Claiming ownership of my blog on Technorati

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

So I found out my blog was crawled and listed on Technorati (via Google Webmaster Tools) so I figured, why not go over to Technorati and at least claim ownership of my blog? Unfortunately, claiming ownership forces you to pick between security and stupidity. Method 1: Security - to make ...

If you've got a minute, take this short awareness test. I hope you'll find it as fascinating as I did.

Still sore

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

I went with coworkers to Sky High Sports in Santa Clara for a team offsite. It's a great trampoline place where you can play dodgeball or jump into a foam pit. Jumping around is really tiring and on Sunday, I'm still sore from all the activity. I ...

I drive a hybrid. I am old, emotionally sensitive, and highly creative.

Friday, March 14th, 2008

My friend Nelson was nice enough to share with me an interesting article through Google Reader this week. He follows the AmazonGreen Scene's blog. The blog profiled an article by the Environmental Leader that analyzed the 'mindset' of Hybrid owners. Since the results from the article were ...

American Idol Season 7: David Hernandez is Gone

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

An over-the-top performance of "I Saw Her Standing There" proved costly for David Hernandez, as he was sent packing tonight. He was in my bottom two and I correctly called that Syesha Mercado and Kristy Lee Cook rounded out the bottom three. Syesha was good but had the ...

Review of the Day on Yelp!

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

March 12, 2008 will go down in history as the day Reid Yokoyama made Review of the Day on Yelp. Never mind that it was only for Palo Alto, where it seems nobody writes reviews (since this review was posted on 2/2/08) and that it was about Anthropologie, which ...

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

It's now a free-for all between the men and women and wow, tonight's performances really shook up the pecking order. It was Beatles week, and having all contestants perform on the same night really showed the strengths of the males and the work all of the women need to ...

America’s Obsession with Bottled Water

Monday, March 10th, 2008

I remember when bottled water became mainstream some ten years ago. I thought, "how silly - who would end up paying $3 at a ballpark for water?" Little did I know, bottled water would be akin to some health craze; where having one in your hand represented some ...

Bike Ride - March 9, 2008

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Wilmot and I went out for part deux of riding Steven's Canyon road. I brought along my handheld GPS to try and track the route (and make a blog post out of it). Unfortunately, we rode out to Steven's Canyon Road to find that it was closed. ...

Placing an icon (favicon) in the address bar

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

I got really excited about making this change to my blog: If you look at my site now, the address bar should show you a little icon that looks like this: It's called a favicon. All the major websites have one, since it provides an easy way to associate branding ...
