We've been to Hog Island Oyster Co. restaurant in Napa. It was the best oyster in my life. We were pretty surprised when we had raw oysters because it was so fresh - no fishy taste. So, when I learned its HQ is at Tomales Bay, within two

I haven't watched Warriors' game this season more than the last season. The team didn't perform well; frankly, it seemed the team couldn't match other teams' improvements. But, recently, I had seen several insane turnovers that made up two-digit deficits in the

I mentioned that my favorite Giants player was Darin Ruf - especially in 2021. I was so sorry when he left last year. And New York was not a good place for him. When I heard the Mets designated him before the season, I thought finding a new place in

When I first heard this book's title - An Immense World, I guessed that it would be a book about the grandeur of nature - something about marvelous US National Parks. Only half was correct; it was a book about nature, but not about the spectacular or wilderness.

The MLB season opening is around the corner. I hope the 2023 Giants will be a greater team than 2021. I watched the last exhibition match at Oracle Park on TV. MLB this year has several rule changes, and the most noticeable one should be the pitch clock. The pitch

My daughter goes to an art studio for a lesson every Saturday morning. The studio is a half-hour drive away, and it wouldn't be wise to come back and forth and throw times on the road. So, I had to find a place to manage meaningful time. And

Atmospheric rivers are still torturing the Bay Area these days. I heard from many that California's high tax rate was the price for perfect weather. While preparing the 2022 tax return, I'm wondering if I could ask the IRS for a tax refund for bad weather,

Silicon Valley Bank fell down last Friday. The shocking news swirled in my company's Slack channel Friday morning. I didn't have much regard for it because I didn't have any accounts in SVB. But I realized it was not others' affair when I

World Baseball Classic began yesterday, and Korea couldn't make a good start. Baseball is a game in that even the best team could win 70% of the chances: the ball is round. Team Australia deserved the win; they threw faster balls with good command (except for the 8th

Mark Zuckerberg said that this year would be his "Year of Efficiency." Eliminating redundancies and improving efficiency by flattening sounds reasonable strategy. At least, he looks like a working CEO - although there seemed to be some back blasts. But I believe the layers in Meta haven'

My company (Moloco, Inc.) opened a new Youtube channel - MolocoLife. We had one (Moloco channel) before, but it was mainly for our clients (advertisers). This new one was more about the company culture and people - mainly for employees and new hire candidates. Even though I worked in this

It was already two months ago, but my family's last journey of 2022 was to Channel Islands National Park. I love to visit places where macOS version names came from: e.g., Yosemite, El Capitan, Mojave, Big Sur, and Monterey. And consequentially, this time was Ventura. Ventura was
