Yes, I am late. Very late.
But still, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Â 😀 Â If any of you know of a way to share links easier and faster on WordPress pages (like mine), please let me know!! Â I wish there was something like “Google+1” or “Share on Facebook” but on my WordPress site.
Well, I knew it was coming and it is here! As some of you know, I was in California for total of a month on working the Boeing’s CCDev wind tunnel test at NASA Ames Research Center’s Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel. What I hadn’t told you guys was that Discovery Channel Canada came to do an interview to do 5 minute short on this test! I was on the night shift and they came to do the interview and video taping during the day.
Well, I am glad to see my co-workers and our very own project on TV!  :D Watch the clip if you haven’t already!
Holy cow!! They are making a comeback!! Support if you are a fan please!!
It’s been a while since I had visited the Bay Area so I took the Saturday to (re)visit the area. Â First of all, someone should’ve told me that it is PACKED with traffic! Â The traffic in Houston was NOTHING compared to the Bay Area! Â Second, that the parking would be horrendous! Â I wanted to visit the Coit Tower but ended up parking way off and walk up to the tower.
That’s Coit Tower in the center…
The hills really ARE steep in San Francisco!
That’s Alcatraz, the infamous prison island…
The views are simply breathtaking! Â It’s true that San Francisco is a beautiful city… I don’t deny that at all…
It is as hilly as it seems from this view!
View on my way down…
Coit Tower from the bottom…
And who can forget the (overrated) Golden Gate Bridget?! Â 😛
And driving across it…
And I got to drink lots of great coffee!
And I got to see my cousins… This is my cousin Michelle and her family…
And this is Sunny and their daughter…
Love the Dilbert, and it hit home run today with this comic strip!
Seriously, Apple, you need to shape up… you are making me hate you even more! Â Innovation, my butt!
