Another post about Hail in Castro Valley

Ok. This seems to be an ongoing theme on my blog about the crazy weather we've been experiencing. Yes, it's spring time! April showers bring May flowers. Now April hail showers bring us wet icy roads!

We live on a rather steep hill. The icy hail has visited us. Icy thick hail = out of control cars coming down the hill! Cars trying to go up the hill have problems too!
I'll let all the pictures do the talking.

Another DELL to add to the Family

Image
The Dell Mini 10v Netbook is the new addition to my collection of Dell Computers . Despite the fact that I already have portable laptop given to me from work and my own personal laptop; I wanted something even smaller, lighter, and practical. Since netbooks are so affordable and inexpensive; you wouldn't see me really cry over the fact if it got stolen or broken. Yes, I would be upset, but it's not that harsh on the wallet if anything were to happen. Portability was my main objective. I wanted something compact that gave me to ability to toss into my "man purse" messenger bag (my small Timbuk2 bag) and small enough to also fit into my camera backpack as well with ease. Since we have been doing a lot of travelling lately, this small compact netbook is so much easier to carry around. One of the big selling points for me was the fact that I could " Hackintosh " this netbook. Hackintoshing is basically taking a PC computer and running Apple Computer's Ope...

Merry Christmas from Justin and Sherry!!!

Photo by TT with JM's Camera/Piazza Market - North Beach - San Francisco, CA Yes, this posting is a tad bit early, but as I look at the clock; I'm only a few hours away from Christmas Eve! This December has been hectic as usual. Here is just a quick highlight: Mickey's 10 th Birthday Trip to New York City My 33rd Birthday December birthday celebration with friends As everyone is hustling and bustling through the shopping malls until the late hours for last minute gifts; I'm relaxing from my living room! I did in fact do the majority of my shopping online. Which is way much easier than dealing with traffic, crowded parking lots, and crazy shoppers. I did notice that the shopping malls are not as hectic or chaotic as they have been in the past. Not sure if it's the bad economy to blame, or everyone is just shopping online. Probably the busiest companies during this time is UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal Service. This year we've decided to keep a low profile a...

New iPhone 5S

Image
YES!  The Apple iPhone 5S.  It arrived today from a direct shipped airplane from my ancestor's Motherland (China).  It's been a long overdue upgrade since my last post way back in January 2010 when I decided to convert from a Crackberry user to a Apple iPhone junkie. It's time to take the trusty iPhone 3GS and use it as my work phone. When Apple decided to announce the release of the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S, I was one of those smart people who didn't stand in line at their local Apple store.  I did stop by to check out the line, but didn't stand it line because I really didn't care to have this new phone on the release date.  The most coveted was the 5S in "GOLD"  It's just not my cup of tea and apparently there was a limited supply available in the gold color. I just opted for the space gray with 32 GB in storage. Here are my likes: The camera is superb! lower f stop for better low light photos.  I'm amazed at how sharp the photos ...
