Free gifts from China.

I almost died on the way to the doctors when my car spun around a couple times on the 90 and then flew down and embankment. Miraculously, everything was froozen solid so the car and myself were not damaged. Normally, the creek I rolled onto would have been mush but it was solid as pavement and I was able to drive off.

Seriously, it was a freakin miracle. Its so scary when you are spinning around out of control on the highway and mac trucks are coming at you.

I was trying to drive to the doctors on transit. I made it but really this is why I want a doctor in the city.




On a side note, I discovered my notphone can browse all the files on my real phone as though it is anotherf drive. How cool is that. I don't even have to trasnfer stuff via bluebooth message.

"We discussed a number of alternatives ranging from commercial partnerships to a merger proposal, which you rejected," Microsoft told Yahoo in a letter.

"While a commercial partnership may have made sense at one time, Microsoft believes that the only alternative now is the combination of Microsoft and Yahoo that we are proposing," it said.

I knew this was going to happen. Semmel is leaving and @ajay is going to end up working for microsoft!

I wentto Zhang's buffet on union with some of my coworkers tdoay. We saw an estrip bumper sticker in the parking lot and it turned out to be e:umcutsaniflush and @leetee who are going onh a cruise. I am so jealous. I want to be in the sun.

This time I only ate the seafood and rice plus a chicken wing and it was much better. It would be hard to mess up mussels.

I still think their sushi is not good.

So yesterday @jim emails me to say the SL economy has crashed .

Then, I woke up this morning to find that someone had returned all my property form Slate. My hometown in Secondlife. I was so mad that it was gone and then I thought, wait - thats my land how did they banish my stuff from it?

Then I logged in and saw - someone seriously paid 200,000L/$700 US dollars for my remaining tiny plot of land. I can't believe it. It has had the price tag of $700 for months, maybe even a year and everyone always tried to bargain down. I refused to budge on the price thinking I would rather own the land then sell it for cheaper. Then this morning I wake up and bam. I get an email saying my shit has been returned to me by the owner of the land.



I know the secondlife economy crashed yesterday. But its still worth $700 US. This means I have made almost $2000 off this game I never even play. Should I cash out or re-invest in the long term. I think I might just cash out. I figure if I ever want back in I could just buy some land.

You have sold L$209530 for a total of US$732.59 using LindeX. Your Second Life account will be credited the net proceeds.

:enknot and I went to lunch at Kunis again today. I freakin love their food. It is so tasty.



I got tuna and yellow tail rolls


I really like their wakame salad.


This squid was really yummy and really cool looking.


The marekerel was exactly the type I like. I would suggest theirs definately.


Everything was perfect as always. They really just have the best Sushi in town. It is, however, a most expensive lunch if you are not getting the Bento box. I seriously think my lunch came to $19.00. Seeing as I barely eat out anymore - I am going to jusify that.

Totally unrelated. Yeserday, I was in Kenmore for the dentist and I tooka couple pics of the trip. Yes, officially pet lover's paradise is closed. It looks like it was closed for a long time and i just never noticed. Does anyone else remember the monkey from in there that everyone said hey gave lsd too? Was that an urban legend or can someone substantiate that store.



The one thing about Kenmore is that everytime I return I am awe struck by its natural beauty.

After a long stint with loving apple stuff I now love nokia stuff better. I wonder if they will ever make a nokia computer that I could need. I love how international they are

THis phone i seriously like a digital camera/phone combo. It has a freakin 5P camera. I think they are going for phone/camera what apple did for the phone/music player.

Whats really going on in this one It reminds me so much of art school meets commercial space.

Just testing out estrip on opera mini. damn thumb typing sucks! but it lets you upload images. not sure why it makes them so darn tiny as the phone can do 1600x1200

This isn't exactly the web stack I expected to work on, lol but it works.
