Kidnapping in Iraq

It seems hard to believe I’ve already been home almost two months. The first two months in Kuwait seemed like two life times. These past two months seem like two weeks. Interesting, our perception of time. Another Japanese has been taken hostage in Iraq. This time a backpacker in Iraq as a tourist. I have … Read more

I’m really home

The Hawai`i vacation is over. I’m home. I have about ten days off and then I go back to Apple and resume my life as if nothing happened. The last ten months have changed, at the very least, my outlook on life. Now to the task of getting on with life. It’s hard for me … Read more

Old Dog, New Tricks

A few days ago I turned 45 years old. Wow! 45. Squarely into middle age. I even have a teenager now. Life has been good so far. I’d like to go another 45 years. I’m learning how to make QuickTime VRs. Not as hard as I thought but definitely not easy. I’m at that point … Read more

Lazy Days

We had originally planned to spend the whole day at the beach today. That’s why it rain off and on all day. We sat around the house. I worked on learning more about CSS and succeeded to some extent. I also spent some time studying the creation of QuickTime Virtual Realities using PTMac. Even made … Read more

I love this place

Went to church at Calvary Chapel Kaua`i. Wandered through the local Wal-Mart. Nothing much to talk about today. Aloha
