Revisit my blogger account

Wow, I didn't realize it's been 4 years since I last blog at this site. Well I maintain several blog sites, one for gadget related stuff (blog.icube.us), one is for my technical writing (knowledgerecycle.com), one is for sharing my spiritual thoughts (thethreesixteen.com) and this one is really meant for my personal notes and thoughts (collection of random personal things). Well I guess I completely forgot to update this one :)

So where I am since the last update? I know have 2 beloved boys. They are almost 5 and 3 now (just amazing how quickly they grow). They both grow very beautifully and it is such a blessing every day going back from work, as soon as you open the door, both of them run to the door and greet. All the "tired"ness just go away instantaneously.

In my professional side, I am still pretty much busy with e-commerce works. Lately, I've been more and more actively involve in business development for the company and working with various projects using Magento Commerce (if you haven't heard about this ecommerce platform, you should check them out!) So overall been really busy and working with quite a lot of wonderful clients, to mention a few: RelaxTheBack, Simplicity, CTeWriter, Specialized Products, TOMS shoes and one more client that I can't mention here :)

Any new hobby? Well I started to do more and more music composition using simple tool such as Garage Band and Ableton Live. It is fun. Usually I create and play music and the next day I will forget about it. Now, I can properly capture my inspiration and just put them in my dropbox public folders. Garage Band is awesome !! It is so simple to use and the result is pretty amazing (for amateur musician like me at least). I just got myself a nice, red color, MIDI keyboard controller, M-Audio Axiom 49. It is realy an amazing MIDI keyboard controller. It is quite compact to carry around. It works really well with Ableton Live.

Well that is me yapping at around midnight on Feb 19. I try to be more deligent to drop my thought here. Off-load process complete. Good night LA.

Miss my baby :)

It has been more than 2 weeks now I did not see my little boy here. Missed him so much. For some reason I think he looks much bigger now :) Talked to my wife yesterday and she told me that my boy got some loose stools for couple days. Poor baby. Could not wait to meet him on Thanksgiving Day! I will be flying over to meet them (both my "wife" baby and my little baby). 

10:30 at night and I just finish watching anime movie "Detective Conan'! It has been relaxing weekend so far. It started with Saturday afternoon, went to Santa Monica to return my Segway rental and purchased one myself. I've been renting that thing for a week. Despite of a little accident that I've had several days ago (resulting some stitches on my chin and minor fracture on my wrist), l decided to purchase the Segway anyway because I love riding it so much.

This morning I went to a bike shop to get headlight and bell installed on it. I also manage to find rear mirror that fits perfectly on the handle bar of the i2 (the model name of my Segway). Riding it all the way from my house to the bike shop and return ; "gliding" in the middle of Sunday crowd of Westwood. It was just great.

I think people who commute by car to any destination less than 10 miles should give it a try. Especially if they live at a metropolitan city.

Here's the picture of my retired Sony F717 complets with all the lenses that I bought with it. Now it has its new owner.  

First Blog

Friday night and my wife and son are travelling couple tenth thousand miles away. What to do? I guess I give it a try writing my first blog at my tiny Samsung Q1 fully equipped with external keyboard and more. Today I retire my favourite digital camera, Sony F717 and move on to the new digital SLR camera, Canon Rebel. The main reason? The old Sony can't keep up with fast-moving 18 mos old boy. I need a real good camera that can help me to capture a lot of fun moment with my little boy. Ciao my Sony.
