Seattle is not so business friendly

4月

7日

Seattle ranked No.8 in the most expensive city for business travelers. We are just behind Chicago, but we are more expensive than cities like Miami, San Jose, Honolulu and Los Angles. I wonder how it compares to say Tokyo, Seoul or Beijing.

Interesting web design idea

4月

7日

When I was shopping for my chair on the web site, POPUP appeared on the screen asking me if I wanted to speak to sales representative. I was really curious and clocked "yes". Another window opened (pictured) and ask me to enter phone number. When I enter the number, they called me right away.

This is a very interesting feature and it does not require a lot of programming. I will keep this feature in mind when we present a shopping site development.

By the way, the person called me was not a lady on this picture ... His name was Joe ,,, I was disappointed.

Birthday Tomorrow

According to the story, "ASTRO BOY" was born on April 7, 2003 in Japan.

Like 2001 and 2010 Space Odyssey, people thought mankind would have advanced enough to go outer space and create a robot capable of thinking.

Well, we did not get here.

Instead the best selling robot is the little box that sweep the floor and farthest mankind ever been was to the moon 41 years ago.

It is kind of sad, isn't it?

Happy birthday ASTRO!

I am not in Las Vegas.

My credit card was declined this morning. I checked with the VISA and found out the my credit card number was attempt to be used in BEST BUY and SHELL GAS STATION late last night in Las Vegas.

VISA noticed and set a block on my credit card. Looks like they create a replicate of my credit card with someone else name. Those transactions will be reimbursed. Where do they get my number?

I wonder who is paying for those charges. Because I am not.

I have filed a patent to prevent something like this from happening. I hope the patent will be granted and someone adopts it.

Do not upgrade your BackBerry

4月

2日

Yesterday, I perform the upgrade of my BlackBerry firmware 4.7 to 5.0. During the upgrade, it lost the connection to the host computer and failed to boot up. After struggling for a while, it came back and the upgrade was done.

But when I started the BB, it lost all data plan including Browser and email. I had to call Verizon to get a technical support. I run *288 option 2 and do the hardware reset by taking the battery out. It was a lot of work and as far as I see there in nothing new. Besides, I lost the ability to view Japanese on the web and email.

What kind of upgrade is this?

If you have BB, do not upgrade to 5.0. If you are thinking of buying BB, iPhone or Android will be a better phone. Sorry RIM (Research in Motion), BB sucks.

To protect a bird

4月

We have placed metal nets to prevent birds from coming into the intake pipes of the generators. I do not want to see any birds sucked in.

We asked PSR (Puget Sound Refrigeration) to do this, and they came and did it very next day.
