My Blog
I made it on the Channel 5 CBS Eyewitness news
So I was at Best Buy one day and looking at a 10" HP netbook when all of a sudden a CBS News reporter snuck up behind me and asked me if I wanted to be interviewed. I thought to myself that it would be fun to see myself on TV. I've always had a bad habit of sneaking in front of new cameramen to try to get myself on TV. But this was an actual speaking role! In any case, I was too nervous and mumbled dumb things to the reported and they didnt air my interview. But they did get my face and my hands. I believe it aired on the 6pm news, but I missed it. But found it of course on the Internet.
You will see me at 1:09 minutes into the video.

My Favorite Steak Sandwich
This my friend is my favorite steak sandwich. What is it you might ask? Its a Steak Portebello Mushroom Sandwich w/ Provolone Cheese and Garlic Aioli on a Ciabatta Roll. You can find it the Nordstrom Cafe in the Stonestown Galleria Mall. I've been to other Nordstrom Cafe's in the Bay Area (ie. Valley Fair Mall and Standford Mall) but none of them seem to have this particular sandwich on their menu. Click on the image above to zoom in on the juicyness. *drool*

April 7, 1969: Birth of That Thing We Call the Internet
Is it mere coincidence that the Internet was born on April 7 which is also the same day I was born? I think not.
Read the full article.
April 7 is often cited as a symbolic birth date of the net because the RFC memoranda contain research, proposals and methodologies applicable to internet technology. RFC documents provide a way for engineers and others to kick around new ideas in a public forum; sometimes, these ideas are adopted as new standards by the Internet Engineering Task Force.

Fantastic 4
Sorry, havent really been posting stuff on my blogger. That's because I've been busy updating Caden's website. Cant wait to teach him to update his own site. Anyways, I saw a sneak preview of Fantastic 4. Its a good movie. Havent seen a good movie in a while. The movie focused on how they got their powers and how they dealt with it. And only in the end of the movie, you see how they really use it. At the end of the movie, I know ppl wanted to see more action fighting, but they'll probably have to wait for the sequel. Surprisingly, the movie was pretty funny. A lot of witty one liners by the human torch dude, and funny uses of their powers.

20/15!!!
I survived lasik surgery and now I see 20/15 (that's better than 20/20)! I wasnt really scared until I actually got on the surgery table. Overall I spent 3 hours there, but the procedure itself was less than 15 minutes. I didnt feel the laser at all, but I did smell a burnt smell. I did also feel some pain and pressure when they opened up my cornea flap, but for only like 5 seconds.After the procedure, I had to keep my eye closed for 4 hours, so I took a nap.
When I woke up, I couldnt open my eyes because my eyelids were glued shut from all the medicated eye drops. So for those asking if I saw perfectly after I opened my eyes, Id say no because, its still a little hazy. They said it will be a little hazy for a couple of months as my cornea heals. But I have no complaints. Every night before I go to bed, I always think I have to take off contacts since I've been doing it for so long. Stacie videotaped some of my lasik procedure experience. Hopefully, she has time to edit it and Ill post it up here.

LASIK Surgery
Im getting Wavefront LASIK with intralase tomorrow! Im not nervous, but more anxious to get it done. I decided to get the surgery because I didnt want to be fumbling around for my glasses when I have to wake every 2 hours to take care of the baby. Also, I didnt like wearing glasses or contacts. Im getting the surgery done at Pacific Vision Institute. See if you can find Stacie's pic on their website :)

Humongous Christmas Tree
We got our 9ft. Christmas tree yesterday. I dont know why we thought we could fit in our Civic coupe. But we tied it on the roof and we made it safely home. Then my wife and I had to lug that thing up 3 flights of stairs :(
Not to mention this thing was so big that it barely fit in our stand, so it was lopsided the first night. It tipped over 4 times during the night. Did you also know that a Christmas tree can drink up to 1 gallon of water a day?

DSL has finally arrived
After years of waiting, I finally got DSL yesterday. Right now, Im sitting on my couch, in my living room, using my laptop, equipped with my d-link wireless PCMCIA card, which connects to my Netgear MR814v2 Wireless router, which connects to my speedstream DSL modem.
I have an excellent signal strength and a FAST bandwith connection (1150 kbps). Suprisingly, Im getting the same bandwidth connection speed as my desktop computer which is hard wired to DSL.
Also, suprisingly, setting up my SBC Yahoo DSL was a snap. I was up and running in no time. DSL service was turned on promptly on the date specified. And I even got a letter from SBC congratulating and welcoming me on the SAME day the service started. DSL has really come a long way. I remember trying to set up stacie's family DSL about 2 years ago and it was a complete nightmare.
Here are my DSL package details:
Standard Plus Package
384Kbps-1.5Mbps download
128Kbps upload
$26.95/month for 1 year
The time consuming part was setting up my wireless network. But as usual I learned a lot.
1. SSID - I wanted to disable the broadcasting of my SSID to make my wireless network more secure. But I ran into problems because I kept connecting to a neighboring broadcasted SSID. Also, microsoft doesnt recommend it, but doesnt explain why.
2. MAC address - Another way I secured my wireless network was to limit to my laptop's MAC address using the router configuration. That way only my laptop was authorized using my DSL.
3. Ad hoc vs. infrastructure - Since I only have a 1 desktop and 1 laptop I probably didnt need a wireless router. I could have just set up a ad hoc wireless network by using some USB wireless card to connect to my desktop. Then my laptop wireless card would just feed off of the USB wireless card. But I guess using the wireless router was pretty easy to set up. Too bad Im only using 1 of the 4 ports though.
4. update driver - After setting everything up, the wireless speed on the laptop was very slow. Also, I would get disconnected every 5 minutes and have to manually reconnect. After trying everything, I decided to uninstall and update my d-link wireless card driver. Immediately, my connection was fast, and I never get any dropped signals.
