We went to a parade in Seattle's International District to celebrate Chinese New Years with the Andersons, and the Hickenbottoms. Heather and Colin were both in the parade! I took a bunch (14 vids!) of iPhone video during the event, including some of the martial arts demonstrations. The videos are all uploaded to YouTube and you can watch them there.
Cheers.

Here are some pictures Mikel uploaded from our Winter 2009 vacation to Whitefish Montana. We drove there from Seattle, and considering how many mountain passes we drove through in December, we had a pretty easy time of it.
On the way back we stopped in Cle Elum and stayed with the Surprenants at their cabin for New Years Eve. Lots of fun.
Cheers.

I almost forgot to post up a blog entry to highlight the new photos we uploaded from our recent trip to the island of Phuket in Thailand. We flew out for two weeks, and had a blast! Beautiful beaches, luxurious pools and massages, scuba diving, sea caves, wrong-side driving expeditions, Buddhist temples, and more. Even Mikel and myself riding atop an elephant.
Take a look:

This year my company, ISOMEDIA, decided to start a wellness program for our employees (and me). As part of our wellness program we have been working with the Polyclinic in Seattle, and they introduced us to the American Diabetes Association fund raising StepOut walk-a-thon program for 2008. So this October 11th many of us here at ISOMEDIA, and as many friends and family members who would like to walk as well, will walk 5km or 10km around Seward Park in Seattle. Links to the event page and a donation page are listed below.
The event is fun and great for the whole family! Step Out and experience the difference you can make!

I worked as the PC Zone Manager back in 1991 (when I was 22), and this was the first catalog that we created. It included the release of MS DOS Version 5. The first retail upgrade of DOS, ever. I came up with a crazy promotion at the time, selling the MS DOS Upgrade for $59, along with a pack of coupons for $59 in savings on future purchases. I even had the audacity to hint that it was effectively "Free". Very cheezy, but we sold through more MS DOS upgrades than anyone at the time thought possible.
The scans below are the first three pages from that inaugural catalog in 1991, which includes the MS DOS 5 promotion. Call me nostalgic ;)
