Tiffany and I had a blast at Charo’s CD Release party. It was great to see our friends as well as meet some new people and a few celebrities as well. It certainly was a highlight of the year for me and hopefully there will be many, many more to come!!
June 6, 2008Tomorrow night, I will be a guest at Charo’s house in Beverly Hills. What a long strange trip it has been from my Cuchi-Cuchi Hawaiian Style party in 1996 to this point. I am excited and I don’t know what to expect, but Tiffany will be accompanying me and I will have my camera so look for some photos in the next few days. Work…
June 4, 20082008 Dir: Steven Spielberg These days, it is not very often that I will actually go and see a movie in the theaters, let alone on opening day. The movie experience in LA/OC just is not what it used to be. It is over $10 to see a movie now in the theater and then you have to deal with punks that talk through the…
May 23, 2008Things are settling down nicely here at Club Josh. After a month or so of stress over a project I was working on at work, it is finally done and presented. The past few months, I was in the Emerging Leader program at Disneyland which is a way that the resort trains its new Managers. It is a very challenging and rewarding program and I…
May 6, 2008My hand was forced, and after much deliberation, I finally decided to part ways with my much-loved 2002 CR-V and upgrade to a new 2008 CR-V. As much as I wanted to upgrade to the EX, I stuck with the LX since I decided I didn’t need the extra fluff. (They do have an outside temperature guage on the EX – probably the only thing…
April 28, 2008After six years of reliable service, I upgraded my CR-V to a 2008 model. Here is to six more fun years. I just hope this one is as much fun and I enjoy it as much as my beloved 2002. More later…
April 28, 2008This next week should be full of fun and challenges. My final presentation at work is on Wednesday, and I finally received the new HTML template for the new Charo web site. I still need to get a new suit, practice some more, and just generally relax to prepare. On the Charo side, I mainly need to do some cutting and pasting as well as…
April 27, 2008If you have read my entries from my last vacation, you will know that my old digital camera had this issue with losing the reference to some photos resulting in them vanishing from the ether. After doing some research, I found a software application that recovers such files of digital media. I was stoked that I was able to recover most of the lost photos…
April 26, 2008I had heard about this awhile back, but Paul brought it back into my attention and I read more into it: It’s called the Quake Catcher, and its centered out of Stanford and UC Riverside. Basically they use laptops that have accelerometers and if there is an earthquake with a 4.0M or larger, it collects movement data and transfers it to the servers. It sounds…
April 24, 2008You know you are killing time when you start to pick up things around the house and cleaning. I am working on a presentation and every now and then I get distracted and wander off and I have to force myself to get back to it. Posting on my blog is another thing I do when I should be doing something else. Hmm maybe I…
