out of town

last weekend we took taylor "out of town" for the first time. nancy said it was her practice for going to taiwan with taylor in mid oct. first my church had a jbed (joint board of elders and deacons) retreat on friday night. then we were off to knoxville for sunday nite to see my college buddy neal. we had a chance to drive thru the great smoky mtn on the way back to atlanta.

100 days 3 years..

taylor's 100 days birthday was on last monday. i think in chinese they call it "100 yrs old". both of our families came out to celebrate. i think this may be the first time since our wedding that both of our parents have gotten together, exactly 3 years ago. all the pictures above were taken when we were 100 days old. which is who?

ketchup

i cannot believe dolce group stole my idea. they just opened 'ketchup' in east LA. anyone know how i can get a painting similar to the one they got in that restaurant (see gallery)?

California-like weather

on sat it was absolutely gorgeous outside. nancy called it the CA-like weather. about 80 degrees (F) high - the fall is probably my favorite season in atl, except the fact that i'll have to rake leafs later this fall. before heading out for dinner with the warco's and hsu's, we stopped by chastain park nearby our house.

after we walked around the park for 1+ mile, nancy asked me if we were almost there. haha. she actually complained of back pains later that night. may be she needs to rake some of the leaves again this fall.




also grandpa so visited taylor for the first time from HK.

.mac

sorry i haven't been blogging much lately. i've been real busy at work. for the past week i've been pondering about what to do with all the pictures i posted and shared on the web now that imagastation is going away.

i will probably transfer all my photos to shutterfly as imagestation is offering to do. looking at flickr, seems like it's pretty neat, but not so sure that if the free account is suitable. hmm.. should i be cheap like mike where i only post the best pics on flickr and use a free account somewhere else? or pay $25 for flickr pro account?

man, looking at .mac i am very intrigued. for the past few months i've been playing with iphoto more on my mac and just been able to use a lot of its neat features. it's got web photo/movie gallery, web hosting incl blogging, email/group emails, idisk, backup, and it syncs between your iphoto to the gallery automatically (and to your other macs or iphone). hmm.. iphone. but do i want to pay $99 a year? haha.

imagestation

omg, found out earlier this week that imagestation.com is going away. i've been using imagestation all these time. i do have the option of transferring all my pictures to shutterfly. but still this really sucks - i think i have to relink all my pictures in this blog to shutterfly.

anyone is using shutterfly? any feedback? i know many of you use Flickr - maybe i will sign one up. is Flickr the best option out there?
