I noticed my blog has been really technically heavy lately. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that I took a position as a “Computer Scientist” at BiggerBoat recently, and I’m on a very steep learning curve of new technologies (Hadoop, HBase, Nutch, Mahout to name a few).
I’m beginning to see this blog as really being about documenting/recording what I’ve been doing so I can remember later. Who knows, maybe even some friends/family are reading! Technical HOWTOs and pasted scripts fit the blog manifest nicely, but so do some other things like:
- Having Sing and Chih Fen as house guests for the last 2 weeks
- Going to a Brian Wilson Concert (+ fireworks) at the Hollywood Bowl on the 12th. Synopsis: Beach Boys music is still awesome. Brian Wilson has a lot less energy than when I saw the Beach Boys at Tivoli Gardens in 2001 and needs to be put out to pasture.
- Checking out the Steve Kuhn/Steve Swallow/Al Foster trio at the Jazz Bakery on Friday. Also went by Father’s Office (next door) for the first time. Really enjoyed the Woodchuck Cider. Need to go back to try the Kanpachi Ceviche.
Check out some of Ling’s and Sing’s recent photos on Flickr. I haven’t been running with them too much (working), but they’ve been having a good time.
