Funny that I'm so exhausted from a week that's relatively lightweight.
Monday and Tuesday have been jam-packed with meetings. Tonight was also the GoogleDance, where I got a pretty awesome flip-card with some co-workers and demoed Webmaster Tools for an hour.
Tomorrow, I'm attending SES San Jose and going out to dinner ...

I'm 99.9% moved into my new place in Santa Clara. I feel it's appropriate to liken my experience to the Jefferson's theme song, "Movin' on up", which you best watch right now:
This is partially true, except the whole part about moving all your things is that it's a royal pain ...

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.

Today, I did the work thing, got an REI membership, and played GTA IV.
One year ago, I packed for a trip to China and Thailand.
Two years ago, I moved into my new dorm room and went through RA training for Summer Research College.
Three years ago, I went with Jenny down ...

Today was an interesting day. Some of our tools were scheduled to go under maintenance today, but I did some checking throughout the day and found that they weren't. The office was surprisingly empty throughout the day (where did everyone go??) and I don't think anyone wanted to tell our ...

I don't understand why mail-in rebates exist. Why not give you the rebate up front, when you purchase a product? I suppose the asinine reasoning is that the process and time required to mail-in a rebate is so frustrating that many consumers will simply choose to forgo this ...

Boy oh boy, it was an action packed weekend of fooding, driving, and walking. To recount:
1. Relay for Life - thanks for Koklynn for setting this up! Koklynn, Nelson, Wysz, Charlene, and I joined Team Google for the 3AM to 6AM shift of the 24 hour walk to raise money ...

End of March. In lieu of some substantive post, let me comment on a few things that have happened recently.
1. My memory card for my camera finally came today. And to revise my previous post, I'm blaming UPS for the package mishap, not Amazon.com. I plan ...

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 ...

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 ...
