life Foodieland We didn't have any plans for the 4th of July weekend. But a Facebook ad feed came up in my feed: Foodieland Night Market. I had to admit that it is an effective audience targeting because I had got pressure from my wife hanging out somewhere during the
book The Dispossessed On a Saturday afternoon, a friend of my daughter (who met each other at the summer camp) visited our home and occupied the living - and I pushed into the backyard. Under the sunshade of the backyard, I thought it was the best time to write a review for a
moloco Seattle 2022 Last week, I visited the Seattle office. Many of my co-workers are in the Seattle office, and as we've been growing so fast, it was an excellent time to put new names to their real faces. When I first visited the Seattle office, it was in 2018, and
dubs Dubs 2022 Dubs won the NBA 2021-2022 Championship. I've watched about a half of the Dubs games this season (on TV, except for the first playoff game). I was not a basketball fan. When the Japanese comic Slam Dunk was popular in Korea, I used to do some shooting practices
wwdc WWDC 2022 Three years in a row, WWDC was also held as an online-only event. I know a few (not sure how many) forks were invited to Apple Park for an on-site "viewing" event, but I couldn't be one of them. Maybe, Apple might still be concerning my
Yosemite 2022 Just right after coming back from Vegas, I left for the Memorial Day weekend family trip to the most popular national park in California: Yosemite. I tried to make a reservation early this year but found that all campsites were already gone (I learned later that some portion of sites
moloco Programmatic IO 2022 I've been busy for the last few weeks: both for work and private. The word 'busy' comes to us as a synonym of tiredness, but sometimes of energy or vitality. And for me, that was the latter because I could've been on a business
game Tunic Warning: this post has a light spoiler about the game Tunic. I didn't think it would take this long to write this post about Tunic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunic_(video_game)]; I thought I could see the ending two weeks ago. Xbox Game Pass gave me

movie The Multiverse of Madness I've seen "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness [https://www.marvel.com/movies/doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse-of-madness]." So, now I'm spoiler proof. I can hardly be a Marvel fan - I literally 'never' have read any marvel comics. But I would be a definite
baseball Oracle Park 2022 Last Saturday, I visited Oracle Park for the first time this season. Frankly, AT&T Park is still the more familiar name to me; moreover, I feel obscurely it's more beautiful to see the letters "AT&T." It was 2008 when I became the
game Elden Ring In the aftermath of the Twitter frenzy, I learned that there had been a debate about a New York Times article. Interestingly, it was an article about a game, maybe the hottest game these days: Elden Ring [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elden_Ring]. It seemed that several Tweets (of

apple Apple Maps When Apple announced its own map service (in 2012): Apple Maps, I thought it was a silly and extravagant idea because Google Maps was so dominant (and looked perfect) at the time. However, ten years have passed, and Apple Maps is my first and favorite map service: especially for driving
business Twitter vs. Musk The hottest tech news of the last week should be Elon Musk's battle with Twitter. * 4/4: It had been disclosed that Elon Musk bought more than 9% of Twitter stocks, which made him the largest individual shareholder. By the end of the day, the board of Twitter
dubs The Courtside Although I'm a baseball guy, I've also enjoyed watching Warriors games. Watching live local sports games might be the only reason I'm still on the linear TV; I might have watched more than half of the Warriors' live games on TV this season.
baseball Giants 2022 Playball! Giants' new season just started. The Giants got the winning series over the Marlins in the opening series. My favorite player in this year's squad is Darin Ruf. Not only because he played in Korea, but also because he showed solid two years as a Giant.

life Facebook Marketplace Scam One collateral damage of my Death Valley trip was that we bought La-Z-Boy recliners. We had one night at Harris Ranch, and the room had a recliner. All my family loved it, and we decided to buy one. We bought one love chair and one manual recliner from La-Z-Boy. So,
