Flickr

After another prodding from Nick, I’ve finally signed up to Flickr and see for myself what’s so great about it. Indeed, Flickr is so much better than TypePad’s Photo Album feature that I am hoping I’ve tried out Flickr earlier!

Two things that bug me about TypePad’s album are a) inability to choose which albums to show up in the sidebar, and b) no commenting feature on photos. Flickr handles those two issues in excellent style while providing even more management and community features.

So new photos will now be uploaded to Flickr while all the old photo albums are still available in the sidebar on Leah’s site.

Go West

Being a software developer and proficient in maths means that I am pretty good at spotting patterns, or it can be the other way round. Regardless, here is a pattern in my life that I’ve spotted. It seems that the intervals between relocation for me is a geometric progression. For those who are not familiar with geometric progression or geometric series, here is what I mean:

Time living in Hong Kong ~= 15 years
Time living in U.K. ~= 10 years
Time living in East Coast America ~= soon to be 5 years

And with our plan to move to the west coast soon (probably in the next year or so) does that mean we will be finally settling down in the west coast? Probably, at least according to maths!

Time living in West Coast America = ∞!

Will our life be peaceful there in the open air where the skies are blue?

Urbanite vs. The Rest

I’ve been trying to write this post for awhile, partly because I am lazy but mainly because I found (and still find) it difficult to articulate my thoughts on the subject.

The more I get to know the people I work with or the friends we make here in New York, the more I find that I (and to large extent Leah as well) am very different to all of them. So what is the issue? Well, the issue is multi-facet and it boils down to the following questions:

1. City vs. Suburban/countryside
2. Apartment vs. House
3. Rent vs. Buy

As you can see, although they are all inter-related there is no single defining issue that you can pin point. So let me tackle it one by one.

Should we be surprised?

Although I am shocked by this revelation, I am not surprised by Max Mosley’s behaviour as the head of FIA after this week FIA hearing with the seven Michelin teams. Nor am I surprised by Michael Schumancher’s refusal on criticising Max Mosley.
