Parents Against Junk Food
I survived on popcorn, soda and pizza through high school (that was, until my mom found out and started making ham sandwiches for me). But I was lucky and had a solid breakfast and dinner every day. What about the kids who don’t have good eating role models at home? Seems like they’ll be doomed…

Vancouver Weekend
Kei and I spent the weekend in Vancouver, BC, attending a wedding for one of her friends, Sue. We visited the Kintaro Ramen house when we were there. It was everything I imagined (and possibly more as I’ve been on a low carb diet). Here is a brief video…

Mount Pugh
bugs-and-che Originally uploaded by ekraay. Kei, Karl, Carol and hiked up Mount Pugh on Sunday. These are Karl’s photos. I left my camera battery in the charger. Idiot! We left Seattle in the big blue egg, Karl’s new Previa, around 6 am. We got to the trailhead around 8:45. We climbed a couple thousand feet…

Google adding face recognition technology to Picasa
They caught the famous MIT Blackjack team with it, now they want to introduce it to Picasa. Google announced that it was going to bring face facial recognition software technology to photos, so I can automatically find all photos with Grandma in them, for instance. Very slick.
