Yea, I haven’t posted anything to my blog lately because Twitter is just way too convenient. If you haven’t already, you should follow me (@scottkuo) on Twitter! What have I been up to since I got back to Vancouver? Well, the Google Maps screen cap really explains it all (or almost all)! I have been [...]

It’s the Macs and the ThinkPads! I bumped into Alex, Dan and Adrian after my interview with Microsoft (Redmond) today and we went to DC afterwards to do some work.
