Happy Birthday

Yoshi is three years old today. It feels like a long time already but also so fast. Sometimes I forget that he is just a "baby" if you consider someone younger than three years old. In these three years he physically grew up to almost 100 cm tall, learned to speaks fluent Mandarin and some English and Taiwanese, can count to 29 (and then need to ask which "ten" comes next), and likes reading, singing and playing a lot of games he invented. He also like to help on houseworks. Happy birthday, son!

Stieg and Scanners

I finished reading "Girl with Dragon Ratio". In the book Stieg Larsson wrote the handsome jounalist brought a Microtek scanner with him when he came to the island, and he used an Agfa film scanner to scan films in his research. Back in 2001, compared to other gears he used such as an iBook, the two scanners were also a symbol of his taste and profession. I happened to be quite familiar with scanners, especially these two brands. Now Agfa is no longer selling scanners, and Microtek is almost not found anywhere. If Larsson is still alive, I wonder if he can still find someone to repair his scanners -- and it's just less then ten years ago when they were big names in the industry.

Life is Beautiful

A good friend C is starting a new life in another country. He just finished a grand tour after years of working, and now he's ready to begin a new journey to unknown frontiers. Wish everything goes well and he will find happiness at the end of the road.

This photo is irrelevant, just want to show my beautiful girl. :D

Vegas

Had a biz trip to Vegas last week. No a penny spent on slot machine. Not watched a single show.

First time driving in USA. Driving was not a problem, but without a GPS was. I got too dependent on a GPS so suddenly I can't drive without one. It was especially hard at nights when it's hard to see the signs, and I often drove onto wrong lane so had to turn or could not turn, and thus needed to find another way.
