A great story about Earvin "Magic" Johnson →
One of my first loves I had was watching NBA games and being a die-hard Lakers fan. I was lucky enough to watch Magic play for a couple years before retirement. For the sake of the holiday season, this story is worth sharing. :)
Just finished getting an e-mail update out. Feel much better now. Cross my fingers for a healthy back this weekend for the move!
Too many errands to do - need to get my oxygen replaced tomorrow! Haircut in sac now.

Yahoo! mail dominates Gmail... but it doesn't mean...
I read a post on TechCrunch about how much Yahoo! mail dominates Gmail mainly because Google came into the game so late. I paused for a moment and thought, “Yahoo… still a market leader is many categories in terms of mass users.” Later on, I ended up having to log into my Yahoo! mail account as I had to create a username to read the NY Times (dump my spam here). This time I...

Kayak continues its stomp! Acquires rival...
Michael Arrington of TechCrunch first broke the story of startup travel meta search engine company, Kayak acquiring rival company SideStep. While I won’t bore you with the details (and you can read it here), I’m excited for them! I first learned about Kayak from The Big Idea by Donny Deutsch. Initially, I remembered I brushed it off thinking they were another expedia or orbitz. But,...
BlackBerry Rocks!
One of the things I’ve learned from reading about investing is to start with investing in companies that you have a personal connection to. By investing in companies that make products you love, it’s more likely other folks like it, too. So which company have I been investing in lately? You see it all over my posts. Research in Motion (RIMM). I switched over to using a BlackBerry Pearl...
RockBand Rocks!
Here’s another investing thought: I’ve never been a big video game player — I never had the opportunity to play games when I grew up and I rather opted to play sports for recreational. But, I must say, this game has me hooked. I know Guitar Hero has a big leg up on RockBand (6M sales to 1M sales), but I’m a believer that once RockBand comes out with their version for the...
Just left the office and eating dinner at osaka’s. Long blog post ahead on tumblr late tonight.

Scouring the internet to find a good deal at Las Vegas for the group. I think I found one. :)

Why Early Stage Venture Fail →
I can’t help myself — I read these type of articles when steering the direction of this team… business brainstorming time.

First post, brainwashed by avc.blogs.com :)
Wordpress takes a lot of time to manage. Between juggling duties in this web application development company (administrative and accounting tasks, contributing to the startup project, providing client support, and getting ready for the company move to near South Bay), the personal life, the car-related issues, and the holiday season nearing, it is nearly impossible to keep updated both a personal...
