in the nearly-empty zoo for 6 hours. The only other people there were school kids of various schools and grade levels on their field trips. Love being tourists and going to places while the rest of the country is working :-)

We also recorded a short video (40 seconds) of a very playful Sun Bear.

My brilliant wife

Taipei has been raining all week and probably will be for the rest of the time we're here. So we've been limited to activities that are not outdoor. Shopping and eating seem to be our favorite activities now.

Here's us one morning...

Jean: "Stores aren't open yet?"

Me: "I know, it's 10:30AM already, I guess they don't open til 11AM."

Jean: "I don't get it, why would they put that club security bar outside?!?!"

Me waiting about 10 seconds...

Jean: "Ah... never mind"

Here's my brilliant wife.
