This is how I upgraded my Mac's hard disk drive from 120GB to 320GB. It took 5 Hours.

I belong to an association called SEATTLE EXECUTIVES ASSOCIATION. It is a 90-year-old business networking and lead generation organization. We joined the association in 2003. They are dynamic and very active organization.

However, most businesses are very slow (including ourselves) to act when it comes to using the Internet for business such as blogging. So, to help people jumpstart, we announced that we are putting together an hour seminar on how to open and maintain BLOGURU tomorrow. We are having the open house tomorrow 4 to 7pm for Seattle Executives Association. And the seminar will be 3 to 4pm. I was expecting handful of people to sign up. But as of tonight, we now have 18 people signed up. WOW. I now really prepare for it.

I will let you know how it went tomorrow.

Patio Upgrade

Apr

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.

GONE GREEN!

Apr

7

PSPINC was mentioned in April Issue of Master Builder Magazine for its participation in Puget Sound Energys 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.

Another Company

Apr

6

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.

Lunch with CEO

Apr

6

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.

Breakfast at IKEA.

Apr

5

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 have opened the account in twitter.com and used it for two days. I watched videos about twittering and tried to understand the meaning of it.

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!
