10 years ago, in April, Apple release 20th Anniversary Macintosh. It really was ahead of its time. It had LCD display, BOSE sound system, and frontloading CD player …

Now there is talk about Apple possibly releasing 30th Anniversary Macintosh this month. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Patio bench and tables are delivered and installed today. They are designed and built by Seattle Iron Design Center (www.irondesigncenter.com), another fine Seattle Executive Association member company. The president and his crew did such a wonderful job, we are afraid someone might steal them.

We are having Seattle Executives Association in two days. They finished just in time for that event. Thank you, Tim Sharp.

PSPINC was mentioned in April Issue of Master Builder Magazine for its participation in Puget Sound Energy’s Green Energy Program. We did not about this Green Energy program until one of the engineers told us about it. It was no brainer that we decided to participate.

As a operator of data center with hundreds of servers, we use a lot more energy than most companies of our size. So, it is only fair to participate in this program to give something back to the society and environment.

I had to go to the bank after the lunch. One of my banks is Bank of America and their branch in downtown Bellevue is this building. The building is called PACCAR Building. I know the name for along time but I never thought this is the world HQ for PACCAR, Inc.

When you think of Seattle, you think of Boeing, Microsoft, Nordstrom … but you never think about PACCAR. I knew PACCAR started here, but I never thought their HQ is still here in Bellevue. WOW.

This is another company that I would love to work with.

I had lunch with Jeff Riley, CEO of Dinerware. Dinerware is a new member of Seattle Executives Association which my company is a member since 2003.

Dinerware develops and distributes Point of Sales (POS) system for restaurants. He told me the company has grown 50% last year. That is amazing. They now have distribution in Canada, Europe and Australia. I will take a look at their system to see if we can help them distribute their system in Japan and Korea.

I went to IKEA this morning. Because I have a dog and I did not want to leave my dog in the car in the sun. IKEA has a covered parking which is cool. The picture shows the food we had a IKEA. The breakfast in the right is only $1.99 … Great deal. I had meatballs, mashed potato and salad for $6.49.

I guess I will use IKEA a lot more as it get hot in Seattle. Does anyone know any restaurant that has a great shaded place to park the car with a dog inside?

I felt it i not for me. I don't understand it, nor I want to. So I closed my twitter account. I don't get it.So, good bye little blue bird!

I had a Chicken Caesar Wrap at Red Robin last night. I guess the Caesar Wrap was not too bad bat the stake fries weren’t too good for my diabetes. My blood sugar was high this morning. I should not have eaten those fries.

But those fries were sure good. Why is that everything that tastes so good are bad for your health? Anyhow, I guess I will stay away from the fries for a while.
