Is it just me or things are getting cheaper. For instance, this is Denny's $4 breakfast.

All business are trying to make ends meet by cutting every cost, cutting prices without cutting services. Governments are increasing the cost (raising tax) while cutting services. What is wrong with this picture.

It took more than 24 hours, but I migrated everything from iMac to Mac Pro. With quad CPU and 8GB of memory, it has power to do almost anything.

We were awarded 65th fastest growing company by Puget Sound Business Journal last night. PSBJ announced that this was our second awards, but we were actually awarded once in 1997 making this our third.

1997 award was a fluke. We sold some server hardware back then for three months. We stop selling hardware. That was too risky.

There is an adult video store targeting Japanese tourists in Honolulu. But in this Internet age, why would you need to go to a store and buy those videos (DVDs). This is business is dying because of the Internet.

I took this picture in Honolulu last week.

I don't understand this. Why would you buy a gift certificate at the price that is higher than the face value of the card. It is like a buying $100 bill for over $100.

I purchased refurbished Mac Pro and it arrived last Friday. I did not have time to setup, so I started unpacking today. I got to the point it is boot up and stopped. I wanted three upgrades to be done before I go any farther.

(1) Upgrade memory from 4GB to 8GB
(2) Add 1TB hard disk
(3) Upgrade OS from 10.5 to 10.6

I ordered everything I mentioned above and will arrive later this week or early next week. It will be one bad computer when all the upgrades are done.

Do I miss Hawaii?

If I say "No", it will be a lie, but if I live in Hawaii, I would not now how good Hawaii is. Besides, the weather here is not that bad. I can work better here.
