Sunday, July 27th, 2008

J and I headed up to SF on Saturday with no clear itinerary in mind.  It was a beautiful weekend, the weather was gorgeous in the city, and we ended up doing things that can all be categorized as yuppie. Drove up to SF...in a Prius Walked around the Marina and looked ...

Cuil - Page Not Found!

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Since I have TechCrunch and Search Engine Land in my Google Reader, I was able to quickly discover from both sources that Cuil launched within the past hour. Cuil claims to have an index of 121,617,892,992 web pages.  Spiffy!  Before doing an actual search, I clicked around... Let's check out those "About ...

Famous Yokoyama’s (according to YouTube)

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Yokoyama literally translates into "side mountain", so I guess that explains my love for the outdoors.  Anyway, I was bored tonight so I thought I'd snoop around YouTube to see if any other Yokoyama's existed out there in the world who had some notoriety. Note - besides my immediate family, I ...

Yoga

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

With a sore knee and a great on-campus gym, I decided to sign-up for a monthly pass to attend the daily group exercise classes offerred.  Most of the sessions are too early (7-8am) or not what I'm really interested in (bosu boost?), but with some moral support from Jenny, I've ...

What $1 gets you

Biking off the Taco Bell

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

I think I killed my cravings for Taco Belly by eating it for lunch AND dinner on Sunday.  Their steak chalupas are so good!  I guess I do feel a little better, having gone out for a bike ride: My MotionBased GPS data of the ride has me at 20.57 miles ...

Photo Update #4 - Coppermine up and running!

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

I think I'm going to be a big fan of Coppermine.  You can now find my photos here: http://www.reidyokoyama.com/photos/ I'm being more careful about uploading photos this time, taking the time to caption when appropriate and making sure the organization works well.  Whoever looks at my photos should be able to add ...

Meh, DAlbum is not well supported and I think I've found a better gallery script to use: Coppermine Gallery Anyway, over the next few days I'll try to have this script up and running.  Sorry that I've changed my mind so quickly =p
