My daughter handed me my old check book from over 20 years ago. I found a lot of things and I will post them. For today, I am posting my check from my past. I used to love this bank.

I dropped my iPhone 6 Plus this morning while I was walking my dog. (It may be other way round.) It cracked the glass (that is what I thought). Luckily, I had screen protector ... and when I peeled it, there is not even a scratch on the iPhone. I need to buy it again.

Upgrade Your PC

For example you can get 240GB SSD for less than $80.
I bought this 360GB SSD for about $400 few years back.
The price has came down quite a bit.

No, I am not asking you to buy a new PC. As a matter of fact, there are things you can do to your PC that makes your PC screaming fast at not much money.

(1) If you can upgrade your memory.

If you have 4GB or less on your PC, you should consider upgrading it to 8GB. If you already have 8GB, you can upgrade to 16GB but it is not necessary.

(2) Swap your hard disk drive to SSD

SSD (Solid State Drive) is a type of storage device that is compatible with hard disk drive but made out of memory. It is several times faster than ordinary hard disk drive.

Memory and SSD used to be vey expensive but nowadays, you can get those for very reasonable price. Instead of waiting minutes for booting up, your PC will will boot up in seconds. You can start your application program in few seconds as well.

Those upgrades can be performed DIY but if you need help, contact me. You will be happy with your computer again.

Ramen Boom

Few years ago, I went to Tsukiji (Tokyo), famous for the fish market, and I found this Ramen place called "Inoue". I don't know if I came call this a restaurant because this restaurant has no place to eat except the standing on the sidewalk. But this is a very popular place where people lined up to order ... all day.

Seattle is currently under Ramen boom and there are a few ramen restaurants but they are all expensive. I wish there is some place like this. But I doubt this restaurant pass the Department of Health Inspection.
