I just love my cuties. They always manage to pick me up when I’m down.

We were at Asahi, our favorite Japanese restaurant. When asked what she’s doing with a chopsticks and a cup of water, she says she’s fishing.

I just read that Google’s Nexus One only sold about 1/10th of iPhone and Droid during its first 74 days since the introduction. Obviously, this is a monumental failure, there’s no argument there. What I don’t understand is that people are saying that this is due to lack of advertisement.

Are you that stupid?

If you think about it, Google put the best phone on the market on the network nobody’s using. It is a phone after all, and they could’ve made a killing picking up all the people pissed off with AT&T, including me. Trust me, it’s not about advertising when my family knows about Nexus One.

The way I see it, it’s not the Nexus One that will kill iPhone, but it’s the AT&T in US.

It appears that we’re having another girl. It’s not 100% confirmed, but it’s clear from recent two ultrasound, we’re having a girl. By the way, I do know how to read the ultrasound. Either way, she’s healthy and both Yuchin and I are extremely excited.

What’s interesting is that Riley is top sibling name of Sydney.

It’s extremely difficult to photograph Ellen smiling. As far as I know, I’m the only one can do it since it takes tremendous effort; the effort that can only be made by a father. My wife and I thought it would be worth it to give it a try. After all, it is normal to take a class picture.

This is how my lovely daughter pays me back for making her take a picture when she doesn’t want to.

Ever since iPod came to market, every new music device was touted as the “iPod” killer without making any dent in its dominance. The same thing has happened to iPhone as well. The challengers include, Android, Palm Pre, Blackberry Storm, and number of Windows CE/PocketPC phones.

Just released Droid phone from Motorola is a new challenger in dethroning the iPhone. Well, is it?

As far as I see it, it’s no longer about the iPhone. What will kill the iPhone is not the phone, but the network it’s on, AT&T. I had no choice but to get a Blackberry from Verizon so that I can in fact use the phone functionality. I still have iPhone as a music and video player.

What about the apps?

Any apps that require a network connection simply does not work consistently enough to be useful. I found that my Twitter client and the Facebook app do not work unless I’m on WiFi. If this is the case, why not just go with iPod Touch?

I see more and more people divorcing iPhone, and like me, carrying two phones. The timing is perfect for Motorola and Verizon to take over. It’s really up to the leadership of Verizon and Motorola, and that’s the biggest problem. The leaders in both companies do not possess a half brain required.
