Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!! It's the Year of The Rat. For me, every year is the year of the Cock :)
It's also "Tet" the Vietnamese new year. I love Tet. When I was a little kid in Viet Nam, I remembered there was yellow spring flowers everywhere... outside and inside homes. There were a lot of food.. food and more food. The adults would give out little red envelopes full of money for good luck. I was a happy little boy during Tet!
The dorky pix of me on the left is when I went to the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. It was a professional trade show so I had to make up some bogus business cards and credentials to get in. Like I said earlier, I'm a geek with half the brain. The only interesting I saw was the super thin (1/2 inch or less) flat screen TVs. Oh, and some of them are wireless! And oh, I have my eye on the new Canon Vixia HF10 which available in May at B & H... any rich daddies out there? It's on my wishlist :) I'll use it to take videos of me and my buddies and post them on this website.
While we are doing the tech talk, I just made a reservation for the Smart Car USA. Driving my Triumph Bonneville motorcycle in SF really sucks esp when it's raining... which is most of the time. They told me it's a 10 months wait... which sucks even more. Now I don't know if it's a good idea after all esp I don't know how I'm going to squeeze my 6 ft tall frame in this tiny car. "Why such a small car then?".. you may ask. I think it's a genetic thing (Asian)... I can't parallel park. LOL! Now don't send me hate mail, I'm only half kidding.

PS: New pix are in webcam section.
