The recruiter saw her shadow so that means I have to re-apply for the Support Engineer gig again in six weeks. It’s a pisser but not really a surprise after all my years of service with Apple, I’ve often been … Continue reading →

Our friend who moved away to New York state celebrates her birthday today! I think Melia may be a little pre-occupied with the new son she gave birth to last year but I’m confident the other family members will spoil … Continue reading →

Besides having the incredibly easy-to-remember birthdate of 1-2-3, I am now jealous of Cindy for getting to have this prime-number birthday during what most calendars state is Chinese New Year. I guess the traditional Chinese calendar is Lunar based because … Continue reading →
