Last week, I visited the new Seattle office for the first time. My last visit was exactly one year ago. At the time, we were in WeWork Seattle downtown. It was already a decent tech company office, but the new office was at the tallest building in Seattle: Colombia Center.

I often said that now we had normalcy, and I was grateful that I hadn't had the disease. But early this month, I finally got Covid. My wife got it first (probably in her office), and I had it inevitably. My parents and daughter were going to go

The iPhone boasts several lesser-known features and one of my favorites is the "Silence Unknown Callers." It silently declines the call if the caller is not in my Contacts. Yes, I have a chance to miss a call, but they will leave a voice message if it is

My daughter (8th Grader) is in the school symphonic band for one of her elective courses. The band is primarily for enjoyment, instead of striving for professional competition, which may be the impression given after watching the Sound! Euphonium anime. However, there is one time of year when I feel

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

The 49ers proceeded to NFC Championship this past Sunday. It was a tight game, but (again) we saw another dramatic winning, as Chris Branch from The Athletic said. I need a full documentary on the (final 45 sec) drive. Dallas has lost its last seven divisional round games and somehow

It's been a while now, but We've been to San Diego at the end of last year. The great weather would be the greatest pride of the Bay Area. But it had been a little different story this winter, and we wanted to have a year-end

What has made Silicon Valley so special? Many (including me) say it is thanks to its excellent weather. I also believe that Bay Area's comfy climate and always blue skies make people positive; it is the source of Silicon Valley's innovation. However, entering 2023, we have

It's 2023. I was surprised to realize that 30 years had passed since I got to college. I've seen many debates about engineers in their 40s. Many times it sounds silly or meaningless, but even to me, entering my 50s soon gets me into a complicated

My 2022 resolution was to write at least one blog post a week. Though I couldn't keep the phase, I wrote more than 60 articles this year. So, I've achieved my goal overall. Recently, I stopped using Twitter; I might use this place more like using

I attended Programmatic IO 2022 NY last month. It was my first time in NYC and even my first in the US East. I arrived at SFO around 5 am, a little tired but also excited. The airport was already full of people. It's already normal; I couldn&

Every October in the Bay Area starts with Fleet Week SF. It is now a family ritual to visit the SF Pier area during the Fleet Week season, and I can tell the highlight of the event is the air show by Blue Angels. This year, we wanted to have
