Call me a late adopter, but I have finally gotten rid of all CRTs in my house (partially as a space saving measure in preparation for our upcoming move to a smaller house, although this may just be a subconscious way of justifying the expense ). I replaced my 32″ CRT TV with a [...]
Last week I’ve had a real unfortunate experience with AT&T: Our phone line (which includes DSL) was down for a whole 4 days, from Monday morning to Friday morning. This is by far the most severe outage I have ever experienced, and suffice to say I am extremely annoyed with AT&T’s ineptitude, and their obvious [...]
Well, whining about our frustrating rental house hunt experience yesterday must have helped somehow. It turns out that the person who got the last place we applied for decided to pass on it and move to Japan instead. The property manager just called me back to offer us the place, and we’ll be signing the [...]
A while ago we decided to move to the Peninsula, preferably somewhere around San Mateo where I work, or surrounding areas like Foster City, Belmont, San Carlos, or Burlingame. We’ll be selling our house and renting for the time being, as I’m not all that confident about the real estate market - at least in [...]
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to establish free Wi-Fi Internet access for everybody in San Francisco. Parts of the city, including Union Square, already offer this service.

I would apologize for the recent lack of updates if anybody besides myself was actually reading my blog…
Anyway, we moved to our new house in San Francisco last weekend, and overall everything was pretty smooth. Of course, with two little kids it takes a lot longer to unpack everything and settle in, so [...]
We had a home inspection for our new house today, and we still love it. We need to do some fairly minor electrical upgrades and fix a few other things, but overall everything is in great shape.
We also took the opportunity to drive around a little in our neighborhood as well as adjacent neighborhoods. The [...]
We got it! Unfortunately (well, I guess fortunately, since we would not have gotten it otherwise) our initial offer was countered and we had to increase the offer amount (which was already beyond our original limit) quite a bit. Oh well… I’m trying not to think about the amount and instead be happy that we [...]
I am feeling very jittery today because we are about to make an offer on a house in San Francisco, and while the offer price is high enough that it will likely ruin us financially, we are expecting so much fierce competition about this property that the chances of actually getting it are probably fairly [...]
