If you happened to be here last night, you probably witnessed an awesome worship night with Hillsong United.

Without going into too much details of last night, I strongly encourage everyone to listen for yourself. Check out www.hillsongunited.com and YouTube/HillsongUnited.

Thank you for all of your prayers and friendships and to that, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

“⁶Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6

I AM looking forward to the long weekend. It's been a busy week at work...more of that later.

My best friend Arv is visiting for Memorial weekend from L.A. and Sandy and I are looking forward to catch up with him and his wife--they are expecting a new baby girl, their first. Congrats bro!

Early Saturday we'll be having a BBQ at my dad's place and my sister, a soon-to-be owner of Goomba's Pizza in Cupertino, will be the grillmaster. And then at night she'll make dinner, a three course meal. I'm so looking forward to that, playing with the nieces and nephews, and maybe throw the football around with my brothers.

Sundy, after church Sandy and I will try to catch the latest Pirates movie with my smallgroup. It's been awhile since I saw a film at the theater.

Enjoy the break y'all and have a safe and relaxing Memorial weekend.

My second day at the Web 2.0 Expo and this time around, it is much better, I think. Some of the classes were very informative, one in particular offered a lot of practical ideas. I wished I had more time to hang out and just check out all the companies and their products now that I have an idea of what they do, but alas I have to meet up with a friend for a GS Warriors game vs. Dallas tonight.

Arrgh...wireless connection is so slow right now since everyone is out on their session break and these routers are probably being hit pretty serverely. FREE comes with a price, yes?

Not sure if I have time to come back tomorrow but then again...Weds. are "work at home" days.

I'm beat!

Ajax, RSS, EC2, SaaS, AWS, RFP...If you know what that means, you belong here with me. Here meaning the Web 2.0 Expo in SF.

At times I'm wondering what am I doing here? I haven't done anything in Ajax yet although if you're developing for the web or interested in ui design, Web 2.0 terms like Ajax and those above are like the in language. To be truthful, I'm not quite sure what those lingos mean either, but I'm sure I'll be using in someday.

Anyways, the free t-shirts from the Expo are pretty nice, and of course all those darn neat-o "Beta" demos. It's so sexy these web 2.0 products!

In any case this has been a pretty exhausting day and I'm ready to just go home and sleep.

I saw this in the journal and quickly used wikipedia to learn a bit more about this thing called "chinglish". Apparently there are plenty of these "lost in translation" signs which the Chinese government are irritated enough to do something about (translation, the 2008 Olympic). These signs if anything, are entertaining, albeit in a nonsensical-esoteric sort of way.

Jay Leno's would love these for his "Headlines."

This one cracks me up. More below:

[disclaimer: you may find these offensive, and the author does not subscribe to these humors, except on randomn days. If you see other funny signs like these, it would be fabulous for you to share them.]

Last night, a few of us went to watch Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman performed at SJSU Event Center. The concert was amazing. I have been looking forward to this concert since a month back and had tickets for just as long. So when Sunday night came along, I was pretty excited for the concert. As it turned out, Sunday was also a pretty long day starting with teaching KidZone at church, then the service, moving onto set breakdown, then going to Barnes & Noble to get Freakonomics (thnx Alison for the Teacher's discount), drove back home to meet friends to carpool to the concert, grabbed dinner at La Vic in San Jose, then onto the concert, drove the carpoolers home, read emails, and went to bed.

Despite the long long day, last night was really worth it. It was awesome worshipping God in such a large environment, singing with Chris Tomlin/Matt Redman, and hearing Louis Giglio speak. How beautiful is our God!
