CSI: Miami – Why I stopped watching it…

January 17th, 2007 · No Comments

I am a fan of the original CSI: Las Vegas. We still watch it every week whenever there is a new episode. I remembered when CSI: Miami first came out, I thought to myself: “Why not? It will probably be pretty good too.” What I found is that, sure, the writing of the show is [...]

Arlington West Memorial at Santa Monica Pier

January 16th, 2007 · No Comments

Right after our visit to the Getty Villa on the way home on the Pacific Highway, we passed by the Santa Monica Pier and decided to pay another $6 for parking so we could go walk around some more (amazingly, neither of us had been to the Pier). Well, the pier was pretty beat down [...]

Like I mentioned before, Getty is one of our favorite museums (due to its FREE-ness), and now with the newly opened (after renovation) Getty Villa in Malibu, it’s going to be our favorite to the power of 2! The J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa in Malibu opened on January 28, 2006, after [...]

Getty Center – Where We Live, Photographs of America

January 15th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I have to say that The Getty Center is one of our favor museums to go to whenever we feel like museum-going. They have a good collection, impressive architectures, nice gardens, and the best of all, it’s FREE! (You do have to pay $8 for parking, but it’s in LA, and that’s considered reasonable, or [...]

JacknJeannie.com & ZoneAlarm

January 14th, 2007 · 2 Comments

It took me forever to figure out why the site looks ok on my regular computer but looks off on my laptop (images with links weren’t being displayed)…  I finally noticed that it’s because of ZoneAlarm and its overly aggressive Ad-Blocking settings…  So if you are using ZoneAlarm on its default settings, you are probably [...]

The Illusionist

January 12th, 2007 · No Comments

We watched The Illusionist the other day (I think it was the 1st or 2nd day it came out on DVD) since I had originally wanted to go watch it in the theater, and both Jeannie and I liked it very much. Jeannie commented that it’s one of the best movies that we have seen [...]

Spent most of the night tonight making some site changes: We now have secured online webmail access (click on the “Webmail” link at the lower right corner of the page) using RoundCube, which is a pretty good FREE program if anyone is interested.

January 11th, 2007 · No Comments

First of all, I hope no one who read this blog actually signed up with Globat when I first mentioned it being cheap and stuff… If you did, I apologize that you got suckered in to it, by ME. And if you didn’t, good for you, run away. Why does Globat suck so much you [...]

OMG I am tired

January 10th, 2007 · No Comments

I finally finished the hosting move and we are now with a new hosting company because Globat sucks and I simply couldn’t take the suckness of dealing with them anymore. The full story of how they suck later. For now, the site is so much faster and responsive. I am happier already – but dead [...]
