Around May 2007, I walked into Archery Only, an archery shop in Newark, CA. I rented some equipment and spent a couple of hours on their shooting range. I was hooked! A couple weeks later, I was the proud owner of a brand new compound bow. Months have passed and I have gradually increased the [...]
Well, Vancouver was far less of a hassle than I expected. The consulate had my passport ready the same day and I was left with a couple of days to do some sightseing. Also, Budget car rentals at the Vancouver airport gave me over 100 bucks worth of coupons for all kinds of things from [...]
Here we go again… I am leaving in 2 days for Vancouver again. This is a repeat of last year’s visa stamping thing at the US consulate there. It should go much smoother this time since they already have most of my information on their computers. I guess we’ll see if I am staying 6 [...]

HiP Hop MarocUploaded by goovideo
These days, I am learning more and more about my own people. This video sums up to stuff you don’t see on TV. Nobody here is wearing white dresses or long beards, just twenty somethings having fun. Exciting stuff, including a dropped lawsuit against Hard Metal band due to intesive riotting/protests. I guess Morocco will [...]
Well, I’ve had a couple of weeks to play with my N770 and here is why I think Nokia is going to nail UMPCs to the wall:
Form factor: Bigger is NOT better when you have to lug it around! 1.7 pounds!! If i need a bag then i might as well carry a nice compaq [...]

I spent most of my time there visiting family, helping my parents prepare their retirement residences, and eating [...]

On the plus side, ’tis the season and all that, so Merry Christmas, Happy [...]
So, I’ve been living la vida loca for a while since I got back from Vancouver. Things are quieting down a little. Looking forward to the snow season, when I’ll be driving to Kirkwood at Tahoe almost (maybe even every) weekend!
Oh, yeah, going back to Casablanca, Morroco, for a couple of weeks. I’ll try and [...]
I am finally going home!!
Visa clearance granted, going home Saturday morning and then it’s paaaaaarty!
Still in Vancouver. Day 37, still no news.
I sent the consulate another email hoping they can shed some light on what is taking so long. How hard can it be to figure out I am not a threat. I have lived in the US legally for the last 7 years for christ’s sake!!
Frustration mounting. Not [...]
I have been in Vacouver for 34 days waiting for my visa from the US consulate. I can’t believe I have been stuck here for so long. If this goes on much longer, I am moving to Canada!
