California Lovin'

Where else in this country can you go from:


Watching a radiant sunset and balancing on a rock (ala Karate Kid) at a beautiful beach to...


Snowboarding in fluffy powder a week later.

I have been really missing snowboarding, so yesterday I went on my own to Snowboard at Sierra at Tahoe. I took the Bay Area Ski Bus straight up to Tahoe. The problem was the bus left Sunnyvale at 4:15am, meaning I had to get up at 2:45am to get ready and make sure I didn't miss the bus. The 4.5 hour trip on the bus was a bit cramped but we got to watch Taladega Nights and The Weather Man, so that made the time pass really quickly.
I didn't expect the conditions to be as good as they were. But I guess its been so cold that the snow has stayed pretty fluffy. I was really gung-ho yesterday and snowboarded for 6 hours straight from 9am-3pm with only a fifteen minute break for a Cliff Bar boost. Going in the Singles line made things soo nice, I just kept going on the lift with barely any wait. I also semi-accidentally caught air while snowboarding too. I didn't think I was going fast enough, but I did manage to grab 5-6 inches of air and land it too.. woooohooo...
More snowboarding pleeeeeaaassseeeee....!!!

Wedding photos

Definitely NOT Uploaded from Danvin's mobile.

I had the privilege of being the 'candid' photographer at my friends Stacie and Artie's wedding.
Honestly, it was the best wedding I've ever been part of. Everything went smoothly, ceremony was nice and short, the DJ kept the party moving all night.
Here are some pics from the wedding (some meaning 172 out of 905)... I really liked the way they're turning out.

CONGRATS ARTIE AND STACIE!!!

Father/son

My dad came up this week to attend Macworld. It was alot of fun to show him and the world the iPhone, my current project. It sounds like everyone else is liking it too. :)
Dad and I got to spend lots of good quality time together in the valley and also in SF. Above is a shot of us in front of the Apple campus. And in grand SF fashion, our street car got evacuated because there was a war protest on Market St.
Welp, back to work on the iPhone so that you guys have something to buy in June :)

Switchfoot on Letterman

Here is a video from Switchfoot's performance of Oh! Gravity on Letterman last night.
They look like they're having a lot of fun with this song. Check out Chad going crazy on the drums.

Parents defend decision to keep girl a child.. (What the heck...)

Seattle parents instructed doctors to remove their daughters uterus, appendix and still-forming breasts. This will stunt her growth making it easier to take care of her in the future. read more | digg story

Is it just me, or is there something really wrong here...
This sounds like some weird Frankensteinien experiment on this girl. :/
