YouTube Upload Sucks
I tried to upload to YouTube, but somehow it is always very hard for me to successfully upload a video. My video was small (under 20 MB), short (within 2 minutes), and I've tried different codecs (MPEG2, MP4, H264...), but more than often I got an error after a long wait. On the contrary, uploading to metacafe is always quick and successful.
More Yoshi Videos
Posted two new videos today. It is really fun to watch him in action, compared to static photos. Many people suggested us to buy a DV to record moments of babies, but I don't see much good video coming from them. Sometimes great moments come so suddently and you just don't have time to go to the drawer and take out the DV. On the other hand, mobile phone is much more convenient, but the quality is relatively poor.

Daan Forest Park
Took my son to Daan Park last Sunday. We were to go on Saturday, but it rained heavily that afternoon. Yoshi loves playing on big, green grass fields, but it's hard to find one for him in Taipei city. The Daan Forest Park is 15 minute drive from home, with lots of space for him to run. The down-side is that, despite the name "forest park", it has actually very scarce trees and thus EXTREMELY HOT! So, we escaped to nearby Yong Kang street for delicious Vietnamese lunch, and then head to Miramar to meet his uncle and cousins. It was an exhausting but happy Sunday. Selected pictures and track can be found here or visit my flickr.

Video of Yoshi Playing
Recorded this with my cell phone couple days ago. My son was playing by himself, talking, and having fun. I picked up my phone and recorded for 90 seconds before he tried to grab my phone. The most interesting part is that he pushed the bar again and agin to swing the hook over so that he could reach his hats. There are so many funny moments but too little chances to record them. I think that's why people don't agree when parents say their children are clever or lovely, because they do not have the chance to observe these moments.

After hundreds of interviews, the class of DEMOfall 08 has been finalized. This year more than 70 new products are set to launch on center-stage in a series of live, six-minute demonstrations. And for the first time, DEMO has created a waiting list for DEMO 09.
"This has been a very exciting DEMO selection cycle and will undoubtedly lead to an extraordinary DEMOfall event. Not only did we receive an overwhelming response from potential demonstrators, but the caliber of products we've selected introduces a new phase in technology," said Chris Shipley, product analyst and executive producer of the DEMO conferences. "At DEMOfall you will see more mature, sophisticated, market-ready products that are a welcome counter to the Web 2.0, widgetware and free-site explosion of the last two years."
During the selection process, several trends began to surface as companies demonstrated their visions for the future of technology. Some themes that attendees can expect to see this DEMOfall include:
Television Meet the Web; Web Meet Television: new ways for Hollywood and consumers to deliver and view content.
Protecting Your Digital Property: from photos to music and film, new products for keeping what's yours.
A Smarter Web Finally Within Our Reach: new ways to search and use the Web.
It's Easy Being Green: products that make it easier to go green in the enterprise and at home.
Getting Embedded with Social Networks: useful ways to network and share on the Web.
Your Mobile, Your Life: from CRM systems to transport networks, there isn't anything you can't do on a cell phone.
Enterprise Meets Web 2.0: the future of collaboration, content and delivery.
In addition to new product demonstrations, DEMOfall 08 will continue to push the edge of technology dialogue with three new panels including top journalists, thought leaders and technology evangelist as they debate the industry's future. And as always, attendees will "collaborate" as they bring their instruments to the conference and join in at the DEMO Jam Session.

Alvin and Monica Scored
My son was afraid of my sister Monica and her husband Alvin recently for unknown reasons. Last Saturday we went out together, and somehow he enjoyed playing with Alvin and Monica. Perhaps it's the heat that made him dizzy...
