An Apple with a Homepage!!!

Those are what I bought for PSPinc this morning.
Red apples are more than $1.50 each...

I went to Safeway this morning to buy some bagels and apples. I grabbed red and green apples in the plastic bags and did not check the prices. One bag costs $12.00 ... Wow.

When I returned, one of my staff told me that this apple has an website.

Must be one heck of an apple. I ate the green one ... but that was 1/2 the price.

Virtual Reality is Not Cheap!!!

HTC VIVE

Required Graphics Card
Source http://www.vive.com

Currently, HTC vive is considered one of the best VR (Virtual Reality) headset in the market. I am working on setting up VR in PSPinc. I purchased high-end laptop to host HTC vive unit. Well, I tested the Laptop with compatibility test. Although the PC has NAVIDIA GeForce 640M graphics with 4GB ram ... it was not good enough to connect HTC vive.

I found the list of graphics card that is required by HTC vive ... The graphics card alone costs $500 to $1,200 ... This is incredible. So, I ended up dishing out almost twice as I spend on the last laptop for the new laptop. Wow!!!

Your Flash is Outdated ...

Mar

https://www.malwarebytes.com

Today, I was doing some browsing and I got a message which appears to be from Adobe asking me to update the Flash. Stupid of me, I updated it. Well, I just install a malware / adware / virus on my Mac for the first time.

Took me all afternoon to come across software call Malwarebytes ... I had to disable JAVA on my Safari browser to install this software. I run it and the virus is gone.

Don't ever trust the message you see on the internet.

6 Years ago today, March 11, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and the 33 foot tall tsunami hit northeast side of Japan killing 15,859 people with 2,000 people still missing. I lost my daughter on January 25 of that year. I can relate to all the families who lost their loved ones.

Mayumi found the poem and she shared with me. I dedicate this poem for people who lost their loved ones on this day. Let me be myself for one day a year. I cannot cry by myself but I can do this with all the other people. Don't be sad for me. The end will come to everyone. So, live the life to the fullest like it was your last day.

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's
okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Sprain ... Nothing was broken ... Relief!!!

Mar

After couple of days of dealing with pain, I finally went to an Urgent Care near my house. The place was clean and check-in was computerized and quick. They took x-ray right away and doctor saw me with few minuets. I was great.

The good news is that there seems to nothing broken. It is a bad case of sprain. I got a boot and crutches for next few days. Thank you everyone for asking me to go to the doctor. I till have pain but I feel much better knowing nothing is broken.

PS: I really like the Urgent care ... I just walked in without any appointment. here is no emergency bill either.
